Chapter 3
Digital Camera Design Demonstration
This chapter illustrates how to exercise the digital camera reference design provided with the kit.
Users can follow the instructions in this chapter to build a 5 Mega Pixel camera using their DE4 /
DE2_115 / DE2-70 / DE2 / DE1 in minutes.
3. 1 Demonstration Setup
The image raw data is sent from D5M to the DE4 / DE2_115 /DE2-70 / DE2
/ DE1 board. The FPGA on the DE4 / DE2_115 /DE2-70 / DE2 / DE1 board
is handling image processing part and converts the data to RGB format to
display on the DVI / VGA monitor. For DE2-70, the image captured at
SDRAM can be taken at anytime (snapshot) and uploaded to a PC as a
BMP/JPG file.
3. 2 Camera Demonstration Setup On DE4 Board
Locate the project directory from the CD-ROM included and follow the
steps below:
Directory: Demonstration / DE4_230/530_D5M_DVI
FPGA Bitstream Used: DE4_230/530_ D5M_DVI.sof
1.
Ensure the connection is made correctly as shown in
Figure 3-1. Make
sure the D5M is connected to JP4 (GPIO 1) and DVI daughter card is
connected to J20 (HSMC PORT A) of the DE4 board with two THCB-HMF2
interface cards which are bundled in the DE4 kit.
2.
Insert the DDR2 memory card into J9 (DDR2 SO-DIMM-1).
3.
Connect the DVI TX output of the DVI daughter card to a DVI monitor.
4.
Copy the directory DE4_230/530_D5M_VGA from D5M System CD-ROM to
the host computer.
5.
Download the bitstream (DE4_230/530_D5M_DVI.sof) to the DE4 board.
6.
The system enters the FREE RUN mode automatically. Press BUTTON

9.
User can use the SW[0] to set the DVI display mode. When SW [0] is
set to Off, the DVI will display whatever the camera captures. when
On, the DVI will display color pattern.
Press BUTTON [2] to take a shot of the photo; you can press
BUTTON [3] again to switch back to FREE RUN mode and you should
be able to see whatever the camera captures on the VGA display..
User can use the SLIDE_SW [0] with BUTTON [1] to set the exposure
time for brightness adjustment of the image captured. When
SLIDE_SW [0] is set to Off, the brightness of image will be increased
as BUTTON [1] is pressed longer. If SLIDE_SW [0] is set to On, the
brightness of image will be decreased as BUTTON [1] is pressed
shorter.
10. Set the SLIDE_SW [1] to On (upper position), the captured image
will be enlarged with BUTTON [0] and BUTTON [3] pressed in order.
11. Table 3-1 summarizes the functional keys of the digital camera.
Figure 3-1 The Connection Setup for DE4 users
12. User can revise the header file "vpg.h" in the project to select the
system resolution between SXGA@1280*1024 and VGA@640*480
(note*).
13. After revision, regenerate the project and repeat above steps.
Note: users should revise the parameter ‘PORT_SIZE_BYTES’ of the
DDR2_ODIMM_Read/Write_Port modules in SOPC Builder under each resolution
(640*480*4, 1280*1024*4 respectively) .

Locate the project directory from the CD-ROM included and follow the steps
below:
Directory: Demonstration / DE2_115_CAMERA
FPGA Bitstream Used: DE2_115_ CAMERA.sof
1.
Ensure the GPIO voltage level is set to 3.3V via JP6 (GPIO_VCCIO) of the
DE2-115 board.
2.
Ensure the connection is made correctly as shown in
Figure 3-2. Make
sure the D5M is connected to JP5 (GPIO) of the DE2-115 board.
3.
Connect the VGA output of the DE2-115 board to a VGA monitor.
4.
Copy the directory DE2_115_D5M_VGA from D5M System CD-ROM to the
host computer.
5.
Download the bitstream (DE2_115_D5M_VGA.sof/pof) to the DE2_115
board.
