It seems that zlib dependency is kind of painful. Let's say it is not required to keep the images compressed, only xored with lsfr. > > Also, another question: there is some reference to frequency counter > functionality that the Sigma driver apparently has.

It is special configuration (you already have it) and it is quite simple to use it. Each frequency measuring unit (there are four of them in the FPGA, more did not fit in it) has three 32-bit counters, first is time (counter running at 50MHz), second is amount of time when input was high (to compute duty cycle) and third is number of rising edges of the input during the period. Start and stop is always aligned to input edge and measuring time is kept to be around 100ms, all this is done by the hardware, software only periodically reads these three registers and does the calculation. I will eventually provide the documentation of the register map. But I don't have it in document yet and I cannot do it before March.
