Can C6678 work with GigE Vision Camera ?

Hui Peng Lim

Is it possible to connect a GigE Vision camera to a TI C6678 through its Ethernet MAC ? What is the technical challenge ?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

I know nothing about the GigE Vision camera, but if you are connecting it to the C6678 via a ethernet Phy, I don't see why there would be any issue. Does the camera use IP packets or raw ethernet? Either way the DSP can receive them.

I've got the same question. GigE is not a open standard, nor is the packages defined in format, so normal UDP does not work. Is there any example or library supported by TI on interfacing the GigE standard?

GigE Vision is a standard, UDP based. It works fine with the C6678. If using larger bandwidths be careful with interrupt handling in order not to miss packets.
