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).
This week was mostly worked on improving the speed of the JPEG decoder so that it better meets timing. I’ve included a copy of the SystemVerilog file for this. Previously, the design ran at about 100MHz, but with a better pipeline (8 stage pipeline to process 8 pixels of the MCU), I’m able to increase the throughput by a factor of 16. I’m able to better utilize the resource of the FPGA to process more pixels per clock and also increase the clock speed up to around 200MHz. This should make it more possible to handle the effective 120FPS requirement from the input streams.
Is your progress on schedule or behind? If you are behind, what actions will be
taken 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?
I plan on integrating this design more into the current pipeline. Right now the JPEG processor stands along but I need to incorporate the SPI interface to it as well as appropriately pass it to BRAM so that the display can view the image.
