Hi
09:20
Bertl
hey, how's going?
09:21
niculescu_vlad

09:25
sagnikbasu
Hi Bertl , so I posted some queries in the lab page of GSOC project "Real time sobel filter in fpga".Could you please check them?
09:30
niculescu_vlad
joined the channel
09:31
Bertl
well, the flow chart is not entirely correct
09:33
sagnikbasu
Ok..is it the connection between the camera sensor and fpga ?
09:33
Bertl
first, the camera sensor is connected to the FPGA, so the data is first there
09:35
sagnikbasu
so how many signals do i expect from the sensor ?
09:35
Bertl
then the data is stored into DDR memory and the HDMI output pipeline fetches this data again from memory for the output
09:35
niculescu_vlad
left the channel
09:35
Bertl
now, depending on the actual use case, the filter will be either active on the sensor data
09:36
Bertl
i.e. in the input/sensor pipeline
09:36
niculescu_vlad
joined the channel
09:36
Bertl
or on the output pipeline
09:37
Bertl
access to multiple frames is not available at the moment (for various reasons)
09:38
Bertl
the sensor itself is connected with a bunch of LVDS pairs
09:38
Bertl
(up to 80 max) which are used to transfer the data
09:38
Bertl
clock rate between 200 and 600 MHz
09:39
Bertl
also, it is a CMOS sensor (not a CCD)
09:40
sagnikbasu
So I assume that we will be getting pixel data from 80 such pairs simultaneously..
09:40
sagnikbasu
i.e. 80 LVDS pairs
09:40
niculescu_vlad

and apply the pipelined convolutiom kernel to them..

yes, data is retrieved in parallel (current setup has 32 channels, and the sensor transfers blocks of two rows)

hello
11:13
niculescu_vlad
did you manage to implement something else?
11:13
niculescu_vlad
one question: where should we post files?
11:13
niculescu_vlad
with attempts
11:20
Elbehery
hey <niculescu_vlad>
11:21
Elbehery
so far i submitted the files on my github repo, and added a link at the ideas page comment section
11:21
Elbehery
i think this is ok
11:22
niculescu_vlad
ok. I will do the same on my google drive
11:23
usmankhan
joined the channel
11:24
Elbehery
cool, but in case you have some time, posting this on github with a readme file + license should probably be the best thing
11:25
niculescu_vlad
ok
11:26
Elbehery
btw have you checked the current posted prototypes ?
11:31
niculescu_vlad
no. I've seen the modules you wrote. I think the PWM can be written as a state machine to be easier to understand. I can try it. And I will also try to implement a PID algorithm in verilog
11:31
niculescu_vlad
did you try the I2C module?
11:32
niculescu_vlad
I suggest to write all your codes as state machines. It is easier to follow the information flow
11:32
Elbehery
they already are FSMs
11:32
Elbehery
check the state diagram at the readme file
11:34
niculescu_vlad
i didn;t see any case
11:35
Elbehery
ohh, let me send you the repo. link

i2cslave + pwm + top module + tb
11:37
niculescu_vlad
yes I saw
11:37
usmankhan
left the channel
11:38
niculescu_vlad
if the I2C works this is good
11:38
niculescu_vlad
but I suggested to write the PWG gen within a single always block
11:38
niculescu_vlad
to avoid problems
11:39
Elbehery
pwm generator ?
11:40
Elbehery
hmm, good point this is probably should be tested on a real FPGA though then other iterative design path to enhance the rtl
11:41
niculescu_vlad
yes. Usually generating the bitfile can produce problems when using always@(*)
11:41
niculescu_vlad
like combinational loops
11:42

controller*

Hey ArrunM, Google will provide official link to submit the proposal after 20th March. However, you can write the draft proposal and share it on either github or google doc
12:16
ArrunM
thnaks!! usmankhan
12:20
niculescu_vlad
Bertl, we should discuss about the number of sensors. This is actually the number of inputs in my control algorithm and I want to start designing it.

niculescu_vlad: there are temp sensors in the image sensor, inside the zynq and on the power board
12:26

optionally there is an additional temp sensor on the sensor board but that's not used at the moment

Sorry for being idle. Classes...
15:21

just had my internet back, checked your comment

ohh no problem
15:21
Elbehery
by the way

" I wrote a simplified but functional iteration of PWM generator and now, I want to start working at the PIC controller."
15:21
Elbehery
as much as i understand
15:22
Elbehery
the software will be running on the Zynq FPGA which has an ARM processor not a PIC
15:22
niculescu_vlad
Sorry. I wanted to write PID
15:22
niculescu_vlad
Not PIC
15:23
Elbehery
ohh great then
15:23
niculescu_vlad
I will edit my comment. Thank you
15:24
Elbehery
and also have some question related to the pwm gen
15:25
Elbehery
i am confused, how can we interface this generator with the I2c slave. Cant find the 8/16 bit input register that sets the output duty cycle

15:29
niculescu_vlad

15:29
Elbehery
okay letme sent this again
15:29
Elbehery
i was asking about the pwm generator posted on the comment
15:29
Elbehery
so far cant figure out how to set the duty cycle of this generator
15:30
niculescu_vlad
by modifying the TH parameter
15:30
niculescu_vlad
which is the threshold
15:30
niculescu_vlad
it is on 10 bits. So the duty cycle is TH/1024
15:31
Elbehery
ohh missed reading this input so sorry :)
15:31
niculescu_vlad
it's ok
15:40
niculescu_vlad
if admitted in SOC, I guess we will work in Vivado
15:40
niculescu_vlad
isn't it?
15:42

i don't know honestly
