ABOUT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A little class project to generate interactive fractals.
In more detail, the project is built on a Altera DE2 FPGA (Cyclone II)
development board, dispatching the calculation of pixel colors from a
"soft" Nios II processor to hardware fractal calculators working in
parallel, which are then stored in a frame buffer and displayed
through VGA. The parameters used to generate the fractal are dynamic,
mutable by buttons or some other input.
COMPILING
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This project was developed with Quartus II (v7.2) along with SOPC
Builder (v7.2, tied to Quartus) and Nios-IDE (v7.2, tied to Quartus),
on Red Hat 5.
From source, one need only:
- Generate the SOPC system using SPOC Builder
- Compile the project using Quartus
- Compile the C-code using nios2-ide
- To do this, you need to set your workspace to src/software
- then, you have to import all the folders as projects, then
compile with IFV
For the class notes, see
RUNNING
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To run, program the board with Quartus, then nios2-ide.
Controls:
- Space and backspace are zoom in/out
- Arrow keys are pan
- WASD moves the constant around in the complex plane
- The number row changes the preset constant
- The z to m keys change the color scheme
- The enter key cycles the colors
TODO
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You should see either 1) github issues, or 2) our heads. Or the docs/
directory, we've likely put our latest and greatest out there.
