SOPC Builder Avalon-ST Adapter Does Not Support Avalon-ST Video

Description

In SOPC Builder, the Avalon-ST data adapter does not support the Avalon-ST Video protocol. No error message is currently displayed when connecting the components.

This issue affects SOPC Builder configurations that connect an Avalon-ST adapter to a Video and Image Processing MegaCore function.

Connecting any of the Video and Image Processing Suite MegaCore functions to an Avalon ST data adapter results in a generated system in which the Avalon-ST video protocol is corrupted.

Resolution

To connect Video and Image Processing MegaCore functions that have a different number of planes in parallel, use the Color Plane Sequencer. For example: to convert between 3 colors in parallel (3 symbols per beat) and 3 colors in sequence (1 symbol per beat).

You cannot connect unsupported Avalon-ST adapters in a future version of SOPC Builder and the Video and Image Processing Suite.
