FPGA Colors Palette Tester Version 2 by Timothy Stotts
Note that this project is deprecated. The most recent project, with wider hardware support and occasional updates, is Version 3 and is located at: fpga-colors-tester-3
A small FPGA project of Xilinx IPI-BD with Zynq-7000 APSoC implementations for testing 24-bit color palette mixing of discrete RGB LEDs versus 16-bit color palette mixing of a 96x64 OLEDrgb display's text. The design targets the Digilent Inc. Zybo-Z7-20 FPGA development board containing a Xilinx Zynq-7000 APSoC. Two peripherals are used: Digilent Inc. Pmod KYPD, Digilent Inc. Pmod OLEDrgb.
The folder Color-Tester-Design-Zynq contains a Xilinx Vivado IP Integrator plus Xilinx SDK design. The ARM hard processor is used to talk with board components, a 4x4 alphanumeric keypad, and 96x64 pixel color display, each through the FPGA fabric of the APSoC. A Xilinx SDK project contains a very small Standalone program in C; drivers for the peripherals; and a main loop to repeatedly read keypad entry and then update both discrete LEDs and display.
