Hardware implementation of HEVC decoder

[visdhiman]

Hello,

I am trying to create a HEVC decoder in verilog to built an decoder on a FPGA board. The problem is I am not able to find the right way to start my project. Is there any guide on hardware implementation of video coders.

I have two ways to follow:
one is to choose the reference software from the link below
https://hevc.hhi.fraunhofer.de/
and try to understand the code and write my own verilog codes.
or
second I use some High level Synthesis (HLS) tools which can convert cpp into HDL.

Thanks
