Description
The Nexys4DDR gets PDM data from the built-in microphone, then digitally filters data for decimation and resolution (16 bit, 48KSPS). Then reverberates the audio data and outputs it to the built-in Audio Out, stores a frame of 1024 samples and shows it on a VGA display (640×480, 60Hz). then the demo computes the Fast Fournier Transform (FFT) of the stored data (512 bins x 46.875 Hz = 0…24KHz). The demo shows the first 80 FFT bins on the VGA display (80 bins x 46.875 Hz = 0…3.75KHz) and displays the first 30 FFT bins on an WS2812 LED string (30 bins x 46.875 Hz = 0…1.4KHz),
Prerequisites
Skills
- Basic familiarity with Vivado
- This experience can be found by walking through our “Getting Started with Vivado” guide
Hardware
- Nexys 4 DDR FPGA board
- Micro-USB cable
- A 30 led strip of WS2812 LEDs (Not required for VGA operation)
- Monitor with a VGA cable (Not required for WS2812 operation)
Software
- Vivado Design Suite 2015.X
- Newer/older versions can be used, but the procedure may vary slightly
Downloads
Spectral Sources Demo – ZIP
How to...
1. Generate the Project
1.1) Download the zip file linked in the download section and unzip it in the location of your choosing.
1.2) Generate the Nexys4DDRSectralSources project in the “proj” folder by following this guide before continuing: How to Generate a Project from Digilent's Github
2. Build the Project
2.1) Click Generate Bitstream on the left hand menu towards the bottom. Vivado will run through both Run Synthesis and Run Implementation before it generates the bitstream automatically.
Note: If you want, you can click each step by itself in the order of Run Synthesis, Run Implementation and then Generate Bitstream.
3. Program the Board
3.2) Click program to load the project onto your Nexys4-DDR.
4. Run the Project
This portion will help you run the demo and observe all its features.
