Nexys Video User Demo

The Nexys Video User Demo project demonstrates usage of most of the the Nexys Video's peripheral devices. . The behavior is as follows:

• The 8 User LEDs are tied to the 8 User Switches. Pressing any of the 5 push buttons inverts the LEDs.
• The audio demo records a 5 second sample from microphone (J6) or line in (J7) and plays it back on headphone out (J4) or line out (J5). Record and playback is started by pushbuttons (described in the table below).
• The Ethernet can be plugged into a network and is configured to work as an Echo Server.
• With a DVI source connected to J9 (HDMI IN), the demo works as a pass-through buffer outputting the data on DVI output J8 (HDMI OUT) and also J10 (DISPLAYPORT OUT).
• In the absence of a DVI source, the demo switches the video output to an internally generated pattern.
• A USB mouse can be connected and used to control the pointer from the DVI output.
• The XADC is set up to monitor the internal FPGA temperature, VCCINT voltage and VCCAUX voltage.
• The on-boardOLEDshows the Digilent logo on power-up. After two seconds, it switches to display the XADC readings and the local IP address.
• The Nexys Video also sends status messages and XADC readings through the UART terminal. It is configured to work at a baud rate of 115200 with 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.

• Basic familiarity with Vivado
  • This experience can be found by walking through our “Getting Started with Vivado” guide

• Nexys Video FPGA board
• Micro-USB cable
• Nexys Video Power Supply
• Ethernet cord (for echo server)

• Vivado Design Suite 2015.X
  • Newer/older versions can be used, but the procedure may vary slightly

Nexys Video User Demo –ZIP

1.1) Download the project linked in the download section and unzip it in the location of your choosing.

1.2) Open NexysVideoGPIODemo.xpr in Vivado.

2.1) ClickGenerate Bitstreamon the left hand menu towards the bottom. Vivado will run through both Run Synthesis and Run Implementation before it generates the bitstream automatically.

Note: If you want, you can click each step by itself in the order ofRun Synthesis,Run Implementationand thenGenerate Bitstream.

3.1)导出microblaze项目去File>Export>Export Hardware. Click the check box to Include the bitstream, and export it local to project. This will create a .sdk folder in your project directory. Afterwards, clickFile>Launch SDKto launch Xilinx SDK.

4.1) In your project Explorer window on the left side, clickFile>Importthen expand the General tab and clickExisting Projects into Workspace. Navigate to the download folder, select thesdkfolder, and click OK. In theImportwindow, click Finish to import the SDK project.

5.1) ClickXilinx Tools>Program FPGAand clickProgram. Xilinx SDK will then program the FPGA with a microblaze bit file.

6.1) Right click on thedemofolder and clickRun as>Launch on Hardware(GDB). The microblaze program will be programmed onto your Nexys Video.

This portion will help you run the demo and observe all its features.Note:In its current state, the CPU_RESET button does not function as it should. To reset the demo, reprogram your Nexys Video using Xilinx SDK.

7.1)使用led灯的开关

为this section, all the switches are tied to their corresponding led. Every time a switch is toggled, the led directly above it will toggle with it.

7.2) Setting up UART communications

To see the UART communication channel, open a terminal program on your computer set to 112500 baud rate, 8 data bits, no parity bit and 1 stop bit. On startup, the Nexys Video will transmit “Initializing Demo: DONE”, and will start displaying information periodically. This information is the FPGA temperature, VCCINT voltage, VCCAUX voltage, Ethernet status, and the video demo status.

7.3)OLEDDisplay

TheOLEDdisplay will show information similar to the UART, minus the video demo status.

7.4) HDMI video

Plugging an HDMI cord from HDMI OUT or DISPLAYPORT OUT to a monitor will show a generated video pattern shown below. If an HDMI input is plugged into HDMI IN, the video data will be passed through to the HDMI OUT and DISPLAYPORT OUT ports. A mouse can be plugged into

7.5) Ethernet Echo Server

Plugging the Nexys Video into a router via an Ethernet cable to start up an echo server on a DHCP given IP address on the router. This can be accessed using a terminal program to connect to the IP address given by the DHCP server on port 7.

7.5.1) Setting up a static IP

In the Project Explorer, expand thebist_bspfolder, then open thesystem.mssfile. In the main window, clickModify this BSP's Settings. Follow the picture below to find thelwip_dhcpsetting. Set this tofalseto disable DHCP on the device.



To set the static IP address: In the Project Explorer, navigate todemo>src>eth>eth.c. In this file, find the snippet of code that reads

This is where you can set the static IP of the echo server that will be hosted on your Nexys Video.

#if LWIP_DHCP==1 ipaddr.addr = 0; gw.addr = 0; netmask.addr = 0; #else /* initliaze IP addresses to be used */ IP4_ADDR(&ipaddr, 192, 168, 1, 100); IP4_ADDR(&netmask, 255, 255, 255, 0); IP4_ADDR(&gw, 192, 168, 0, 1);

7.6) Audio Demo

7.6.1) Recording from an input

To record from the microphone input, press btnu. To record from the line input, press btnr. Once the recording is activated, the message “Start Recording…” will be sent over UART and the demo will record 5 seconds of audio. If any buttons are pressed during the recording, the message “Still Recording…” will be sent over UART.

7.6.2) Playing to an output

To play to the microphone input, press btnd. To play to the line output, press btnl. Once the playback is activated, the message “Start Playback…” will be sent over UART and the demo will play 5 seconds of audio. If any buttons are pressed during the playback, the message “Still Playing…” will be sent over UART.
