+ | ====== Arty Z7 HDMI Output Demo ====== | ||
+ | {{learn/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | ---- | ||
+ | ===== Description ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Arty Z7 HDMI Out project demonstrates the usage of the HDMI out port on the Arty Z7 board. There are two projects, one for each variant of the board: Arty Z7-10 and Arty Z7-20. The behavior is as follows: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Frames stream out through the HDMI OUT port. | ||
+ | * A UART interface is available to configure what is output through HDMI. | ||
+ | * There are 3 display frame buffers that the user can choose to display. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ---- | ||
+ | ===== Inventory ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Arty Z7 (-10 or -20) with a MicroUSB Programming Cable | ||
+ | * Vivado and Vitis installations compatible with the latest release of this demo (2022.1) | ||
+ | * //See [[programmable-logic: | ||
+ | * Serial Terminal application to receive messages printed by the demo | ||
+ | * //See [[programmable-logic: | ||
+ | * HDMI-capable Monitor | ||
+ | * 1 HDMI Cable | ||
+ | |||

+ | ===== Download and Usage Instructions ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | First and foremost, releases - consisting of a set of files for download - are only compatible with a specific version of the Xilinx tools, as specified in the name of the release (referred to as a //release tag//). In addition, releases are only compatible with the specified variant of the board. For example, a release tagged " | ||
+ | |||
+ | The latest release version for this demo is highlighted in green. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Note:** //Releases for FPGA demos from before 2020.1 used a different git structure, and used a different release tag naming scheme.// | ||

+ | ==== HDMI Display Options ==== | ||
+ | === 1. Change Display Resolution === | ||
+ | Changes the resolution used for HDMI Output. | ||
+ | ---- | ||
+ | === 2. Change Display Framebuffer Index === | ||
+ | Changes the VDMA framebuffer used for the video output. Each framebuffer represents a different block of DDR memory which can be modified by the processor and read by the VDMA to repeatedly stream the frame out through the HDMI OUT port. | ||
+ | ---- | ||
+ | === 3/4. Print Test Pattern to Display Framebuffer === | ||
+ | Stores one of two test test patterns (blended colors or vertical color bars) into the output buffer, to be displayed immediately. Note that if video input is streaming into the same buffer, the test pattern may be immediately overwritten. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Also to note, if the resolution of the video output is later changed, the video data is cropped or padded to fit the screen. This cropping and padding does not affect the actual stored memory, as it is a result of how the VDMA indexes the framebuffer' | ||
