XAPP794 : Vivado 2013.2 not available for download

[ajaykumargurrala]

Hi,

We are using XAPP794 as base reference for one of our application. This AN is based on Vivado 2013.2. 

I have downloaded the Vivado 2013.2 ALL OS Installer (with SDK) and installed it. I am facing issues in starting the application i.e., I see errors in launching Vivado. 

As per some suggestions given in some posts, I have verified md5sum and all. It was okay. 

Unable to fix the issue, I have decided to uninstall and reinstall the split versions of the download.

Unfortunately, its no more available for download. And I do not see any updated version of XAPP794. 

Is there any solution to this other than creating everything from scratch?

Thanks and Regards,

Ajay Kumar G

Hi @ajaykumargurrala,

One question I have is:

What is the reason that you are using this older XAPP? Do you have the FMC card or is there an IP you are using this as an example for?

This may help us give you some advice.

Thanks,

Sam

Hi @samk

A part of our application involves interfacing a CMOS camera and getting the Video out of it after processing. XAPP794 met the requirements very closely and so I was interested in looking into the HW and SW implementations for the core image processing pipeline for reference. 

As suggested, I have tried installing Vivado 2013.2 in Win 7 and it worked. I could recompile the App note completely. 

Thanks and Regards,

Hi @ajaykumargurrala,

You might check out our MIPI example application. This may be an easier interface to your CMOS sensor and will also give an update example of a video pipe.

See chapter 5 of PG202

Hi @samk

This is the exactly the same pipeline which I was looking for. Thanks a lot for the right pointer.
