9. HDMI Simulation Example

The HDMI simulation example evaluates the functionality of the GTS HDMI IP and provides a starting point for you to create your own simulation.
This simulation example targets the Questa simulator. The simulation covers the following IP features:
  • IEC-60958 audio format
  • Standard H/V/DE/RGB input video format
  • Support for HDMI 2.0b scrambled operation
Note: This simulation flow applies only for the Quartus® Prime Standard Edition software using Questa simulator. For the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition simulation flow, refer to the respective design example user guides.
Figure 46. HDMI Testbench

The Test Pattern Generator (TPG) provides the video stimulus. The IP stimulates the HDMI TX using an audio packet generator and aux packet generator. The output from the HDMI TX drives the HDMI RX

The IP requires a memory-mapped host stimulus to operate the testbench for HDMI 2.0b scrambling. This stimulus implements the activity normally seen across the I2C DDC channel. At this point, the IP asserts the scramble enable bit in the SCDC registers.

The testbench implements CRC checking on the input and output video. The testbench checks the CRC value of the transmitted data against the CRC calculated in the received video data. The testbench performs the checking after detecting 4 stable V-SYNC signals from the receiver.

The aux sample generator generates a fixed data to be transmitted from the transmitter. On the receiver side, the checker compares whether the expected aux data is received and decoded correctly.

The audio sample generator generates an incrementing test data pattern to be transmitted through the audio channel. On the receiver side, the audio data checker checks and compares whether the incrementing test data pattern is received and decoded correctly.
