Hi,
I would like to pass an image straight to the shared (locked) memory via the 'shared memory write', read the processed image back from shared (locked) memory via 'shared memory read' and display the processed image on the host PC. I am able to compile, run and co-simulate with hardware the hardware_cosim real time video processing demo conv5x5_video as described in system generator user guide on page 272. I have installed Sysgen 13.3 with Matlab 2011a on Windows 7 PC.
I am trying to use the conv5x5_video_ex block as it is and would like to use only an image to be sent to the block for processing. Video is made from images and the block process them an image at a time so I kept this block as it is, without any modification.
I I have tried modifying the conv5x5_video_testbench.mdl. I removed the reference to the default preload function and wrote a new matlab function to create image array. I tried passing an image of 128x128 size converted to a 16384 byte array in matlab and then feeding it to the 'from workspace' block. I changed the property of the 'from workspace' block from 'cyclic repetition' to 'setting to zero'. I also limited the simulation time according to the image size instead of being infinite. I connected the testbench to the generated conv5x5_video_ex block. I also set the priority correctly.
The errors that I got
An internal error occurred in the Xilinx Blockset Library.
or
the System Generator hierarchy error.
