-//*The -7010 variant has several differences that are shown in parenthesis above// +
- +
-==== Description ==== +
- +
-This simple VGA Demo project demonstrates usage of a Pmod VGA connected to the Zybo Z7's Pmod ports. The behavior is as follows: +
-  +
-  * A bouncing box and black, white, and multiple colors of bars are displayed on a connected VGA monitor. +
-  * The Pmod VGA is controlled by the Zybo Z7 through Pmod ports JB and JC. +
-  * The screen resolution is configurable through HDL code. +
- +
------ +
-===== Prerequisites ===== +
- +
-===Hardware=== +
-  * **Zybo Z7 Zynq board** +
-  * **Pmod VGA** +
-  * **Micro-USB cable** +
-  * **VGA monitor and cable** +
- +
-===Software=== +
-  * **Vivado Design Suite 2016.4**  +
-    * //Newer versions can be used, but the procedure may vary slightly// +

- +
-===== Download and Launch the Zybo Z7 Pmod VGA Demo ===== +
- +
->1) Follow the [[:learn:programmable-logic:tutorials:github-demos:start|Using Digilent Github Demo Projects]] Tutorial. This is an HDL design project, and as such does not support Vivado SDK, select the tutorial options appropriate for a Vivado-only design. Return to this guide when prompted to check for additional hardware requirements and setup. +
- +
->2) Once you have generated your bit file, make sure that you have your Pmod VGA plugged into your Zybo Z7's Pmod ports JC and JD. Use a VGA cable to connect the Pmod VGA to your monitor's VGA port. Return to the Github Projects Tutorial to finish programming your board. +
- +
-===== Using the Zybo Z7 Pmod VGA Demo ===== +
- +
-==== 1. View Results ==== +
- +
->The VGA monitor will display a set of colored, black, and white bars, along with a moving box, as shown below. You may need to adjust the settings of your monitor to properly align the demo image. +

- +
-==== 2. Changing the resolution ==== +
- +
->You may want to change the display resolution if your VGA monitor does not support 1080p, or you want to modify the demo for a specific application. +
-> +
->To select a different display resolution, select the appropriate set of Sync Generation constants for your target resolution from the list starting at line 47 of **top.vhd**. Uncomment the ten corresponding constants, **FRAME_WIDTH** through **V_POL**, and comment the default versions of those same constants. The default resolution is 1920x1080 @ 60Hz. +
-> +
->Next select **Project Manager** in the Flow Navigator. In the **Hierarchy** tab of the Sources box, expand **top.vhd** under Design Sources and double click on **clk_div_inst**. Change the clk_out1 Requested frequency - circled in red below - to the required pxl_clk frequency specified in the selected resolution's Sync Generation comment block. Select **Ok**, then **Generate** in the Generate Output Products dialog that pops up. Once the bitstream has been generated, reprogram your board with the new hardware. +
