3rd Party/Other Boards and Kits

[joelby]

The example project uses EDK, not ISE. You'll need to have a license for EDK/SDK, and build it from there (I don't use the EDK, so I can only vaguely recall the steps).

According to the example's data sheet, "The project was designed using Xilinx EDK 13.2." You may have some trouble using it with EDK 12.1 (more so than with straight HDL), so for the least amount of hassle, you should consider using a later version. Even if you need to stick wtih 12.x, is there any reason not to use 12.4?

If you don't have a license for EDK/SDK, perhaps you could ask Digilent to send you the .bit file?

Actually, I just had a closer look at the data sheet and saw that it provides a list of steps for getting the project working. Have a look under at "Running the Demo Application".

which data sheet?

i can't find any thing.can you give me the link that you dld the datasheet.

[joelby]

Download the DSD-0000326 reference design.

Unzip it. You should see a document called HDMI_Demo_Project.pdf .

i read it.

i think i understand it.

but i have roblem i cant make .bit from the demo to compile atlys.

and i dont know which file i must use.

why it has 3 vhdl code?

where is the library?

library that use in vhdl code?

it is enough i compile 3 vhdl code in new project in ise 12.1 or not i must add another thing.

I'm afraid that I'm not sure what you're asking. Which three VHDL 'codes' are you asking about? Where is which library (and why does it need a library?)

Again, if you read the document, you'll see that it requires EDK 13.2. It is not intended for use with the ISE design flow. If you have a license for the EDK, just follow the steps in HDMI_Demo_Project.pdf. The VHDL files I pointed to you earlier are only one component of the entire design - it also relies on the MicroBlaze processor and some other peripherals.

first

i explain what am i to do

i want to read the images from the DDR2 memory and send it to hdmi output port and show it on a monitor.

my first thought was that using atlys demo

and secend was writing my self from beginning.

for demo i have a lots of problem.

and for writting my self in spartan6 vedio datasheet has image that show spartan 6 itself has encoder in itself so we need only give to it  8 bitsignal(red/blue/green/vertical sync and hsync) and then it return us 10 bit signal.

so i want use it but i dont know how should i call it.

i mean what is it's name or number?

and i want ask you another thing which  choice yourself perefre first one or secend one?

and thank you for all help

A Spartan-6 FPGA is like a huge box full of building blocks.  In order to use them, you must first pull the blocks out of the box, arrange them and connect them to suit your needs, and then connect the entire arrangement to package pins which connect to the rest of your circuit board.

so how can i puul it off?

i mean i dont know even its name?

The way I learned to design FPGAs was to start with very simple designs to first learn the tools and how to use FPGAs.

What you are trying to design is very ambitious for an untrained and inexperienced first-time designer.
