Features
The following features are common to all of the Video and Image Processing Suite
MegaCore functions:
■ Common Avalon
®
Streaming (Avalon-ST) interface and Avalon-ST Video protocol
■ Avalon Memory-Mapped (Avalon-MM) interfaces for run-time control input and
connections to external memory blocks
■ Easy-to-use parameter editor for parameterization and hardware generation
■ IP functional simulation models for use in Altera-supported VHDL and Verilog
HDL simulators
■ Support for OpenCore Plus evaluation
■ Qsys ready
■ Extensively tested and verified using comprehensive regression tests to ensure
quality and correctness
Stall Behavior and Error Recovery
The Video and Image Processing Suite MegaCore functions do not continuously
process data. Instead, they use flow-controlled Avalon-ST interfaces, which allow
them to stall the data while they perform internal calculations.
