Using xilinx platform studio embedded development kit(EDK), initially VGA peripheral should be configured,then to display images existing in PC to VGA through RS232(serial) communication.

sir i need a code to install .coe file(image) on to the FPGA board through SDRAM using EDK software.

i am getting the image( square,rectangle,triangle) of this type. but i m not able to install an image of type mickey mouse(600*300)

MY board configuration is: XILINX 11.1 version

family: spartan 3E starter board
XC3S500E
package: FG320
speed grade: -4
 


hi,
I am also doing my M.tech project on the same idea of displaying an image on vga monitor.In which language did u write the code for displaying square,rectangle,traingle? I mean whether in VHDL or verilog or in c language using xilinx xps and sdk?

Hi,
Can you please help me to achieve this.How you did this?
I'm using Spartan3e starter kit and EDK 9.2i.I need to display any of the four shapes(rectangle,square,triangle and circle) through VGA port depending upon the output.
Kindly help me.
Thanks in advance

u have to initialize first vga peripherals, and then generate a bit stream by converting jpeg image to coe extension file image,dump this bit stream to fpga, and display this on the vga monitor.

Kindly help me

hi, i have a doubt here.we will initialize vga peripheral uisng xilinx xps and will generate a bit stream.but after converting jpeg to coe, how can we access or send that .coe data to display it on vga monitor? moreover i have done several experiments on initializing xps_tft ip core on different xilinx edk (10.1,11.1 , 13.1)versions. xilinx edk 10.1 does not have xps_tft ip core. so i tried on xilinx edk 11.1.but i am fed up with 11.1 as it always shows the error that the port names defined in ucf file is not matching with the original design. I have also done on 13.1. I can generate download.bit file in SDk.but when i connect it to spartan 3e and verify the color bar code example, I could see nothing on vga screen.

My question is how to access or send or store that .coe file data into spartan 3e board and read it ?
which memory element is best suited for that?
if so, how we can do that?

I am using Xilinx edk 11.1 version and Spartan 3e board

regards,

Dear nenavath

How can we dump this coe file value into fpga to display this on the VGA port.please help me.thanks in advance
