Image Processing with DE2 and TRDB_DC2

[chrisab508]

Hey guys,
So I'm using the DE2 along with the TRDB_DC2 camera module. What I want to accomplish is to capture an image from the camera module, process it in bitmap format and (eventually) store it to an SD card (but that's another discussion). I'm have the interface software that comes with the camera module, but I'm not too sure where to go from there. From what I see the SDRAM is pretty hard to work with, so I was thinking about somehow storing the captured data from the camera module to the SRAM and making it a bitmap from there. Problem is, I'm not really sure how to do either of those. I understand everything that the bitmap file format needs, but I really don't know a good approach for this using the FPGA and vhdl.

Any help would be appreciated,

Hi Chrisab508,

Maybe it's a good idea to start with something more simple? External RAM memories are quite complex in VHDL.

If I were you, I would start with an introduction to VHDL. They can be found on the internet.
