line_write_irq | 1 | The IP sets the line_write_irq bit of the IRQ_STATUS register if the interrupt fires. Write to the line_write_irq bit of the IRQ_STATUS register to clear down the interrupt |
Name | Bits | Description |
width | 16:0 | The field width that the writer IP uses when writing to memory. If Lite mode is on, this register is RW. Write the expected width in pixels of incoming fields. If Lite mode is off, if debug features are on, this register is RO and contains the field width received via the image information packet. The IP removes extra pixels from received fields wider than IMG_INFO_WIDTH. The IP writes narrower fields leaving pixels from any previous fields in the buffer unmodified. After any changes to this register write to the COMMIT register, which takes effect at the next start of field. |
Name | Bits | Description |
height | 16:0 | The field height that the writer uses when writing to memory. If Lite mode is on, this register is RW. Write the expected height in lines of incoming fields. If Lite mode is off, if debug features are on, this register is RO and contains the field height received via the image information packet. The IP removes extra lines from fields received that are taller than IMG_INFO_HEIGHT. Shorter fields leave pixels from any previous fields in the buffer unmodified. After any changes to this register write to the COMMIT register, which takes effect at the next start of field. |
Name | Bits | Description |
interlace | 3:0 | If Lite mode is on, the IP stores interlaced fields in the same way as progressive frames by the frame writer, so you do not need to set this nibble. If Lite mode is off, if debug features are on, this register is RO and contains the interlaced nibble received via the image information packet. |
Name | Bits | Description |
colspace | 6:0 | Unused If Lite mode is on. If Lite mode is off, if debug features are on, this register is RO and contains the colorspace received via the image information packet. |
Name | Bits | Description |
subsampling | 1:0 | Unused If Lite mode is on. If Lite mode is off, if debug features are on, this register is RO and contains the subsampling received via the image information packet. |
Name | Bits | Description |
co-siting | 1:0 | Unused If Lite mode is on. If Lite mode is off, if debug features are on, this register is RO and contains the cositing received via the image information packet. |
Name | Bits | Description |
field_count | 5:0 | Unused If Lite mode is on. If Lite mode is off, if debug features are on, this register is RO and contains the field_count received via the image information packet. |
Name | Bit | Description |
Status | 0 | Read this register to determine the status of the frame writer. The IP sets the status bit if the write is currently writing a frame, and returns to 0 in between frames. |
Pending run-time control | 1 | Read this register to determine if the IP has any pending register writes to commit. This bit goes high when a write occurs to one of the control registers and returns low at the end of the current frame after a write to the COMMIT register. If the frame writer is idle, this bit goes low directly after a write to the COMMIT register. |
Name | Bit | Description |
Buffer available | 0 | After you write a field, the IP sets this bit and sets the BUFFER_START_ADDRESS, BUFFER_FIELD_WIDTH, BUFFER_FIELD_HEIGHT and BUFFER_F1_FLAG registers. Clear the BUFFER_AVAILABLE bit by writing to the BUFFER_ACKNOWLEDGE register. The IP does not update BUFFER_START_ADDRESS, BUFFER_FIELD_WIDTH, BUFFER_FIELD_HEIGHT and BUFFER_F1_FLAG registers until you clear BUFFER_AVAILABLE. For a steady video input, software has the duration of one field (typically around 5-20 ms) to read the buffers and clear BUFFER_AVAILABLE before you lose any buffer information. |
Name | Bits | Description |
Write count | 31:0 | Increments with each buffer the IP writes and resets with a write to the COMMIT register. If you set the OVERWRITE_BROKEN register, this counter does not increment for fields that the IP writes but subsequently overwrites. |
Name | Bit | Description |
Start address | 31:0 | Provides the start address of the most recently written buffer. The IP writes the first buffer to the address you specify with BUFFER_BASE. |
Name | Bit | Description |
