Altera VGA 控制器和Nios II 参考设计
作者:Altera    文章来源:本站    点击数:    更新时间:2007-4-24    
Overview

This reference design demonstrates how to interface an Altera  Nios  II processor to a VGA display using a DMA-enabled VGA controller. The design contains a complete SOPC Builder-based hardware system and software that exercises the VGA controller and displays images to a VGA monitor.

Demonstrated Altera Technology
The reference design demonstrates the following Altera technology:
Nios II embedded processors
SOPC Builder
Cyclone II devices
Stratix devices
Board Support
The reference design supports two Nios II development boards:
Nios II Development Board, Cyclone II Edition
Nios II Development Board, Stratix II RoHS Edition

This design also requires the use of the Lancelot daughtercard if you wish to display to a VGA monitor. The Lancelot card features a Texas Instruments THS8134 video digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with a VGA output connector, allowing you to display directly to a monitor. The Lancelot card attaches to the prototype headers of Nios II development boards. The card is available from Microtronix at http://www.microtronix.com/product_lancelot.html(外形图,性能和电路图见下图)

Hardware Design

The hardware portion of the reference design is created in SOPC Builder. The design contains a Nios II CPU, a VGA controller peripheral, and a minimal set of components required for simple VGA display. The VGA controller peripheral is capable of displaying the following resolutions:

640 x 480
800 x 600
1024 x 768

All resolutions can be displayed in either 16- or 24-bit color.  Resolution and color depth settings are configurable in the VGA Controller configuration wizard in SOPC Builder.  

Software Design
The software portion of the design is a simple application that demonstrates how to initialize the VGA controller, and then begins writing graphics data to the VGA display. The software source includes a small graphics library capable of displaying text, lines, and simple shapes. The graphics library is demonstrated by rotating a multi-colored cube on the VGA display.

Reference Design Files

The reference design is downloadable as a ZIP file. The ZIP file contains all the necessary hardware and software files to reproduce the example, as well as a readme.txt file. The readme.txt file contains instructions for re-building and running the design.
The VGA controller SOPC Builder component is included in the VGA_Controller directory of the extracted project.  Inside the VGA_Controller directory, there is a sub-directory named doc, which contains a block diagram and documentation for the VGA Controller component.
