Honored ContributorWhat difference in cores is there between the two? Remeber the DE2-115 has a seperate example 4. Also by using quartus and nios manually i got the earlier 3 examples going which proves all those included cores work.
(Those examples being the char, pixel buffers and the combo of the two. Are you able to get the Example 4 video going. It says the video it needs must be NTSC, but i'm from Australia and all our devices are PAL format; so i can't try it. Most of the cores are have a setting for which DE2 your using. The thing i'm suss on is the config core. When you select the camera it greys out the board selection. Perhaps this matters not. But if your shy to the verilog perhaps you could do some experimentation and determine which core/s is the problem. That way we can focus on replacing that core with our own. I'm prbably going to make my own cores (long road) by changing up the verilog example, but i'm cool to help you plug the gaps for an SOPC design if i can along the way. Don't get your hopes up, i'm a noob aswell, but there is only 1 way to un-nob yourself and thats to have a go. in summary i think you should try: 1. The example 4 thats specific for the DE2-115. Confirm it works. 2. List the cores in example 1,2,3 and 4. All the cores there can be confirmed as working. 3. Compare the old DE2 example you got working with the camera and identify the cores that are different from the list you made. 4. Therefore those differing cores are the issue. 5. We can attack those cores ourselves and replace them. Meanwhile i'll be experimenting with the verilog, which will hopefully allow me to understand it and develop seperate components. Then if someone knows how to convert these to SOPC, then "TADA"; we'll have a working SOPC DE2-115 D5M camera combo.
