10 years agoHi, DE0 SOC has no RAM on fpga fabric, I read you write VGA is running fine, is taking image from memory or from pattern generator?
Supposed all is fine are you able to fill in memory of VGA to display a pattern like lines and or color bar? If hardware is really ok then you need to prepare a cross development gcc chain to compile code on PC Host. This scenario you write, compile, transfer and debug code on target acting as an emulator. If Linux is running on FPGA enough space is available, map a network drive on FPGA linux so you can also launch XWindows from terminal and display on workstation, then all development can be done on ARM setting all library and environment on. Choose your way and prepare compilers and library too then it is just question of software. http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-arm-toolchain/ http://gnuarmeclipse.github.io/toolchain/install/ Are you confident on how to write device driver and Unix/Linux signalling?
