43.5. Test Pattern Generator IP 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_tpg_regs.h

Include file: intel_vvp_tpg.h

                              location_y);
Description

Reads and returns the current display location for patterns of type kIntelVvpTpgDigitalClockPattern .

The instance must be a valid intel_vvp_tpg_instancewith debug enabled. The two points that return values must point to valid memory locations containing uint16_t variables

Arguments

instance– pointer to the intel_vvp_tpg_instance software driver instance structure

location_x, location_y– the respective location coordinate components

Returns

kIntelVvpCoreOkin case of success, negative error code otherwise.

kIntelVvpCoreInstanceErr,invalid instance (null pointer or debug disabled)

kIntelVvpCoreNullPtrErr,one or more of the uint16_t pointers are a null pointer

Arguments

instance– pointer to the intel_vvp_tpg_instance software driver instance structure

scale_factor – The scaling coefficient to apply to the digital clock size

Description

Sets the scale factor of patterns of type kIntelVvpTpgDigitalClockPattern

Returns

kIntelVvpCoreOk (0) for success, negative error code otherwise. kIntelVvpCoreInstanceErr if the instance is invalid

kIntelVvpTpgScaleFactorErr ifthe corresponding scale factor sample is greater than 11 bits

Description

Reads and returns the FPS for patterns of type kIntelVvpTpgDigitalClockPattern

The instance must be a valid intel_vvp_tpg_instancewith debug enabled. The two points that return values must point to valid memory locations containing uint16_t variables

Arguments

instance– pointer to the intel_vvp_tpg_instance software driver instance structure

scale_factor – pointer to store the scaling coefficient of the digital clock size

Returns

kIntelVvpCoreOkin case of success, negative error code otherwise.

kIntelVvpCoreInstanceErr,invalid instance (null pointer or debug disabled)

kIntelVvpCoreNullPtrErr,one or more of the uint16_t pointers are a null pointer

                                instance, uint16_t fps);
Description

Selects the FPS of patterns of type kIntelVvpTpgDigitalClockPattern . This value controls the increment of one second.

This value does not affect the output video refresh rate.

Arguments

Arguments instance– pointer to the intel_vvp_tpg_instance software driver instance structure

fps –the frames per second to determine when a second has passed

Returns

kIntelVvpCoreOk (0) for success, negative error code otherwise. kIntelVvpCoreInstanceErr if the instance is invalid

kIntelVvpTpgFpsErr if the FPS sample is out of range

Description

Commits all pending writes before starting the next output field. The instance must be valid and parameterized in full mode.

Arguments

instance – pointer to the intel_vvp_tpg_instance software driver instance structure

Returns

kIntelVvpCoreOk (0) for success, negative error code otherwise.
