LabVIEW Embedded - Support for device: NXP (ex. Philips) LPC2146 Microcontroller (ARM7)

Hi,
I would like to write some code in 'LabVIEW embedded' 8.5 for the NXP LPC2146 microcontroller (ARM7).
http://www.standardics.nxp.com/products/lpc2000/lpc214x/
The 2146 device is used within one of our main 'volume' products and I would like to write some special test code for the product in LV Embedded. I have the full NI development suite at 8.5 level.
The question is, does LV embedded suport this microcontroller fully?
I have found this info but still not sure: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/6207
Many thanks in antisipation of a reply.

Hi Andrew,
Using the LabVIEW Microprocessor SDK, you can "port" LabVIEW to build applications for any 32-bit microprocessor. The LabVIEW Microprocessor SDK Porting Guide describes the steps involved in the porting process.
The amount of effort involved depends on these factors:
How similar your target is to one of the example targets that are included in the LabVIEW Microprocessor SDK. As you can see in the article you linked, the SDK contains an example target with a Philips ARM and an eCos BSP. If your target is similar to this one (especially if the OS is the same), the porting process might take less than a week.
Familiarity with LabVIEW and embedded domain expertise. The porting process involves writing "plug-in" VIs in LabVIEW and building C run-time libraries for your target. However, once the porting process is complete, your target can be programmed solely in LabVIEW by someone with no embedded expertise whatsoever.
Target selection. We recommend a target have the following characteristics: 32-bit processor, OS/microkernel (not "bare metal"), and 256 KB RAM. Also, if you plan to make use of the LabVIEW Advanced Analysis libraries, a floating point unit is recommended.

Labview Embedded module for blackfin processor

hi
i want ot know that, Labview Embedded module for blackfin processor full development kit is essentail for detecting Blackfin Board.
I have all the software to detect the board but only Labview Embedded module for blackfin processor is Evaluation version.
so is that a resion for not detecting the Board
Regards
mithun patil

Just to be clear: The version of VisualDSP++ you need is not just VisualDSP++4.0, but VisualDSP++ 4.0 for LabVIEW Embedded. It is a special version created especially for use with LabVIEW Embedded. Go to the Help>About window in VDSP and verify that this is the product name. The evaluation version should not matter as long as the evaluation period has not expired.

Does LabVIEW have support for entering Urdu language script?

Hi All!
My LabVIEW application requires users to enter their observations in a string control which is then stored in an excel file.
Now the issue is that the user wants to enter the data in Urdu language.
Now my question is, Does LabVIEW have support for entering Urdu language script in a string control?
If yes how can I implement this? If no, is there any possibility that National Instruments could extend some help in this regard upon request?
Regards,
Reeves

My experience from Hebrew, which is also right to left, is that it can be done if the operating system supports it, but it will work badly if you include anything in the text which is not an Urdu letter. This causes it to be displayed in the wrong side of the control and is only solved if you add more Urdu text after it.
One option you can try is including an ActiveX control (such as the rich text box) for editing the text and then you can probably get the text from it using a property. I don't remember trying it (my users don't usually need to input Hebrew text themselves), but I think it should work. I wouldn't have any hopes for NI doing anything about this, because it's considered to be a relatively small market.
Try to take over the world!

LabVIEW Driver Support for an Agilent 4263B LCR Meter?

Hello All,
Has anyone interfaced with an Agilent 4263B LCR meter in LabVIEW? I can interface with the GPIB port using an NI USB-to-GPIB converter, but are there any support VIs out there to make the programatic interface easier?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

When will LabVIEW Drop Support for the NXT?

We currently use LabVIEW to program LEGO NXT kits in our engineering courses. However, LEGO is phasing out the NXT within the next year or two. Does anyone know the LabVIEW/NXT life cycle plan, i.e., when will LabVIEW no longer support the NXT platform?

Hi Joel777,
NI doesn't currently have a definitive roadmap for future NXT support in LabVIEW, but I recommend you check out the community page for updated modules. I would also recommend adding any feedback you have regarding future releases to this page in the comments section and periodically checking this page for support updates.

Applications for the iPhone and Corporate Support for device usage....

