Introduction To Xilinx System Generator

This document introduces Xilinx System Generator, which provides device-optimized DSP block libraries for Simulink to model DSP algorithms and generate HDL code for Xilinx FPGAs. It describes using System Generator blocks in Simulink to read images, perform operations like RGB to grayscale conversion, filtering, enhancement, negation, and binarization, and view the output. Examples showcase creating and simulating image processing models to read, process, and display results.

Introduction To Simulink And System Generator


Simulink
o Developed by MathworksInc. o A Model-based design environment integrated with Matlab o Provides various sets of block libraries to help you create , simulate, and test a complicated system,including control system, communication, image processing, etc.

System Generator
o Developed by Xilinx Corp. o Provides device-optimized DSP block library for Simulink o Let you model DSP algorithm, generate HDL code, and verify FPGA designs for Xilinx devices in a intuitive and efficient way.

System Generator
Type Simulink at the MATLAB command prompt or open the Simulink Library Browser by clicking the corresponding button in the MATLAB toolbar

Reshape is an operator that is used to convert the dimensions. The parameter one dimensionality is chosen as 1-D array since the XSG accepts 1-D as the inputs.

The number of bits is chosen as 8 since we are using a gray scale image. Quantization and overflow is kept as round and saturate by default.

Buffer size:
If an image of a X b is taken then the buffer size should always be a*b. Eg: 64X64 is the image size then buffer size must be 4096.

Reshape:
At the output the parameters of reshape operator must be: o Dimentionality: Customise o Dimension: it must be 2D since we are converting back to the original image. Hence specify the size of original image

SETTING THE STOP TIME


The run time/ stop time is always calculated as twice the dimension of the matrix. If the image is 64X64 then the stop time= 2*64*64.

Simulation

Output using Workspace


After simulation the output is seen in the workspace.

Output obtained is 1-D array. It has to be converted to 2-D array.

Write the callback function in the editor window and link to the model

Output obtained

NOTE:In order to carry out processing on an image the modules have to be placed between gateway in and gateway out
