DMA hangs in attempt to make another xfOpenCV accel kernel

[haipnh]

Hi,

Based on the approach from PYNQ-Helloworld, I am trying to make another kernel to convert color space from BGR to YUYV. However, when I run the example, the DMA hangs with following messages:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is my source code diff.

Other configuration are the same with resize example.

And this is my example notebook:

Hi @haipnh,

The constructor of the xf::cv::Mat expects the size to be passed from arguments rather than macros. This will also allow your kernel to be able to work on different image sizes.

Another thing is that you are changing the output type, I do not see the stream type changing neither the output data width converter.

Thank you @marioruiz for your suggestions. I think the problem is how I handle the data stream. I am checking it now.

I do not see the stream type changing neither the output data width converter.

What does stream type mean?

[marioruiz]

This: void bgr2yuyv_accel(stream_t& src, stream_t& dst)

The dst stream does not match the data type you are using out of the xfMat2axis.

Thank you, @marioruiz .

The problem with DMA was solved after applying these changes:

• added arguments: int rows, int cols.
• updated output data width from 24 to 48 and stream
  type for dst from
  hls::stream<xf::cv::ap_axiu<24,1,1,1>>
  to
  hls::stream<xf::cv::ap_axiu<48,1,1,1>>