Not all applications are appropriate for internet access only. For example, I use a software package called eWallet to store my personal information in...I would prefer NOT to store this type of information on the internet. I love the interface for this device, but the lack of applications and Apple's unwillingness to open the platform up for developers will be enough for me to return back to a Blackberry or a Treo.
Also, the company I work for is certainly not willing to allow employees to install iTunes to synchronize contacts, calendars and phone information...I think Apple has a huge task ahead trying to break into the corporate world with this device.

That is true - if they were aiming this at the corporate world. As you can tell from the activation process that you can't even HAVE a business account and have it work with your iPhone, I don't think that's the direction they are looking at.

LabVIEW RT driver support for CEI-620?

Hi All,
I am using PXI-8106 to run heavy-duty communication and one chasis holds the CEI-620 card (third party ARINC429 card from GE, formerly Condor Engineering). Currently on the PXI controller only runs LabVIEW RT (Pharlap) since I did not want to install Windows OS to slow the performance. Now here it is the problem, GE does not provide LabVIEW RT driver support for CEI-620 (they do have LabVIEW RT support for CEI-830 though, but that card is PMC interface). Basically right now MAX can not recognize the CEI-620 card on the host side, and I can not deploy my ARINC429 application VI to the target PXI controller. I am wondering anybody here has encountered the same problem and develop the LabVIEW RT driver for CEI-620 on his own?
Thanks.

Hi,
Unfortunately I don't have much more information to offer. I would suggest checking to make sure you have all the correct device information whe you create the ini file. I think you should still be able to develop a driver for a poll based device. It should be easier to generate an ini file if you do not require interrupt information. Make sure you have the correct identification information and try using the VISA Driver Development Wizard again.

LV Support for Raspberry Pi?

Just wondering if NI LabVIEW Embedded Module for ARM Microcontrollers supports the new Raspberry Pi board?
The Raspberry Pi is a credit-card sized computer board that plugs into a TV and a keyboard. It’s a miniature ARM-based PC which can be used for many of the things that a desktop PC does, like spreadsheets, word-processing and games. It also plays High-Definition video.
Further info here and here

Hello George,
Thanks for the reply and your views - interesting.
I notice that the device is ARM11 so does this mean that LV Embeded Module doesn't yet support this? I note you said support is for: ARM7, ARM9, and Cortex-M3

However, I cannot downgrade to MM 0.6 as Gnome 3.8 and NetworkManager require >=0.7.
Has anyone encountered this problem before and has a fix/solution? Or should I file a bug in the Arch tracker? I got Bluetooth PANs to work with a patched bluez from this board, as the upstream version is behind the one used by fedora (4.101-1 vs. 4.101-4). WWAN is the only thing that doesn't work with my new Arch setup.
Thanks in advance, any help would be much appreciated.

How to use USB interface with LabVIEW Embedded for ARM

Hi everybody.
I am developing an application based on the "LabVIEW Embedded for
ARM". Now I am doing various tests using
the evaluation board 2300 (with NXP LPC2378), but soon I will
dedicate to program the micro used in my project (NXP
LPC2148).
During the tests, I have seen that "default" LabVIEW interface allows the use
of CAN, I2C and SPI interfaces of the micro. I want to know how can I also use the
USB interface that is on the micros -both LPC2148 and LPC2378- (pin USB_D + / D-, USB_UP_LED,
USB_CONNECT, VBUS).
Thanks in advance for your suggestions

@chueco85
If you've created an application in LabVIEW for ARM and you build it.
you can go to tools >> ARM Module >> Show Keil uVision
then go to he build options.
the hex file will be created when you do a build.
with flash magic :http://www.flashmagictool.com/
you can program your device.

Support for Shared Variables in Third Party XP embedded based TPC's?

