Hi all I want to write into a .ppm file using RGB data as inputs. Has anybody got any VHDL code for reference? Please help. Many Thanks.

It looks fairly easy: http://orion.math.iastate.edu/burkardt/data/ppm/ppm.html You will need a little bit textio and then you're done. > Has anybody got any VHDL code for reference? What about you trying it on your own. And when an actual question occurs you will find help here. But no one is intended to do all of your homework...
I am pretty sure he has a RGB sensor input in real and want's to store the data. I wonder if "text.io" is the helper in this case.

But the task to do this completely in hardware (=VHDL) sounds totally unrealistic. And so my second thought is that it must be for simulation only. But lets wait for the answer...
Thanks all It is for simulation(for comparison tests). There is no standard resolution for the image. The RGB data can be of any size. It is given as an input. And the input data must be written into a .ppm file which can be opened as an image.
Me too Lothar but we also had these guys in here who asked for such a design being capable o doing this, but it seems as if you were right this time :-)
Hi Thank you for your response. I tried writing a file with rgb data in hex format. But when written the image is wrong . I just get a grayscale image. When I tried opening a random .ppm image in text format it is not in human readable format. I am still trying to find in what format the data is written into the file. (binary and hex did not work). Please help. Thanks in advance Code: ppm_file : process file ppm_file : TEXT ; variable l_handle : line ; variable P6 : string(1 to 2 ) := "P6"; variable name : string(1 to 17) := "# ppm image"; variable size : string (1 to 7) := "800 480"; variable space : string (1 to 1) := " "; variable scope : string (1 to 3) := "255"; VARIABLE char : integer:= 0; begin file_open(ppm_file,"image_ppm",write_mode); write(l_handle,P6); writeline(ppm_file,l_handle); write(l_handle,name); writeline(ppm_file,l_handle); write(l_handle,size); writeline(ppm_file,l_handle); write(l_handle,scope); writeline(ppm_file,l_handle); loop wait until(rising_edge(clk)); write(l_handle, (to_hstr(red))); write(l_handle, space); write(l_handle, (to_hstr(green))); write(l_handle, space); write(l_handle, (to_hstr(blue)));write(l_handle, space); writeline(ppm_file,l_handle); end loop ; file_close(ppm_file); end process ppm_file;
Hi, I would suggest having a look to Martin J. Thompson's "image processing primitives". He has a good and generic approach for reading and writing ASCII PGM images. It should be somewhere on github, google for it. I have built upon this work, in order to support PBM, PGM and PPM (if i recall correctly both binary and ASCII). Let me know if you are interested in my version, it is on sale. Best regards Nikolaos Kavvadias http://www.nkavvadias.com
