Checkpoint 3 - Data Path
For this checkpoint, you will need to show the saving of video data to the
SRAM.
- For the meeting with your TA, you will need show your data path
schematics in ViewDraw. This means all your control signals, data bus,
symbols for FSMs, and any tristate buffers. You can use portions of
previous lab's schematics to make up your I/O section (IOPADS, IBUFs,
etc.).
- This week's checkpoint is showing the saving of video data to the
SRAM. You will show the control signals of the SRAM and A/D and the SYNCH
signals on the oscilloscope. You will have to convince the TA that the
correct data is being written to the SRAM.
- Your Video FSM should take COMP SYNC and VSYNC as inputs and enable
the A/D output and SRAM write enable signals and increment the address
of the SRAM at the correct time for saving the pixels to the SRAM.
- You do not need to send the data from the SRAM to the PC for this
checkpoint, but you may want to work on it to get ahead. Mode 2 may be a
little difficult, so you will want to get ahead if you want the
early project checkoff.
