Table 13.  Protocol Converter IP Control and Debug RegistersIn the software API these register names appear with a prefix of INTEL_VVP, INTEL_VVP_CORE or INTEL_VVP_PROTOCOL_CONV as appropriate and with an optional REG suffix For more information, refer to Control Packets.
Address Register Access 6 Description
Not Full Full
0x0120 IMG_INFO_WIDTH RW RO

When the input protocol is Intel FPGA streaming video lite, use this register to set the expected width of incoming video fields.

When the input protocol is Intel FPGA streaming video full and you turn on Debug features, this register returns the width that the protocol converter derives from information in the image information packet. This register is unused if the input protocol is Avalon streaming video.

0x0124 IMG_INFO_HEIGHT RW RO

When the input protocol is Intel FPGA streaming video lite, use this register to set the expected height of incoming video fields.

When the input protocol is Intel FPGA streaming video full and you turn on Debug features, this register returns the height that the protocol converter derives from information in the image information packet. This register is unused if the input protocol is Avalon streaming video.

0x0128 IMG_INFO_INTERLACE RW RO

When the input protocol is Intel FPGA streaming video lite, use this register to set the expected interlacing of incoming video fields.

When the input protocol is Intel FPGA streaming video full and you turn on Debug features, this register returns the interlace code that the protocol converter derives from information in the image information packet. This register is unused if the input protocol is Avalon streaming video.

0x012C Reserved - - Reserved.
0x0130 IMG_INFO_COLORSPACE RW RO

When the input protocol is Intel FPGA streaming video lite or Avalon streaming video, use this register to set the expected color space of incoming video fields.

When the input protocol is Intel FPGA streaming video full and you turn on Debug features, this register returns the color space that the protocol converter derives from information in the image information packet.

0x0134 IMG_INFO_SUBSAMPLING RW RO

When the input protocol is Intel FPGA streaming video lite or Avalon streaming video, use this register to set the expected chroma sampling of incoming video fields.

When the input protocol is Intel FPGA streaming video full and you turn on Debug features, this register returns the chroma sampling that the protocol converter derives from information in the image information packet.

0x0138 IMG_INFO_COSITING RW RO

When the input protocol is Intel FPGA streaming video lite or Avalon streaming video, use this register to set the expected co-siting of incoming video fields.

When the input protocol is Intel FPGA streaming video full and you turn on Debug features, this register returns the cositing that the protocol converter derives from information in the image information packet.

0x013C IMG_INFO_FIELD_COUNT - RO When the input protocol is Intel FPGA streaming video full and you turn on Debug features, this register returns the field count that the protocol converter derives from information in the image information packet. Unused if the input protocol is Avalon streaming video or Intel FPGA streaming video lite.
0x0140 STATUS RO The value you read from this register indicates the processing status of the IP.
0x0144 FIELD_COUNT RO Only used if the output protocol is Intel FPGA streaming video full. A read to this register returns the value of the internal field count, which increments after each output field. The IP uses it to populate the field count values in the output image info and end of frame packets.
0x0148 VIP_WIDTH RO If you select Avalon Streaming Video, for Input protocol variant, a read to this register returns the frame width in the most recently received control packet. The width that the IP reports is a literal decode of the information in the control packet. If the data the IP processes is 4:2:0 chroma sampled, the width that the IP reports is half the actual frame or frame width.
0x014C VIP_HEIGHT RO If you select Avalon Streaming Video for Input protocol variant, a read to this register returns the frame height specified in the most recently received control packet.
0x0150 VIP_INTERLACE RO If you select Avalon Streaming Video for Input protocol variant, a read to this register returns the interlace nibble specified in the most recently received control packet.
0x0154 CTRL RW Writes to this register instruct the IP to start processing video frames, or to stop processing at the next frame boundary. Write a 1 to bit[0] of this register to start the IP. Write a 0 to bit[0] to stop at the next frame boundary. If the IP is already at a frame boundary or is between frames when the write to stop occurs, it stops immediately and does not begin the next frame. The value of this register resets to 0, so if the av_mm_control_agent interface is turned on, the IP resets into the stopped state and you must write a 1 to bit[0] to begin processing.
0x0158 FIELD_COUNT_RESET RW Any write to this register resets the value of the internal field count to zero. The value you write is unimportant. Only if the output protocol is Intel FPGA streaming video full.
0x015C Reserved - Reserved.

Table 25.  STATUS
Name Bits Description
Status bit 0

This bit indicates the IP is currently processing a frame. A value of 1 indicates that the IP is busy processing, a value of 0 indicates that it is idle.

When the input uses the Intel FPGA streaming video lite protocol, the interpretation of bit 0 depends on if you turn on Enable low latency mode. If you turn on Enable low latency mode, the IP sets bit 0 to 1 when it receives the first pixel of the frame and sets it to 0 when it receives the number of lines specified in register map (address 0x124). The IP holds bit 0 at 0 while it flushes any additional lines. If you do not turn on Enable low latency mode, the IP sets bit 0 to 1 at the start of the first frame received and it remains high until you reset the IP.

When the input uses the Intel FPGA streaming video full protocol or Avalon streaming video, the end of a frame sequence is clearly marked by the protocol and bit 0 of the status can be deasserted between frames

Pending register updates bit 1 This bit indicates if the IP has fully processed at least one frame since the last reset. A 1 indicates that the IP has processed at least one, a 0 indicates that the IP has processed no frames.
unused 2 This bit indicates if the last frame the IP receives has the expected number of pixels. A 0 indicates that the frame matched the expected width and height. A 1 indicates that the frame had too many or too few pixels according to these settings.

The function of each of these registers and the access permission, varies depending on which protocol you select for the input interface. The registers are read only (RO) if the input interface is Intel FPGA streaming video full, and RW if the input interface is either Intel FPGA streaming video lite or Avalon streaming video. If the registers are RW, they are only readable if you turn on Debug features parameter.
