I’d like to be able to stream video from a camera attached to my computer directly to an FPGA I have attached to my computer via PCIE.
I don’t mind using a high level language like javascript or C# to do this (as those are the langauges I know have video streaming abilities), but I recognize that in order to get to that level of hardware, I may have to use C (which I know pretty well).
I just wondered if there is a certain route I’ll have to go in order to accomplish this, like installing Linux (it’s a windows 7 computer), or using a specific language, or if there is a library out there that does this already.
Thanks!
I may be wrong, but it sounds to me you’ll need to write a kernel driver for your hardware.
This means you’ll need to learn kernel development. For Windows, you need the WDK, Windows Driver Kit.
I’m not familar with Linux kernel development.
