2. Intro 142 ❤ Compressed data (Wireless) Gym 132 ❤ 170 ❤ 79 ❤ 130 ❤ 127 ❤ Gym Control Room

3. Intro (Cont.) Problem Data transmission time Processing time Complex layout

4. Solution Transmitter Compresses the data Receiver extracts and displays the data Intro (Cont.)

5. Project’s goal Implement a software compressor with a hardware extractor. ◦ Compressor -> Matlab ◦ Extractor -> FPGA

6. Algorithm Run Length Transmit Value & Repetitions

7. Algorithm -simple Example Picture pixel’s Values: Transmitted data : repetitionvalue 60 3255 1120 0 0 0 0 0 0 255 255 255 120

8. Project’s requirements 1. Input of 640*480 picture resolution. 2. Programming “Run length algorithm” in Matlab, using it as the compressor. 3. Creating a data array from the algorithm’s output and wrapping it in a pre determined packet. 4. Sending the packet to the FPGA through serial communication using RS-232 protocol.

9. 5. Checking the compressed data in the FPGA for errors with a pre determined CRC. 6. Storing the compressed data to an external memory - SDRAM 7. Implementation of the extractor within the FPGA using VHDL. 8. Presenting the extracted data on display with VESA protocol. Project’s requirements (Cont.)
