In this section, you are going to learn more about the V4L2 FPGA and its main features. When you finish this section you are going to have a general knowledge about this project's key features, and the supported modules.

  • Overview section explains the project general structure and technologies.
  • Frame Grabber section explains how to use the FPGA as a frame grabber capable of consuming video content from an external source, process them through hardware-described accelerators, and finally, provide them to the system for further processing.
  • Sink section explains how to use the FPGA as a sink element capable of consuming video frames from your system. Some examples are accelerated video decoding and display with custom screens.
  • Filter section explains the advantages of implementing image/video filter accelerators on the FPGA. This feature can be used to process video content in any required way and return it back to the system for further processing.
  • Budget Estimator section contains an estimator of the framerate.
