45.5. Video and Vision Monitor Software API

The IP includes software for run-time control. The IP does not fit any of the generic device models provided by the Nios II HAL and it exposes a set of dedicated accessors to the control and status registers. The IP driver structure inherits the base driver structure so all common methods defined in Video and Vision Processing IPs Software API are applicable.

Register definition header file: intel_vvp_snoop_regs.h

Include file: intel_vvp_snoop.h

intel_vvp_snoop_init

Prototype
int intel_vvp_snoop_init(intel_vvp_snoop_instance *instance, intel_vvp_core_base base);
Description

Initializes a Video and Vision Monitor instance. The initialization stops early if the vendor ID or product ID read at the base address are not a match or if the register map version is not supported. Otherwise, the function proceeds to read and store the IP compile-time parameterization. The instance is not fully initialized and the application should not use it further if returning a non-zero error code.

Arguments

instance - pointer to the intel_vvp_snoop_instance software driver instance structure

base - base address of the register map

Returns

kIntelVvpCoreOk (0) in case of success, a negative error code in case of error

kIntelVvpCoreVidErr if the vendor id of the core is not the IntelFPGA vendor ID (0x6AF7).

kIntelVvpCorePidErr if the product_id does not match with the Video and Vision Monitor product ID

kIntelVvpCoreInstanceErr if the instance is a null pointer

kIntelVvpSnoopRegMapVersionErr if the register map is not supported
