Wouldnt building our own GigE connectivity boards allow us to keep control of the entire project from beginning to end?
Perhaps, but at a higher cost and longer time-lines. Creating your own board requires large resources. Cost overruns are common, with missed schedules and missed opportunities. Its very easy to underestimate complexity and scope of a GigE Vision project and the range of skills required for a true end-to-end solution that meets the market needs. For instance, FPGA verification and product validation efforts required to achieve GEV certification are often underestimated. Pleora has developed an extensive FPGA GigE Vision compliance verification and product validation environment. In fact, Pleora developed the official validation framework for the GEV technical committee, based on a subset of the more advanced Pleora version.
