Signals
January 2013 Altera Corporation Video and Image Processing Suite
User Guide
1 You program the actual gamma corrected intensity values at run time using the
Avalon-MM slave interface.
Signals
Table 19–4 lists the input and output signals for the Gamma Corrector MegaCore
function.
Table 19–4. Gamma Corrector Signals
Signal Direction Description
clock
In
The main system clock. The MegaCore function operates on the rising
edge of the
clock
signal.
reset
In
The MegaCore function asynchronously resets when you assert
reset
.
You must deassert
reset
synchronously to the rising edge of the
clock
signal.
din_data
In
din
port Avalon-ST
data
bus. This bus enables the transfer of pixel data
into the MegaCore function.
din_endofpacket
In
din
port Avalon-ST
endofpacket
signal. This signal marks the end of an
Avalon-ST packet.
din_ready
Out
din
port Avalon-ST
ready
signal. This signal indicates when the
MegaCore function is ready to receive data.
din_startofpacket
In
din
port Avalon-ST
startofpacket
signal. This signal marks the start of
an Avalon-ST packet.
din_valid
In
din
port Avalon-ST
valid
signal. This signal identifies the cycles when
the port must input data.
dout_data
Out
dout
port Avalon-ST
data
bus. This bus enables the transfer of pixel data
out of the MegaCore function.
dout_endofpacket
Out
dout
port Avalon-ST
endofpacket
signal. This signal marks the end of
an Avalon-ST packet.
dout_ready
In
dout
port Avalon-ST
ready
signal. The downstream device asserts this
signal when it is able to receive data.
dout_startofpacket
Out
dout
port Avalon-ST
startofpacket
signal. This signal marks the start
of an Avalon-ST packet.
dout_valid
Out
dout
port Avalon-ST
valid
signal. This signal is asserted when the
MegaCore function outputs data.
gamma_lut_av_address
In
gamma_lut
slave port Avalon-MM
address
. Specifies a word offset into
the slave address space.
gamma_lut_av_chipselect
In
gamma_lut
slave port Avalon-MM
chipselect
signal. The
gamma_lut
port ignores all other signals unless you assert this signal.
gamma_lut_av_readdata
Out
gamma_lut
slave port Avalon-MM
readdata
bus. These output lines are
used for read transfers.
gamma_lut_av_write
In
gamma_lut
slave port Avalon-MM
write
signal. When you assert this
signal, the
gamma_lut
port accepts new data from the
writedata
bus.
gamma_lut_av_writedata
In
gamma_lut
slave port Avalon-MM
writedata
bus. These input lines are
used for write transfers.
