Abstract

A PC/FPGA based verification/fast prototyping platform is presented. The FPGA board is connected to the host computer through a PCI interface. The application system software running within Microsoft Windows environment is developed so that all the data generated during simulation can be downloaded and displayed on the host computer. Hence, the system acts like a logic analyzer with very large storage memory. Furthermore, the software provides interfaces and drivers for devices such as USB camera, computer monitor and PC soundcard so that the simulation data can be demonstrated over the host computer in real time. Because multimedia data is usually complicated and the size is huge, design and thorough verification are usually difficult and take lots of time. The proposed system is both versatile and convenient to use and verification of designs for multimedia applications becomes much easier. An MPEG-4 simple profile video encoder and a 3D surround sound processor are realized with the proposed system. Both cases can run in real time.

多功能基于PC/FPGA的验证/快速原型平台，具有多媒体应用

提出了一种基于PC/FPGA的验证/快速原型平台。FPGA板通过PCI接口与上位机相连。开发了在Microsoft Windows环境下运行的应用系统软件，使模拟过程中产生的所有数据都可以下载并显示在主机上。因此，该系统就像一个具有非常大的存储内存的逻辑分析仪。此外，该软件还为USB摄像头、计算机显示器和PC声卡等设备提供接口和驱动程序，使模拟数据可以在主机上实时显示。由于多媒体数据通常是复杂的，并且规模巨大，因此设计和彻底验证通常是困难的，并且需要花费大量时间。该系统具有通用性强、使用方便的特点，使多媒体应用的设计验证变得更加容易。该系统实现了MPEG-4简单视频编码器和三维环绕声处理器。这两种情况都可以实时运行。
