StageCore1

Binaries (FPGA configuration, operating system and firmware) targeting a Xilinx Spartan-6 (XC6SLX25-2FTG256C) FPGA. The system has a versatile licensing mechanism for all software and hardware modules. This mechanism allows for cost-efficient and application-oriented use of options and features.

The core can be used in any custom FPGA-System that complies to the component and pinout specification. The included firmware is based on a modular library design to be used in different scenarios. Hardware and pin configuration are stored in a configuration EEPROM, hardware and firmware features are enabled through the license file located along with the FPGA configuration and the firmware binaries in the system ROM.

System Features

  • User provided device name and icon for easy identification, unique unit ID.

  • User reset, sets defaults for common parameters such as networking for easy retrieval in case of misconfiguration.

  • Monitor dialog through 115kBaud UART and Telnet.

  • Powerful configuration parameter dictionary.

  • LwIP 1.4.1 with Ethernet and SLIP drivers, performant multithreading architecture.

  • System profiler.

  • Embedded System Administration (ESA) server.

  • Single file bundle (zip archive) for distribution.

IDN Server Module

  • Sophisticated timeline reassembly and tracking algorithm with jitter compensation and automatic latency adaption.

  • Fast and efficient zero-copy network buffer management.

  • Server implementation derived from object oriented and device independent IDN library.

  • Detailed packet statistics.

IDN Bridge Module

  • Plug and play. Automatic setup and teardown of bridges through network probes.

  • Ability to scan the network for compatible receivers, store the list in nonvolatile memory and build bridges. The scan works for directly connected devices or across switches.

  • Supports configured, self initiated bridges and externally initiated bridges to be used with monitors and recorders.

  • Receiver configuration through UnitID and IP-Address to support dynamic address assignments and static assignments behind routers.

  • ISP signal splitter, support for 2 further receivers (total of 3) for signal duplication or multiplication (more in preparation).

  • Additional drain for remote host initiated brides for monitoring or recording.

Laser Projector Output Core

  • Single head and dual head operation with independent timing.

  • Flexible frequency synthesizer with a resolution of 250nS. The synthesizer allows for precise playback frequency match and detune needed by latency adaption.

  • Timeshifts for intensity and color (based on galvo command, known as colorshift) and color lines (based on intensity, introduced as color line tweaking).

  • Timeshifts between signals are configured in units of microseconds with a resolution of 250 nanoseconds. This keeps the shifts stable for all sample frequencies.

  • DAC output calibration (gain and offset).

  • Maximum throughput of 250.000 samples per second, full resolution, all channels.

DMX512 Output Core

  • Byte stream implementation allows for arbitrary start codes or stray custom data mixed with DMX512 data.

  • Large hardware FIFO reduces CPU attendance.

  • Commands for idle (all one) and break (all zero) characters.

ISP (ILDA Standard Projector) Input Core

  • Fully implemented ISP-Port (X, Y, I, R, G, B, U1, U2, U3, U4, Shutter, Interlock).

  • Interlock check through oscillator and edge detection.

  • Calibration for all inputs (offset and gain) in hardware.

DMX512 Input Core

  • Jabber detection and indication.

  • Large hardware FIFO reduces CPU attendance.

Ethernet Core

  • Performance optimized MAC core and driver software. Zero copy buffer management.

  • PHY-Level peer detection protocol.
