+Overview
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+The Real-Time Audio Composition system allows for the conversion of visually
+ encoded information into audio.
+ A typical visual encoding program, such as Baudline, takes audio input
+ and produces a scrolling visualization of the fast-Fourier transform (FFT).
+ Our system could take one of these visualizations and produce ch serve
+ as the visual spectrograph to interpreted and played back through headphones
+ or speakers.
+ A PS/2 mouse allows for control of the GUI system.
+ Using the mouse, the user can interact with the buttons, the image itself,
+ and a number of other features.
+ An image of the GUI is shown in Figure

+The GUI allows for a number of functions.
+ An edit function, regrettably never fully implemented due to time constraints,
+ would allow for the direct editing of captured images by manually selecting
+ an eight bit binary lved with the time domain audio data to produce the
+ audio signal.
+ The AC97 audio chip in the FPGA runs at a clock speed of 48kHz so the audio
+ samples must also be up-sampled to produce the final signal.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+t vector with at least 1024 bins is required.
+ Aliever, a full wrapper module was necessary to load samples in and out
+ of the module, enable and disable processing, ensure sample index synchronizati
+on, etc.
+ The ifft_wrapper module ensures that only the 12-bit real components are
+ written and that both the 8-bit phase and 12-bit complex components are
+ tied to 0 at input and ignored at output.

+onversion is implemented by using each time-domain sample twice, then low
+ pass filtering the output to remove the high frequency artifacts introduced.
+ This low pass filter also conveniently filters out any noise or aliasing
+ occurring in the frequencies above the 720 or so lowest frequencies actually
+ specified by image data.
+ Note that the up-sampling process also effectively halves the frequency
+ corresponding to each bin in our frequency-domain spectral vectors, giving
+ better frequency resolution in the lower, more human discernible regime.
+\end_layout

+\begin_layout Standard
+The low pass filter is implemented almost exactly like in Lab 3, using 31

+entire packet length is filled (128 values in our case), the IFFT is computed.
+ Natural order refers to the ordering of bits on the output.
+ Reverse ordering of bits is the natural mode of the IFFT, and since timing
+ is not a huge concern at this stage, producing natural order bits is worth
+ the time.
+ The different stages of the IFFT input and output are controlled by an
+ FSM as shown in Figure
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+Unless just reset, at which the FSM is immediately clock enabled and put
+ in the setup state so the time domain taps can be initialized, the FSM
+ naturally idles in the wait state.
+ With the edge detection of a button press release within the bode plot,
+ the FSM enters the setup state since it can be assumed that a value within
+ the bode plot has changed.
+ As soon as the ready for data flag is set high, the FSM enters the write
+ state.
+ The values from the bode array are fed into the IFFT, lagging behind three
+ cycles as designated by the datasheet.
+ After all data has been entered, the FSM enters the read state.
+ The resulting tap indices and values are completely synchronous at this
+ point and can be fed directly into the tap manager which will hold the
+ resultant values.

+Memory Management

+Author: Dimitri Turbiner
+\end_layout

+\begin_layout Standard
+The memory control module uses four interface modules to communicate with
+ the Camera, GUI, and IFFT subsystems and two interface modules to control
+ the physical SRAM chips on the LabKit.
+ The camera_to_zbt interface module, keeps track of the sync signals coming
+ from the Camera subsystem in order to compute the memory destination address.
+ Incomming pixels are buffered and packed together into groups of four.
+ When such a group of four is ready, the memory controller is signalled
+ by camera_we.
+ The input signals are all synchronized to the clock in the Camera subsystem
+ -- 27mHz, while the output signals have to be synchronized at the memory
+ clock -- 65mHz.
+ Thus, the camera_to_zbt module has to perform clock resynchronization between
+ the two subsystems it connects.
+ The zbt_to_display, zbt_to_ifft, edit_to_zbt, modules all compute the memory
+ destination address based on the requested pixel horizontal and vertical
+ index (hcount and vcount), and when signalled by the memory controller
+ that data is valid, pack or unpack four 8bit pixels to/from the 36 bit
+ data bus.
+
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+The memory controller controls the two zbt ram access modules depending
+ on which memory IO operations have been requested by the subsystems.
+ The controller supports latching the various subsystem's data and address
+ busses in order to guarantee minimum hold delays and to resolve simultaneous
+ memory access requests.
+ The latches control logic is built around a memory access priority hierarchy:

+problem was also noticed after this implementation.
+ When the pixel itself was updated by multiplying the stored bode value
+ by the incoming pixel data, a great deal of scattering across the boundaries
+ of the image was noticed.
+ By pipelining the data within the clocked region, this problem was removed
+ and smooth fading occurred.
+ (Note: the unimplemented edit mode code uses only slightly different math

+Audio Pipeline

+\begin_layout Standard
+A number of external tools were crucial for the development and debugging
+ of the audio processing pipeline.
+ An entire separate labkit module with a parameterized dummy sample generator
+ replacing the camera and memory management and no GUI output.
+ This allowed for debugging with consistent, simple, noise free spectral
+ input.
+ This labkit module was also wired to make full use of the hex display (to
+ show bode tap index and both horizontal and vertical memory indexes) and
+ the logic analyzer connections (all 4 16-bit connectors were used!).
+ For instance, Figure shows the IFFT module output of a simple sine wave;
+ the clock-like ticks of channels above and below the sine waveform show
+ the request and ready signals of the various other stages of the audio
+ pipeline.
+ Note that this section of the spectral waveform shows the all zero padding
+ from the windowing module; the single non-zero sample_value is off screen
+ to the left, and the dummy ram module request/ready pins are not toggled.
