13 years agoWhat is the resolution and bit depth of the video you want to frame buffer?
Do you want a double or triple buffer? You will almost certainly not have enough on-board memory if you have video of any significant size. For instance, to triple buffer color video at VGA resolution, you would need a minimum of 24 (bits per pixel) * 640 (columns) * 480 (rows) * 3 (buffers) = 21,600 Kbits of embedded memory, which not even the largest Cyclone V devices are supporting. You will almost certainly need an external SDRAM or SRAM in order to frame buffer your video. --- Quote Start --- I'd offer to download framebuffer demo from alterawiki.com :) --- Quote End ---
