2.6. Hardware Setup
The HDMI PHY Intel® FPGA IP design example is HDMI 2.0b capable and performs a loop-through demonstration for a standard HDMI video stream.
To run the hardware test, connect an HDMI-enabled device such as a graphics card with HDMI interface to the HDMI RX connector on the Bitec HDMI 2.0 daughter card, which route the data to the transceiver RX block and HDMI RX.
- The HDMI sink decodes the port into a standard video stream and sends it to the clock recovery core.
- The HDMI RX core decodes the video, auxiliary, and audio data to be looped back via AXI4-stream interface to the HDMI TX core.
- The HDMI source port of the FMC daughter card transmits the image to a monitor.
- Press the cpu_resetn button once to perform system reset.
Note: If you want to use another Intel FPGA development board, you must change the device assignments and the pin assignments. The transceiver analog setting is tested for the Intel® Arria® 10 FPGA development kit and Bitec HDMI 2.0 daughter card. You may modify the settings for your own board.
