SDSoC Platform

SDSoC Demo Examples

SDSoC platform includes 21 demo projects demonstrating optimization techniques for Standalone and Linux targets with HW acceleration or in SW for fast compilation and debug. These projects have been downloaded and installed into the SDSoC platform from https://github.com/Xilinx/SDSoC_Examples

There are 3 larger Linux demo projects demonstrating video processing with data I/O from file to file. Source code of these projects have been installed into this platform from the Xilinx SDSoC 2016.4 release:

  • file_io_manr_sobel
  • file_io_optical
  • file_io_sbm

These larger Linux demo projects demonstrate video processing with data I/O from file to file. Source code of these projects have been installed into this platform from demos present in the Xilinx SDSoC 2016.4 release.

Compilation steps in the SDSoC 2017.1 is identical to above described examples. File I/O demos support only the Linux target.

These three files use as an input larger video files. These files have to be present on the SD card as an input. Algorithms write output file to the SD card. These files can be visualized by YUV Player Deluxe and other players. To reduce size of the project, the video data files are not included.

Video input files can be found in the Xilinx SDSoC 2016.4 distribution:

  • <xilinx install path>\SDx\2016.4\samples\file_io_manr_sobel\input.yuv
  • <xilinx install path>\SDx\2016.4\samples\file_io_optical\route85_1920x1080.yuv
  • <xilinx install path>\SDx\2016.4\samples\file_io_sbm\desk_1280x720.yuv
