morning folks!

Good morning!

hey, how's it going?

apurvanandan[m]
Not much, Just going through the codes and reading about new things.
13:24
Bertl
like for example?
13:24
apurvanandan[m]
Bertl I think major part of island data won't be required. Just info about the resolution needs to be sent which can be sent once in the starting. Am I right?
13:25
Bertl
are you talking about HDMI now?
13:27
apurvanandan[m]
I mean that island data is sort irrelevant to the usb module.
13:27
Bertl
ah, yes
13:31
Bertl
the information is still relevant, but no need to transfer the island data over USB
13:31
Bertl
i.e. there are different resolutions and color modes on USB as well
13:32
Bertl
but there is no point in using the convoluted island data for it
13:32
Bertl
in the UVC case, all this needs to be set for the FTDI
13:32
Bertl
in the raw data case, there needs to be some kind of header information

Bertl why is that the hdmi_ch0 to 3 go to color correction module before being encoded while hdmi_ch4 is directly sent to rgb encoder module?
14:19
Bertl
channel 0-3 contain the image data (R,G1,G2,B) while ch4 contains metadata
14:21
Bertl
(i.e. the overlay)
14:23
apurvanandan[m]
Oh I see, there is a overlay process for this.
14:28
Bertl
aSobhy: what's up on your side?

I'm taking a tour in lattice diamond
15:14
aSobhy
didn't download vivado yet but I'm trying
15:17
aSobhy
beside Study networks (just refreshment) :)
15:17
Bertl
ah, Lattice Diamond :)
15:17
Bertl
I remember that it was a little tricky first to find all the parts to run it from commandline
15:18
Bertl
I do not remember much else about it though
15:21
aSobhy
yeah collecting my commands to save them
15:22
Bertl
there is a make file for the routing fabric bitstream
15:22

15:22
Bertl
(might come handy)
15:26
aSobhy
nice, seeing them now ^_^
15:30
apurvanandan[m]
Bertl, could you explain me what is this overlay here?
15:33
Bertl
sure, currently the sensor image data is burst into memory in a square four sensel arrangement
15:33
Bertl
i.e. a square of four sensel (R, G1, G2, B) with 12 bit each are stored together in a 64bit memory location
15:34
Bertl
4x12 bit = 48bit which leaves 16bit 'unused'
15:35
Bertl
we decided to use this space for an overlay which affects the full HD pixels generated from the 2x2 sensel words
15:36
Bertl
if you look at overlay.vhd, there the 16bits are interpreted to form said overlay image
15:37
Bertl
two bits are used to control transparency, the other control color and there are special symbols for a blink effect
15:38
Bertl
(this happens outside of the overlay entity)

Bertl
the alpha mixing is done in overlay_proc in top.vhd
15:50
Bertl
well, looking at the code, everything is done in overlay_proc in the current version :)
16:12
Bertl
any further questions or all clear? :)
16:13
apurvanandan[m]
This part is clear , but more questions coming soon. ^^'
16:15
apurvanandan[m]
Earlier I was planning to use the lut after the color correction for doing the 8b/10b encoding but now I think hd_code is the signal to be sent over.
16:17
Bertl
for raw output, we definitely want unmodified raw data from the sensor
16:18
Bertl
i.e. the 12bit sensor data (R,G1,G2,B) without any LUT or color matrix
16:18
Bertl
for the UVC case, we have several options
16:19
Bertl
we can do color space conversion on the MachXO2 or we can do that in the ZYNQ fabric
16:21
apurvanandan[m]
So that means I will use the data coming from the fifo which is connected to axi hp reader.
16:22
Bertl
for raw output, yes
16:31
apurvanandan[m]
Great. Now it is more clear i.e. basically this fifo data needs to reach MachXO2. :)

How are you?
20:54
Nira
Great! Weekends always look so fast
20:55
se6astian
welcome back, how are you getting along with the code so far?
20:57
Nira
I'm reading PIC32 documentation now, I've been checking the code and I'm trying to understand what I don't know yet!

aSobhy
can I have a look at any VHDL code on both sides machxo2 and zinq ?
23:07
Bertl
there is some VHDL code for the Lattice which I linked not too long ago (check IRC logs for today)
23:08
aSobhy
also the past year their was a student working on the project as I submitted where do I get it
23:08
Bertl
https://github.com/apertus-open-source-cinema/axiom-beta-firmware/tree/master/peripherals
23:08
Bertl
here you can find the Zynq (soc_main) and MachXO2 (routing_east) examples
23:10
aSobhy
is the same code for both MachXO2 FPGAs

at the moment we only have code in one routing fabric
23:33
Bertl
i.e. the other one is empty and jtag instructions are used to toggle pins :)