F1 flag | 0 | If Lite mode is on, this bit provides the state of TUSER[1] for the most recently written buffer. The IP set this bit when it writes to interlaced F1 fields. If Lite mode is off, the IP sets this to the binary AND of IntlaceNibble bits 3 and 2 from the image information packet. |
Name | Bit | Description |
Field width | 31:0 | If Lite mode is on, the IP returns the current value in IMG_INFO_WIDTH. If Lite mode is off, the IP sets these bits to the width in the image information packet. |
Name | Bit | Description |
Field height | 31:0 | If Lite mode is on, the IP returns the current value in IMG_INFO_HEIGHT. If Lite mode is off, the IP sets these bits to the height in the image information packet. |
Name | Bit | Description |
Field count | 15:0 | If Lite mode is on this returns 0. If Lite mode is off, the IP takes the value from the end of field packet of the most recently written buffer. |
Name | Bit | Description |
Commit | 0 | Write any value to the COMMIT register to commit new RW register values and request an update to the new settings. The frame buffer updates to the new RW register settings at the next start of field. The IP starts operating according to the new settings when you write the current. The IP lowers the pending_rtc bit in the status register at this time. The BUFFER_ACKNOWLEDGE register is the only register that does not need to be followed by a write to commit. |
Name | Bit | Description |
Acknowledge | 0 | Write to the acknowledge bit to reset the BUFFER_AVAILABLE register. You don't need to follow a write to the BUFFER_ACKNOWLEDGE register with a write to the COMMIT register for it to take effect. |
Name | Bits | Description |
Run | 0 | Set the run bit to start the IP writing fields. Clear the run bit to stop the IP writing at the end of the current field. |
Single shot | 1 | Set the single shot bit to configure single shot mode. The frame writer writes buffers until it reaches NUM_BUFFERS buffers and then switches to consume mode. The IP sets BUFFER_AVAILABLE register after the first field write completes. To perform another single-shot write, clear BUFFER_AVAILABLE by writing to BUFFER_ACKNOWLEDGE. BUFFER_AVAILABLE. If this bit is clear, the IP operates in continuous free-running mode and after it reaches NUM_BUFFERS buffers, writing continues, starting at BUFFER_BASE again. Use this mode with NUM_BUFFERS set to 1, or a small value. After any changes to this register write to the COMMIT register, which take effect at the next start of field |
Name | Bits | Description |
Num_buffers | 23:0 | The number of buffers. When all buffers are full, the frame writer wraps around and begins writing to BUFFER_BASE again unless you set the single shot bit of the RUN register is set. After any changes to this register write to the COMMIT register, which take effect at the next start of field |
Name | Bit | Description |
Buffer_base | 31:0 | Frame writing resets to the buffer_base address whenever you commit a write to the RUN register. After any changes to this register write to the COMMIT register, which take effect at the next start of field |
Name | Bits | Description |
Inter-buffer offset | 31:0 | Interbuffer address increment. To prevent fields overwriting one another in memory, you must set this so that the spacing between buffers is greater than the size of individual fields in memory. Interbuffer offset must be word aligned After any changes to this register write to the COMMIT register, which take effect at the next start of field |
Name | Bits | Description |
Inter-line offset | 31:0 | Interline address increment. Usually set to the low byte of the next word address above bytes per pixel * IMAGE_WIDTH. To prevent lines overwriting one another in memory you must set this bit so it is equal or greater than the line width in memory. Interline offset must be word aligned. After any changes to this register write to the COMMIT register, which take effect at the next start of field |
Name | Bit | Description |
IRQ line threshold | 31:0 | Set the IRQ line threshold in combination with setting bit 1 of IRQ_CONTROL for the IP to raise an interrupt every time it writes line number IRQ_LINE_THRESHOLD for a field. |
Name | Bit | Description |
overwrite_broken | 0 | If you set the overwrite_broken bit, the IP overwrites fields received where the broken bit is set in the EOF, or where the height does not match the expected height. Also the IP does not set the BUFFER_AVAILABLE bit and other buffer information registers for that field. |
