In this project we designed a raster image processor (RIP) interface board to allow image data input from external RIPs. Work included providing for the placement of RIP image data into image memory arrays. The interface logic allowed for image data manipulation such as inversion, bit reversal, multiplexing and force white or black and the Altera EP900 programmable logic devices (PLDs) were used for some logic functions. The finished Versa Module Europa (VME) custom bus interface had a 6U by 280 mm form factor.
