Have been very busy with a lot of things, including the intership… I spent the whole of last week just trying to write the Handel-C driver for reading and writing to the Flash RAM and the SRAM on the DE2 board. And also displaying using that to display a image to the screen using only 800×600 resolution. Didn't throught it will be that hard, but a lot of small things just wouldn't work and having to go a very long way to find out how to do it, which I guess happen all the time in projects. lol Here are some photos of the VGA output when I was trying to output a 8bit greyscale photo to the screen.

So… not that easy… and after the whole week I did manage to get the photo display correctly! But it's only a greyscale image, the problem is all the RAMs on the board are only up to 16 bits wide and loading the image on to the RAM was also a challenge. Three more weeks to go, and my aim is to be able to display a colour image, video scream a camera input and write up a manual. Hopefully will get a colour image to display by the end of tomorrow :D.
