640x480x24bit display for DE2-115 board

Posts: 14,133
Here's a program that runs on the DE2-115 board and uses the SDRAM driver to buffer a 24-bit display. Because the FPGA only goes 60MHz, it needs all the SDRAM bandwidth to feed the display, so a cog writes the buffer, then leaves it alone for display. The last section of code is the one that plots the pixels into the SDRAM. It uses QARCTAN to determine what color the pixel should be, based on its location:
I'd put a picture of it up, but my camera's batteries are dead.

The driver scans a list for commands. Commands take two longs and are structured as hub_address + sdram_address. To have
the driver perform a read or write operation on the SDRAM, first set the sdram_address (2nd long) and then the hub_address
(1st long). The driver will set each hub_address long to skip_done (0) when its associated operation has completed.
Before starting the driver, build the command list structure with pairs of 0's, then terminate it with an 8. When launching
the driver into a cog, point the parameter (S) to the start of the command list.
Command list (longs):
hub_address (skip_done/rw_xxxx)
sdram_address
hub_address (skip_done/rw_xxxx)
sdram_address
hub_address (skip_done/rw_xxxx)
sdram_address

Comments
Maybe someone can take a screen shot.
I guess you're saying that at 180 MHz clock there'd be time during refresh or something to update SRAM?
No chance of changing SRAM during active display time right? Or, is there?
Could the DE0 show color bars or something in this mode?
Woops! Never mind that .BIN file. I meant to load the .SPIN file there. I'll just delete the .BIN and you can copy and paste that source code into PNUT to run it.
There's no time at 60MHz to update the display, but at 180MHz, you could write it twice over for every display period.
The VGA demo I made a while ago does color bars, but has no need for all-points-addressable graphics, so it runs on the DE0.
Thanks for posting that pic.
Tonight I'll reduce the resolution to 320x240 so that I can potentially write the bitmap 3x over per display period. Then, I'll have the graphics cog animate the colors and patterns.
I was surprised I was able to get such rich analog-looking effects using a few CORDIC functions. Potatohead, Pedward, Sapieha, all you with DE2-115's, have you run this program and played around with the code that draws the image? Having transcendental functions in hardware makes wild things possible.
You could always send me one, I'm at my limit of what I can develop in one COG, since I've been hitting a lot of cycle limits on what I've been tinkering with. I'll post my color TTY text driver in a moment and give some details on what I learned.
I have started and look --- But not played with it.
My Basic eat up all my time.
SDRAM_Graphics6.spin
It renders 26 frames into SDRAM which takes ~20 seconds before you get a stable image. It uses almost all of the 32MB SDRAM.
I don't remember where I put it and I'm not in the office right now, so I'm unable to repost it. I'll post it to a sticky thread later today.
I have:
69f9b0e3a64744c08723feef212d7349 ./PNut.exe
69f9b0e3a64744c08723feef212d7349 ./tty/PNut.exe

69f9b0e3a64744c08723feef212d7349 ./baggers/JB_Sprites_DE0/PNut.exe
That's the MD5 sum of the file.
I think You look on that instruction.
000011 ZCN 1 CCCC nnnnnnnnn 010100000 | NOPX | D/#n | Repeat the NOP instruction the value in register D(0-511) | or n(0-511) times. (Time delay)PNut I have compile that.
PNut_20121221.zip
As soon as I know which is the latest, I will update the sticky with a link to it.
However it doesn't support NOPX, which is supposed to be the same instruction.

Sorry for the bad quality, my camera refuses to autofocus on the LCD screen
I finally had time to re-flash my de2...
Your demo is amazing!
I think I'll have some time tomorrow to start on some high resolution SDRAM drivers
