We r using cyclone III EP3C120F780C7 . Through DVI daughter card we want to send images to the board for processing and after that will retrieve those images again on the pc Please tell us it is possible for us to send single image through dvi to the board and if it is possible then what would be the source through we could send image We r going to use hyperspectral image

Sending a single image via DVI would be possible, but it would easier to just have a video that contains a still image. You question is rather vague. I suggest you form a more specific question.

we have separate camera module which will going to capture images and store on the COMPUTER . After that our job is to take those images give it to the board for processing . For that we r using DVI daughter card. It has TR and RV end. My question is what would be the source through we can send images. Tell me whether if we could use computer as source for inputing images or else we require other sources such as cd or dvd player

If you're capturing on the PC, why are you sending them to the card via DVI? why not just via some data protocol? WHy not just have th DVI connectect directly to the daughter card?

we are not capturing image over pc, we will be capturing image on hyperspectral camera and that image we want to send it over dvi,so how can i do it .?is there any software so we can use pc's dvi to send images

--- Quote Start --- we will be capturing image on hyperspectral camera and that image we want to send it over dvi,so how can i do it .? --- Quote End --- Probably the easiest way would be to connect the hyperspectral camera DVI output directly to the FPGA card DVI input and to not involve the PC at all in this process. Interfacing the PC DVI output to the FPGA in a non-standard way (bypassing the operating system graphical user interface) is honestly more of a PC software question than an Altera FPGA question and you might have better luck researching that approach on a PC graphics card centric forum.

As Tricky said, the relatively simple task of getting your image into the FPGA so it can process it is being complicated by your choice of trying to use DVI for something which it was not intended.
Sure, you can probably eventually get something working.

But I really think you would be better off taking Tricky's advice and use some other interface (USB, JTAG, RS232, Ethernet, PCIe, .... ) which already has the necessary support on the PC side to accomplish your task.

Good luck!

It is possible to get image into the board using jtag? yeah, is it. Beacause board has one embedded usbjtag and external jtag header

There are other methods, but one common approach with JTAG is to add the JTAG Avalon-MM Master component and connect it to your memory. Then use a TCL script via System Console to copy the image data from your PC hard drive to the memory in your FPGA.

so we r using dual channel ddr2 ram as memory.The system console would be the nios ii soft system console, is it?

The program name is "system-console" or maybe "system-console.exe" You can launch it from Eclipse on the "Nios II" menu -> "System Console", or you can launch it manually from the command prompt or any shell script you might write.

The debugging handbook and training video are worthwhile:

Sir, please tell us where and how we can see and display the image stored in memory??? will it display on nios ii console or system console terminal window???

You can use the system-console to dump the memory that contains the image. You can transfer the processed image back to the PC and display it there.
