Content preview from Design Recipes for FPGAs: Using Verilog and VHDL

The key performance aspect of this system is in the three inter-

faces:

1. Camera ⇔ FPGA

2. 1FPGA ⇔ PC/Hard disk drive (HDD)

3. FPGA ⇔ RAM

If we consider the basic camera performance criteria, we have four

issues to consider:

1. Resolution

2. Frame rate

3. Color specification

4. Clip size

In this example, the resolution is defined as being 640480 pixels,

the color mode is 24-bit color (38 bit planes), the maximum frame

rate is 100 s and finally the basic clip size is anything up to 10 s.

What is not shown in the overview figure above is the require-

ment for some basic control options (such as ‘play’, ‘record’,

‘store’) to allow the stored clips to be repla ...

Julian F.

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
