Basic Zedboard Tutorial about HDMI

Hello everyone,
I'm a newbie in FPGA, and I need some guidance with HDMI.
My company has both Microzed and Zedboard as starter kit to develop a video processing project.

I have tried to run some tutorials about HDMI, and the only one that I could run was the u201CZedboard HDMI Display Controller Tutorialu201D (after adapting it from Vivado 2013.4 to Vivado 2014.4).
The situation is as follows:
-To visualize HDMI, I will use Zedboard. Getting advantage of the on-board ADI ADV7511 HDMI transmitter.
-I still do not have a camera to test it with real images (I will need to implement a Test Patter Generator)
-I have installed Vivado 2014.4 Version.

So, I also have try to adapt the tutorial: u201CDesigning High-Performance Video Systems with the Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC Using IP Integratoru201D, but I am not able to get a clear idea about how it has to be changed.
To begin, I would be happy if I can display a video with the Test Pattern Generator.

Does anybody has a simple project for Zedboard/Vivado 2014.4 using HDMI, in wich I can clearly understand the routing for the clock/data/control signals?

Thanks in advance, Noemi

Hi Noemi
Take a look at this post it might help, but personally I had no experience with HDMI so far.

Hi there,
Have you used the VIPP version?
Search "Zedboard HDMI Display Controller Tutorial for Vivado using Xilinx VIPP" on http://zedboard.org/support/design/1521/11
"This tutorial describes how to create a HDMI display controller for ZedBoard using the Xilinx Video Image Processing Pack (VIPP). The example software provided with the tutorial is a simple bare metal application that generates color bars."

Hi Dan,

Thanks, but it was exactly what I had done.

Now, I am working on the algorithm implementation, and I think what is done will be enough for now.

You may try the analog Devices reference design for HDMI controller
https://wiki.analog.com/resources/fpga/xilinx/kc705/adv7511
Download the design files (both hdl and no-OS Software). Use the tcl console in Vivado to enter the directory hdl/projects/adv7511/zed, then just execute "make"...after this is done, the design is ready. In Vivado , launch the SDK and create the application project according to the instructions in the above website. Notice that some step in the instruction asks for the library HDMIZynqLib.. the correct name of library for you is HDMIZedBoardLib..
You need Vivado 2014.4.1 . Notice that for updating from 2014.4 to 2014.4.1 you need the Design Edition.

Hi there,

Could we use the IP zedboard -HDMI Output (pre-Production), in other version like 2015.2.
I have implemented this IP to monitor my image from my sensor but I am afraid if it doesn't work.

kind regards
