PPI Config problem

Started by granndmaster January 7, 2004
Hello,

I have a question concerning the PPI Interface. I am using the
program "BF533_EZ_KIT_Video_Receive_C_Long_DMA" to read in a video
image into the SDRAM memory.
I have connected a PAL video camera with the Evaluation Board. The
analogue camera signal consists of the even and the odd field, which
were transmit one after another. Also the digital videostream after
the A/D conversion consists of these two parts.

In the PPI register "PPI_Control" I have the possibility to choose
which signal I want to send to the SDRAM. FLD_SEL = 0 => Field 1 (=
odd field), or FLD_SEL = 1 => both fields.

Here are my questions:
1) When I choose "FLD_SEL" = 1 both fields were transmitted into the
SDRAM, and I can see the complete image. But where were the fields
connected to one frame? In the PPI Interface?
2) When I choose "FLD_SEL" = 0, I expected that only the even or odd
field is stored in the SDRAM but I can see still the full image. What
is wrong? I want to store either the even or the odd field with this
setting. Thanks,

Markus
