Fream Reader DE1-SoC

Altera_Forum · ‎07-07-2015

Dear all,

I want to manually start VGA output using Frame Reader and Clocked Video Output.

As a reference I'm using project form SystemCD: DE1-SoC_v.3.1.1_SystemCD\Demonstrations\SOC_FPGA\DE1_SOC_Linux_FB. (so there is no need to attach

The original design is working correctly with DE1_SoC_FB (displaying console)

Then I change SD card image to DE1_SoC_SD (simple OS without any video) and try to configure FrameReader manually:

int switches;
int i,j;
uint8_t video_ram;
int main(){
    fd = open("/dev/mem", (O_RDWR|O_SYNC));
    virtual_base = mmap(NULL, REG_SPAN, (PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE), MAP_SHARED, fd, REG_BASE);
    led_addr = virtual_base + LED_PIO_BASE;
    sw_addr=virtual_base + DIPSW_PIO_BASE;
    
    
    video_addr = virtual_base + ALT_VIP_VFR_VGA_BASE;
    
    *((uint32_t *)(video_addr)+ALTERA_FRAME_READER_FRAME_0_BASE_ADDR) = (uint32_t)video_ram;
    usleep(100);
    *((uint32_t *)(video_addr)+ALTERA_FRAME_READER_FRAME_0_WORDS) =  1024*768*4*8/128;//p. 13-1/2 -  pixels*planes*bits_per_pixel_per_plane/master bus width

    for(i=0;i<1024;i++){
        for(j=0;j<768;j++){
            video_ram=i+j;
        }
    }
    
    /*while(1){
        *((uint32_t *)(video_addr)+ALTERA_FRAME_READER_CONTROL) = ALTERA_FRAME_READER_CONTROL_GO;

    while(1){
        switches=*(uint32_t *)sw_addr;

But VGA screen shows "No Signal". I modified the code in different ways, according to several therads on this forum, but nothing helped - changing interlacing, words, single cycle patterns etc.

Also nowhere i found complete QSys design with working code - sometimes there is a design but without working simple code, sometimes code reported to work, but without details of the design.

Thank you in advise for any help.
