Lab Objectives
Upon completion of this lab, you will understand how to create a complete stand-alone video system based on the Avnet Spartan-3A DSP DaVinci Devlopment kit with PS Video EXP module and XGA flat panel LCD display, proceeding with the following steps:
generate an FPGA co-processor with VLYNQ interface to DM6437 processor;
integrate the co-processor into a larger system that contains the entire FPGA infrastructure for board-level functionality of the Avnet Spartan-3A DSP DaVinci Devlopment kit, including video input and output via the Avnet PS Video EXP module;
auto-generate code using The MathWorks Embedded Coder TC6 for the DM6437 DaVinci processor to create the stand-alone video stabilization system.
