LogiCORE IP Color Filter Array Interpolation (CFA) v3.0 and v4.0 - Why does the CFA fail to generate if the maximum number of columns or rows is set to larger than 1024 when using the EDK pcore in XPS?

Description

Why does the CFA fail to generate if the maximum number of columns or rows is set to larger than 1024 when using the EDK pcore in XPS?

The below is an example error message:


ERROR:HDLCompiler:410 - "axi_cfa_v4_00_a/hdl/vhdl/user_logic.vhd" Line 219: Expression has 10 elements ; expected 11

Solution

This is a known problem in the Color Filter Array Interpolation (CFA) v3.0, which has been addressed in the CFA v4.0. 

The issue is that some of the necessary parameters are not being passed properly at core generation time.

Users will need to keep the MAX Columns to less than 1024 if they are using the CFA v3.0.

To work around this limitation we recommend updating to the CFA v4.0 or later.

In the CFA v4.0, a number of new parameters were added that need to be adjusted based on the Maximum fame size.


C_COLS_WIDTH - change to log2_base(C_MAX_COLS)
C_ROWS_WIDTH - change to log2_base(C_MAX_ROWS)
