Assignment1


Running the sample application with script files

  • The runcp script located in the SampleAppVadd can be used to run the application in HW which sets the appropriate environment variables and runs the UserApp.exe
  • export CNY_PDK_PROJ = ~/pdk_sample/cae_pers_vadd ./runcp
  • The run script located in the SampleAppVadd can be used to run the application in SW
  • The scripts above can be used to run the application on Simulator using the "-vsim" option which sets the environment variable CNY_CAE_EMULATOR to ./run_simulation
  • ./runcp -vsim or ./run -vsim

Changes made to run the application on ModelSim

  • Setup as explained in here [[1]]
  • Set the CNY_PDK_PROJ environment variable to the location of cae_pers_vadd
  • export CNY_PDK_PROJ = ~/pdk_sample/cae_pers_vadd
  • Copied Jones' my_makefile from the temp dir and replaced the makefile in CY_PDK_PROJ/testbench
  • Add line to the makefile in testbench dir
  • CNY_PDK_MODELSIM_USER_SIM_OPTIONS= -i -do "run -all"
  • Modify the values of LIB_DIR and LDFLAGS from 32-bit to 64-bit as given below
  • LIB_DIR = lib64 LDFLAGS = -m64

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Extra Credit: Exploring gdb

  • We invoked gdb using the gdb <programname> command or by using the run/runcp script files in with "-gdb" option
  • gdb UserApp.exe or ./run -gdb Error creating thumbnail: File missing
  • One can find different command classes on gdb by typing help.To get details on a particular command class/command, type help on gdb followed by the name of the command class/command
  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
  • We explored some commands like run, start (to begin execution), stepi (for single instruction stepping into a file), kill (kill a running program) and quit on gdb

About Sobel Algorithm

Sobel Algorithm is used for edge detection in image processing.The link[2] explains

  • Why edge detection is important?
  • How sobel algorithm uses the gradient method (jump in the pixel values along edges in the images compared to the pixels around it) to detect edges in images?

The Algorithm

  • Use Sobel masks to find the gradient of a pixel w.r.t its 8 immediate neighboring pixel values. The Sobel masks are GX={(-1,0,+1),(-2,0,+2),(-1,0,+1)) which gives the gradient in the x direction and Gy={(+1,+2,+1),(0,0,0),(-1,-2,-1)} which gives the gradient in the x direction.
  • Find the approximate magnitude of the gradient using the formula
  • |G|=|Gx|+|Gy|
  • Compare |G| against the threshold values (0 and 255 in our case).
  • If (|G| > 255) then the pixel value is 0 in the output image. If (|G| < 0) then the pixel value is 255 in the output image.
  • Repeat the above steps for all the pixels in the image
