I2C-to-SPI-to-UART Bridge on FPGA

The project involved building an embedded system which capable of efficient protocol converting. The system is based on the Zedboard and consists of two main aspects: Hardware: Intellectual property (IP) core implementation for each of SPI, I2C and UART protocols. A General Purpose I\O (GPIO) and an Interrupt controller are also implemented through IP. AXI interface is established...

Mutex Components on FPGA

The Mutex-mutual exclusion block is a basic block in asynchronous design that receives requests from two sources to use the same resource. If the two sources request to use the same resource at the same time this is a race that may cause metastablilty. The project suggests a test environment to check the functionality of Mutex on FPGA in case of metastability.

GPS tester

Operational navigation systems are prone to faults and distortions to their navigational creditability due to interference and disruption to their received PPS (Pulse-Per-Second) signal. This project aspires to create a robust PPS simulation tool in order to enable a reliable test environment for those systems at early development stages.

Real Time Motion Detection and Display System

In many situations there is a need for detecting motion such as IOT smart homes and surveillance systems. A standalone system is developed which will be able to detect and alert if there is a motion in an observed area. If motion was detected, the image is been sent to a display processor using TCP-IP connection which controls a large led display with 128*256 pixels resolution

Video manipulation algorithm on ZYNQ

Perform complex video processing by hardware, software and both with embedded system. The embedded system is based on the ZYNQ component of Xillinx and FMC module.

Video manipulator (based on Zed Board)

The ZED-board has an RGB output port. This port must be driven from logic in the reconfigurable logic portion of the FPGA. Aims is, to create a frame-buffer in memory, to be filled with data by a program running on an ARM, read its content via AIX DMA (Direct Memory Access) and send it to the logic to be created in VHDL for display on a RGB display.
