Revive Frame Reader with Quartus Prime 18.1
Overview
If you want to display Linux Desktop using Intel SoC FPGA such as DE10-nano, you need to implement Frame Buffer on the FPGA side, but since the recent Quartus Prime has deprecated the Frame Reader IP core, I had to use a paid IP. However, the source of the Frame Reader IP core remained in Quartus Prime Lite / Standard 18.1 so that it can be compiled with Quartus Prime Lite 18.1.
procedure
(1) Find the *** frame_reader *** folder in the Quartus Prime Lite 18.1 installation folder. The default installation is under *** C: \ intelFPGA_lite \ 18.1 \ ip \ altera ***.
(2) Copy the entire folder under the Quartus project you want to compile. If there is a *** ip *** folder, there is no problem under it.
(3) *** There is a file called ** alt_vip_vfr_hw.tcl ** in ***
(4) Open the Quartus project, start Platform Designer, and if the following is displayed in the IP Catalog, it is OK.
(5) If the system already implements Frame Reader, generate and recompile it as it is, and the SOF of 18.1 will be completed.
(6) If the system does not implement Frame Reader, it is OK if you add Frame Reader and set the parameters. The GUI is the same as the old Frame Reader. (I will explain how to implement Linux Desktop if necessary, but I will not explain in detail here)

** How did you make this? ** **
The original ** alt_vip_vfr_hw.tcl ** was a tcl from the time of SOPC Builder, so it cannot be read by Platform Designer as it is. Of course, it is also possible to parse tcl from scratch and write it for Platform Designer. But that's a bit of a pain. Therefore, I converted it by the following procedure.
(1) Install Quartus II 13.1 on your PC. It was about this time that SOPC Builder was switching to Qsys, so there was a function to read SOPC Builder's tcl with Qsys as well.
(2) If you open the core with Qsys's Component Editor and close it, it will be converted to Qsys's tcl. At this time, you have to be careful in the Component Editor that the execution code (in the above code, the part below "# --Dynamic Ports (elaboration callback)-") is included in the tcl. You can't open it, so you need to remove the executable code from tcl and then open it.
(3) Restore the converted executable code part of tcl and save it.
You now have an IP core that can also be opened in Platform Designer. However, I don't know if everything works this way, and even if it looks like it works on Platform Designer, I don't know if the implemented core will work reliably, so please take your own risk. ..
