FPGA

I need fpga tutorials, especially on CV. Can you recommend me any?

I could do with some of these as well. I have been working with an Alterra FPGA. It is a very interesting piece of hardware, but I have no idea what I am doing. The manuals are ok, but they only cover so much.

>>871 by CV you mean computer vision right ? >>872 theres a torrent on rutracker with a bunch of book, manulas and papers that helped me when i needed to work with this things, basically you have to know how to use verilog or vhdl, and understanding that you are 'writing' a circuit and not writing software, the rest of it is knowing how to use the tools provided by the manufacturer, be it ISE / vivado for xilinx and whatever altera uses, to configure the board and upload the binary file.

i meant computer vision, but on FPGA it's more like SoCV. Need any tutorials, docs, anything

>>886 Take a look at this book. It doesn't go into details about hdl code, but it discusses a lot of things particular to image processing in FPGAs. I highly recommend reading it as it teaches a lot of things that are not exactly obvious to the beginner. Common pitfalls are not taking into consideration that FPGAs have limitations in both size for the synthesized circuits and signal propagation in time. Also, many think initially about a massive parallel implementation when in many cases you should be thinking about stream processing of data. I can also recommend some VHDL books and material related to Xilinx FPGAs more generally, not specific to computer vision. Tell me if you need help with these. There is a chinese forum on bbs.eetop.cn that have lots of interesting material and software licenses that you might need eventually. It's worth checking out, you can use google translate to help you register, even if you know no Chinese, that's what I did.

>>889 Thank you anon, srl thank you

bump need it here for two more weeks
