Frame Reader configuration

[Altera_Forum]

Hi, 

I use DE2 board and TERASIC TRDB_LTM (800x480 Touch LCD) I attempt to build the following configuration: NIOS2 that runs the program from SRAM: Works LCD that is connected to Video Clocked Output IP that is fed from Frame Reader that reads the data from DE2 SDRAM. The Video interface is configured to 3 planes 5 bit each, parallel. with resolution that is the same as the LCD.  If i connect Test Pattern Generator instead of Frame Reader, then i get the pattern.  If i connect Frame Reader I fail to get any picture.  I'm not sure regarding the configuration of the Frame Reader.  The SOPC configuration of the Frame Reader: 16 bit port. max width:800 max height:480 parallel planes: 3 serial planes: 1 bits per color plane: 5   As far as i understand the configuration, there is 1 cycle per word. so words per frame= cycles per frame=800*480=384000 am i correct? what should i set in the interlacing register (i want to hold all the frame in one place)? any insights regarding SDRAM configuration on DE2 board? (although i think it works fine)  Thanks in advance.

hi there, 

 in the video imaging user guide is written the maximum size of the frame is 640X480, u should use a scaler if want a bigger picture...  im also trying to run the frame buffer with nearly the same configurations but i also cant get an image.  greets

I was able to get an image using the example from this thread: 

http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/showthread.php?p=83223 i just changed the connections of the example to GPIO that i used for the LTM device.

use the frame reader in my design with the following settings: 

Bits per pixel per color plane: 8 Number of color planes in parallel: 3 Number of color planes in sequence: 1 Maximum Image width: 1920 Maximum Image height: 1080 Master port width: 64 Read master FIFO depth: 1024 Read master FIFO burst target: 64 Use separate clock for the Avalon MM master interface: unchecked  Kindly confirm if the following calculations for number the words and the Single Cycle Color Patterns are true or not 1- // Words IOWR(FRAMEREADER_BASE, 5, 259200); // (1920*1080*8*3)/48= 1036800   2- // Single Cycle Color Patterns IOWR(FRAMEREADER_BASE, 6, 2073600); // 1920*1080=2073600 number of pixels in the frame
