46.4. Video and Vision Monitor IP Registers

Each register is either read-only (RO) or read-write (RW).

Table 874.  Video and Vision Monitor IP Registers

In the software API these register names appear with a prefix of INTEL_VVP, INTEL_VVP_CORE or INTEL_VVP_SNOOP as appropriate and with an optional REG suffix

Address Register Access Description
Lite Full
Parameterization registers
0x0000 PROD_ID RO

Read this register to retrieve the Video and Vision Monitor product ID.

This register always returns 0x6AF7_0248.

0x0004 VER RO

Read this register to retrieve the IP version information.

0x0008 LITE_MODE RO

Read this register to determine if Lite mode is on.

This register returns 1 if Lite mode is on and 0 if Lite mode is off

0x000C DEBUG_ENABLED RO

This register always returns 1 as this debugging IP always has debug features on

0x0010 PIXELS_IN_PARALLEL RO Read this register to determine the number of pixels processed per clock cycle.
0x0014 to 0x011F unused

Control and debug registers

Refer to Image Information Packets in the Intel FPGA Streaming Video Protocol Specification for more details of these registers

0x0120 IMG_INFO_WIDTH RW RO

When lite mode is on, use this register to set the expected width of incoming video fields.

When lite mode is off, this register returns the width that the IP derives from information in the image information control packet.

0x0124 IMG_INFO_HEIGHT RW RO

When lite mode is on, use this register to set the expected height of incoming video fields.

When lite mode is off, this register returns the height that the IP derives from information in the image information control packet.

0x0128 IMG_INFO_INTERLACE - RO When lite mode is off, this register returns the interlace nibble that the IP derives from information in the image information control packet. Unused when lite mode is on.
0x012C Reserved - - Reserved
0x0130 IMG_INFO_COLORSPACE - RO When lite mode is off, this register returns the color space that the IP derives from information in the image information control packet. Unused when lite mode is on.
0x0134 IMG_INFO_SUBSAMPLING RW RO

When lite mode is on, use this register to set the expected subsampling of incoming video fields.

When lite mode is off, this register returns the subsampling that the IP derives from information in the image information control packet

0x0138 IMG_INFO_COSITING - RO When lite mode is off, this register returns the cositing that the IP derives from information in the image information control packet.
0x013C IMG_INFO_FIELD_COUNT - RO When lite mode is off, this register returns the field count that the IP derives from information in the image information control packet.
0x0138 to 0x013C unused
0x0140 STATUS RO

Bit 0 : Status bit.

1 = IP is processing a video field, 0 otherwise. For other bits, see Table 21

0x0144 NUM_GOOD_FIELDS RO Reports the number of fields received which matched their expected size since the counters were last reset. When lite mode is on, this count excludes any fields for which the end-of-field control packet sets its broken field flag.
0x0148 NUM_BROKEN_FIELDS RO When lite mode is on, this register reports the number of fields received since the counters were last reset for which the end-of-field control packet set its broken field flag. Unused when Lite mode is on.
0x014C NUM_MISMATCH_FIELDS RO Reports the number of fields received that do not match their expected size since the IP last reset the counters.
0x0150

LAST_NUM_LINES

RO Reports the number of lines in the last field received.
0x0154 LAST_MIN_WIDTH RO Reports the minimum width of any line received as part of the last field.
0x0158 LAST_MAX_WIDTH RO Reports the maximum width of any line received as part of the last field.
0x015C RESERVED - Reserved
0x0160 RESET_COUNTERS RW Write any value to this register to reset all debug counts to 0.
