Varun’s Status Report for 3/9

What did you personally accomplish this week on the project? Give files or photos that demonstrate your progress. Prove to the reader that you put sufficient effort into the project over the course of the week (12+ hours).

I worked on quite a lot of the work required for the FPGA. My main accomplishments this week are I wrote some code to interface with the HDMI driver. I did some code modifications to the HDMI driver. Some of the issues I faced with the previous implementation was the display was a little finnicky. I was able to fix this by implementing something called Reduced Blanking in the HDMI driver. This meant that I was able to decrease the clock speed of the HDMI IP by about 15% which meant that it was more easily able to meet timing. The previous design was actually failing timing.

Is your progress on schedule or behind? If you are behind, what actions will betaken to catch up to the project schedule?

As of right now, I am on schedule so I’m not worried about my progress.

What deliverables do you hope to complete in the next week?

Next week I plan on working on the run length decoder and redoing the SPI peripheral to work with the ESP32 properly. The JPEG decoding is on the backburner as the finalized implementation is being coded.
