displaying to TRDB_LCM

guys... 

 

i want to display something to the TRDB_LCM. i use the DE1 board, Quartus II 9.0 and Nios 9.0. i just wanna ask if the connection between the SDRAM, pixel buffer, and VGA core in the SOPC builder is already correct or not. i attached the connection in SOPC. thanks

i'm doing my project where i need to read the JPEG file from sd card and then display it to lcd screen TRDB_LCM. i've been able to read the data and decompressed it. so now i have to display them. i use the sdram as the buffer. so i use vga controller core, pixel buffer core, and sdram controller core. i set the memory buffer start address to sdram controller base address.  

 

and to test it, i use the code below: 

 

 

alt_up_pixel_buffer_dev * pixel_buf_dev; 

// open the Pixel Buffer port 

//pixel_buf_dev = alt_up_pixel_buffer_open_dev ("/dev/pixel_buffer"); 

if ( pixel_buf_dev == NULL) 

alt_printf ("Error: could not open pixel buffer device \n"); 

else 

alt_printf ("Opened pixel buffer device \n"); 

/* Clear and draw a blue box on the screen */ 

alt_up_pixel_buffer_clear_screen (pixel_buf_dev, 0); 

volatile int i =0; 

volatile int j =0; 

volatile int cnt =0; 

while(1){ 

if(cnt==50000){ 

if(j==200){ 

j=0; 

i+=20; 

if(i==200)i=0; 

//  

alt_up_pixel_buffer_clear_screen (pixel_buf_dev, 0); 

alt_up_pixel_buffer_draw_box (pixel_buf_dev, j, 10, i, 10, 0xf01F, 0); 

j++; 

cnt = 0; 

cnt++; 

 

but there's nothing displayed on the screen, just all white. 

i dont know what's wrong. do i have to store the RGB data to sdram first?? are there any other configurations need to be done?? 

 

 

 

 

thanks before
