GigEVision FPGA and Microcontroller IP

For delivering image streams (camera side)

Preliminary

GigEVision Camera (device) FPGA IP

  • GVSP stream packet generation
  • GVCP control packets routed to/from microcontroller
  • Implemented for 1000BASE-T or 2.5GBASE-T PHY
  • SGMII+ interface to PHY over FPGA Generic 8B/10B SerDes
  • Capable of any GigEVison pixel format
  • Pixel FIFO input for integration
  • Chunk data capable
  • Serial port for control and monitoring

GigEVision Camera (device) Embedded Software

  • Ethernet stack and GenICam (GVCP) processor using microcontroller
  • DHCP, ARP, IP, UDP, Ping, Link Local addressing, etc. supported by stack
  • Developed for TI ARM M4 external microcontroller (for lowest cost)
  • Porting to integrated RISC-V FPGA soft controller implementation (for least board space)
  • Interfaces with FPGA via RMII 6 wire Ethernet PHY interface
  • Compliant GigEVision GenICam control functionality
  • GenICam .xml file held in SPI flash

GigEVision Host Firmware

  • Currently not available; in planning phase.

Multi-Platform FPGA Compatible

  • Currently implemented on Lattice ECP5 (low cost)
  • Generic Tecphos firmware libaries will compile for any architecture

FPGA Requirements

  • SerDes compatible with Ethernet SGMII 8B/10B data rates

License

  • Code status is pre-production. Looking for a partner to assist with production validation in exchange for reduced license fee.
  • Standard license is per project with no per-unit fees
  • Pre-compiled modules and source code licenses available
  • Licenses include 8 hours of customization
  • Licenses include one year of support
  • License discounts for multiple licenses
