As I explained before, I would like to embed the User Interface App into the PS side of Zynq.
The App, actually written in Python (Matplotlib + pyQTgraph), allows to see the spectrum, the waterfall and to tune radio stations.
For this reason the EBAZ4205 should have implemented with any kind of video out.
I examined a few options.
- VNC server / X11 forwarding
- Not difficult to do in SW
- No need to change hardware
- It needs an external PC
- VGA
- It needs a simple resistive external ladder
- a bit old fashioned
- it's analogic
- It needs an external VGA display or a VGA/HDMI external adapter
- HDMI with HW converter
- It uses an external device (ADV7511 or similar) to convert the Zynq parallel output to the HDMI differential digital signals to handle the highest resolutions
- It's digital
- you can use any HDMI display / TV
- HDMI without HW converter
- It doesn't use any external device, the Zynq pins are directly connected to the HDMI port
- For the HW implementation see Digilent ZYBO schematic at page 5 and Digilent ZYBO Reference at page 21
- For a SW test see Digilent HDMI demo having also the HDMI input side that is useless to me or Video Series 23: Generate a video output on Pynq-Z2 HDMI out which outputs a test pattern to the HDMI out
- It's digital
- you can use any HDMI display / TV
