V4L2 FPGA - Introduction

On this section, you are going to learn about the V4L2 PCIe and the modules it has to offer. When you finish this section you are going to have a general knowledge about this project's key features, and the modules to be developed.

• Overview section explains the project general structure and the technologies to be used.
• Frame Grabber section explains how to use the FPGA as a frame grabber capable of consuming video content from an external source, process them in an accelerated way 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.
• Filter section explains the advantages of using the FPGA as an accelerated filter that can be used to process data in any required way and return it back to the system for further processing.
