12 years agoIf its a Xilinx chip, you cannot use altera quartus (Quartus only compiles for Altera devices, Xilinx is a competing company).
What you need is some mechanism to read the data out of a memory - all you need is a single stream of data. For a 3x3 convolution you will need 2 line buffers. Given you say you have to move from one frame to the next, I assume you're working on video? why do you even need to store the image, you can just process it as it passes through the FPGA. Again, just 2 line buffers required, but you dont need a frame buffer. There is no need to break the image down into any chunks, with or without a frame buffer. You just stream it out pixel by pixel and processes it as you read it.
