The machine vision GigE solution consists of one or more FPGA IP cores to design GigE Vision compliant devices mainly for machine vision market. Devices could be cameras, but also receiving component like specialized GigE frame grabbers. The solution maps GigE Visions’s control channel and message channels to a software implemented part, running on an embedded processor like MicroBlaze. The time critical stream channel is fully implemented in hardware to achieve maximum of throughput. Customer is able to use this core to bring GigE Vision functionality to his device. Software can be customized to support device dependent features. Reference Designs (hardware plus FPGA design) for sending and receiving applications show usage of the core and help implementation on own hardware.
Key Features
