Part 3 HDMI Display Module Program Description

We provide the HDMI driver programs of ALINX Series FPGA development board. In these driver demos, the FPGA drives the output display of SiI9134 by Internally generating HDMI timing and testing data. The different resolution of testing image can be generate by modifying the output clock timing of HDMI. Press the button KEY1 to switch the testing images. The function diagram of the testing programs (Figure 3-1) as below:

Figure 3-1: The function diagram of the testing programs

Below is the brief instruction to the functions of each module used in the FPGA driver programs

1. mv_pattern.v
   This module is used to generate different testing images and HDMI Vertical/ Horizontal sync signals. It generated 7 patterns testing images, included 8-color horizontal strip, 8-color vertical bar, scrolling gradient, black and white square, all blue, color gradient, frame. The Vertical/ Horizontal sync signals of HDIM generated by the parameter defined by TOP layer, that are the timing required by HDMI.
2. ax_debounce.v
   This module is used to detect the action of press the button, detect the falling edged of button. The function of button debounce is also added in the programs.
3. i2c_config.v
   This module is used to registers the SiI9134 chip by calling the I2C communication module ， the configured register address and value are defined in the lut_9134.v file. The specific registers meaning, please refer to the instruction manual of SiI9134 chip.
4. reset_power_on.v
   This modules is used to generate a software reset to initialize others modules after power-on.

Part 4 Hardware connection and Testing

The hardware connection between the AN9134 module and FPGA development are easy. The 40-pin female headers of module plug into the expansion board of FPGA development kit, and then connect the HDMI connector to the monitor. The figure 4-1 is the expansion IOs J1 of ALINX Series FPGA development kit AX301 and the AN9134 HDMI module hardware connection as below: (if connected to the expansion IOs J2, need to re-assign the pins)

Figure 4-1: Hardware connection to ALINX Series FPGA Board

Power on the FPGA development kit, download the programs, and then the 8-color vertical bar testing image display in HDMI monitor.

Switch the testing image by press Button KEY1：

If the users to modify the output image resolution, just need to modify two places:

1. an9134_test (Modify the resolution in the top file)
   Figure 4-5: Modify the resolution in top file
2. Modify the output clock frequency of PLL， the default output clock frequency is 1080P（148.5M）, you need to modify the value marked in
   Figure 4-6. The output clock frequency of different resolution remarked in the programs.
