Goals for week:
- Implement and integrate BRAM and VGA display
Progress:
- Implemented BRAM and VGA separately, displaying black and white pixels on the external monitor
- Testing implementation of reading data from BRAM for each cell, which encompasses multiple pixels
- Began implementation of creating frame around 90 degree rotation of fractal slice
Current Challenge:
- I had a little bit of trouble assigning each calculated cell saved in BRAM to all of the pixels that represent it on the VGA display. I’m writing the test program for this currently, but I am hopeful that once this is complete, it will translate easily to choosing a slice of the fractal and turning it by 90 degrees on the display.
Plans for next week:
- Complete all implementation of the BRAM and VGA including the 90 degree rotation display
- Begin integration of the BRAM with Danny’s calculations
- Start implementation of the top interface
