Streaming-system is a comprehensive video conferencing package that allows users to set up and deploy a live streaming system. It includes a website, setup scripts and watchdog code.
-
Firmware Projects - As the device uses a Xilinx Spartan 6 FPGA, developing much of the hardware is actually a process of developing software!
More information on current HDMI2USB firmware. -
Extension Boards - The Digilent ATLYS can be extended via the VHDCI connector.
More information on existing HDMI2USB extension boards
!!! All hardware projects will require you to have a Digilent ATLYS prototype board !!!
If you can show that you are committed to developing hardware (such as being accepted into a program like Google Summer of Code), you can apply for a grant to have a board provided to you for development.
