13 years agooverflow in clocked video input (HD-SDI as input)
Hi I'm doing frame buffering for HD-SDI video (720p). The connection of several important components in my design is: SDI rx-->CVI-->SGDMA-->DDR3 My problem is that the copied data in...

13 years agoI spend several days observing the signal waveform in my design by using SignalTapII.
The SGDMA ready signal (which is one of avalon-st signal) becomes low after the first two lines. Then, the overflow in CVI happens. So I suspect whether SGDMA (st-to-mm) has written to DDR3 correctly and check the input and output signals of SGDMA. For the pixels in the first two lines, I can see their corresponding data in the writedata signals of avalon-mm interface to DDR3 controller. The pixels of the rest lines are not seen in the avalon-st interface due to the low ready signal and backpressure. So I think the write operation should work fine. Now I really don't know what makes SGDMA deassert the ready signal and causes CVI overflow. Could anyone please give me some ideas? Thanks.
