4.3.3.4. View the Results

At the end of the demonstration, you will be able to view the results on the standard HDMI sink (monitor).

To view the results of the demonstration, follow these steps:

  1. Power up the Intel FPGA board.
  2. Type the following command on the Nios II Command Shell to download the Software Object File (.sof) to the FPGA.

    nios2-configure-sof output_files/<Quartus project name>.sof

  3. Power up the standard HDMI source and sink (if you haven't done so).
    The design displays the output of your video source (PC).
    Note: If the output does not appear, press cpu_resetn to reinitialize the system or perform HPD by unplugging the cable from the standard source and plug it back again.
  4. Open the graphic card control utility (if you are using a PC as source). Using the control panel, you can switch between various video resolutions.
    The av_hdmi2 and sv_hdmi2 demonstration designs allow any video resolutions up to 4Kp60. The av_sk design allows 640×480p60, 720×480p60, 1280×720p60, 1920×1080p60, and 3840×2160p24 when you select the VIP passthrough mode (user_dipsw[0] = 0). If you select the VIP bypass mode (user_dipsw[0] = 1, the design allows any video resolutions up to 4Kp60.
