Why do I see dropped frames with my Frame Buffer II IP core when using the Frame Writer Only Mode?
Description
Workaround/Fix
Write to bit 0 of the Misc register to acknowledge the frame, as described in the “Frame Writer Only Mode” section of the user guide.
You must acknowledge every frame.
This clarification will be added to a future release of the Video and Image Processing Suite User Guide.
