Development of industrial camera systems

Here is an example of meeting specific requests through differentiation based on an existing camera system.
We proposed a design that reflected the requested specifications by understanding the original system's specifications.

System overview

System requirements

Customer request

  • We are developing an industrial camera that interfaces with a host via CameraLink.
  • We are using Nios II, provided by an FPGA vendor, as the microcontroller for our industrial camera.
  • Since we are replacing an existing camera, we aim to maintain compatibility with the host's communication format and response, up to a certain extent.
  • Functionality and performance will be addressed based on the requested specifications that differentiate from the existing camera.

Proposal contents (feature)

  • To accommodate the assumption of reuse and minimize designing from scratch, we proposed a method for understanding the source system and reflecting the differences in specifications.
    Even in cases where there is no design specification, we can propose a process for designing based on usage or RTL, which is often the most requested method.
  • Proposal of logic verification environment
    As we are utilizing an FPGA, we have the capability to perform real-world device validation. However, we also suggested incorporating logic verification as a debugging step.
