Cyclone III / Bitec Video Dev Kit

Hi

A bit more progress

To better understand how stuff works I have done the following

On a XP installation I have Nios 8.1 and Quartus II 8.1

from

http://www.bitec.ltd.uk/ciii_video_dev_kit.html

I have taken the Quad demo

http://www.bitec.ltd.uk/outgoing/bitec_hsmc_quad_video_28mar08.zip

This demo do genererate a VGA out 640x480

and you can input 4 composite video which will be scaled and you can see up to 4 live input at the output like a quad split

First I do copy all the files from the demo to C:/altera/Bitec/bitec_hsmc_quad_video

I now follow the instrucrion in the pdf file

Now it all works fine as described in the doc

I have managed to mod a bit on the position of the input to the frame buffer

and if I connect the 3 input in parrallel with some wire I do see the same video in 3 windows on the output

So instead of having the wire parrallel I now mowe to Quartus II and select open exsisting project and browse to

C:\altera\bitec\bitec_hsmc_quad_video\QuartusII_7.2\hsmc_qvideo_C120_dev_kit_mosaic_dvi.qpf file and open it

Before I try to modify anything I do a start compilation and after long time I do have some errors like
