Hi Shahzad,

Ya thats true, the code you get with the camera is for DE2 board. You simply need to write your own VHDL code to capture frames. It is simple, just feed in the frequency you use for your system in the PIXCLK. You will start receiving the PIXELS on the output by default, that is a free running mode of the camera. If you need to use the camera to take pictures, you have to develop I2C controller and then use the interface to TRIGGER the image.

one more tip, in the free running mode, just do not worry about the rising edge and falling edges as mentioned in the manual. I did all the stuff only on the rising edge and it worked nicely.

Best regards,

Hardik