I have deployed an application in an XP embedded based Touch Panel (Third party). The application is working fine, but the shared variables hosted on an RT (sbRIO Board) are not getting updated in the application on TPC
1. The TPC is part of the project as Windows XP Embedded Touch Panel
2. NI TPC Service has been installed on the TPC and the application can be deployed remotely from the development PC through ethernet. (Hence network connections and communications are OK)
3. By using Distributed Systems Manager in the development computer, I can see that the shared variables are getting updated on the network
I believe that the problem can be solved if the following programs are installed on the TPC
A. Support for shared variables for XPembedded
B. Shared Variable engine
I have tried installing support for shared variables from Program Files > National Instruments > Labview 8.6 > PDA > Utilities > Variables > x86 - but am getting an installation error "Unable to find application manager for Pocket PC applications".
Shared variable engine has been installed from ve220 folder. The program is getting installed. But the Variable Engine is not started Control Panel > Administrative tools > Services in Xpe, the service is stopped and cannot be started. When I try to start the service, I am getting the following error on TPC
"Could not start the National Instruments Variable Engine Service on the local computer.
Error 1053. The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion."
Please suggest solutions for the above or alternate locations for the following:
1. Support for shared variables for XP embedded TPC's
2. Shared Variable engine installer program.
Thanks
Krish
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Problem solved!
Update for interested folks working on XP Embedded TPC's
Just to make sure that Shared Variables were indeed accessible to the TPC, I wanted to install Distributed Systems Manager 8.6 on the TPC. However since the TPC was having only 1 GB of DOM (Disk on Memory) and with all the software I had tried, there were only a few Megabytes left on the system. I had to add another DOM of 2 GB.
All the products of the Installation went fine, with the exception of NI Logos (Version 5.0). NI Logos installation failed repeatedly. I tried installing NI Logos separately, with the same results. Then I had this gut feeling that NI Logos had something to do with the issue.
I then downloaded the new version of NI DSM 2009 SP1. Although this was supposed to get installed on any fresh system without Labview, the installation would not proceed beyond the setup stage. I tried installing NI Logos from the products folder on the new download separately and it worked like magic!
Once the new Logos (Ver 5.5) got installed, the Shared Variable Engine started automatically and the Shared Variables were finally unleashed - free to rise and shine! Thank God Almighty!!
On the lighter side, come to think of it - for running an application of around 400KB, we need XP embedded, NI Run Time, Logos, DSM .......... (all around 900MB). Can we make it any simpler?!! Inviting your comments .......
Thanks
Krish

LabView Embedded for BF537 and FGPA EZ-Extender

Hello,
I would like to know is it possible programming FGPA EZ-EXTENDER by usign LabView Embedded module - now we have BF-537 EZ-KIT and it works perfect, but now we woluld like to order FGPA Extender (or Bluettoth), but I have to know can I create programs for this module in LabView
Best regards,
Pawel Blaszczyk

Hi
Unfortunatelly, this daughter card is not supported neither by LV Embedded for Blackfin nor by LV FPGA. So you have to use the standard method of working with it, as described in VisualDSP++ documentation.
If you want to have similar functionality directly from LabVIEW (embedded system with FPGA), consider CompacRIO or SingleboardRIO.

DAQmx support for LabVIEW 2010

FYI to those downloading LabVIEW 2010 from NI web site:
After Installing LabVIEW 2010 (download from web site), I noticed that there is no support for DAQmx (i.e.. VI libraries) in NI_DeviceDrivers-February2010 DVD (my latest copy). Your have to download and install DAQmx 9.2 drivers (the first to include LabVIEW 2010 support).
Additionally, If you were using Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy) 7.4.4 VIs in a prior version of LabVIEW, you must do one of the following:
      1. Uninstall current Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy) 7.4.4 installation and re-install after completing LabVIEW 2010 installation.
          Reason: Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy) installs support only for the latest version of LabVIEW found on the system.
Or
      2. Copy the the "<previous LabVIEW>\vi.lib\Daq" directory and all it contents to a new "<LabVIEW 2010\vi.lib\Daq directory. This way you can use Traditional NI-DAQ in both versions of LabVIEW.

I didn't have DVDs, I had to download.
Yes it was a mess. The device driver download took forever (NI can't help that). The installation took beyond forever (what else can be done?).
I was disappointed that I had to do all of this backing up of legacy folders and restoring them after installing the device drivers. Why does NI always have device drivers and toolkits install to the latest version of Labview only? Why couldn't they leave the legacy stuff alone?? I still use LV2009 and wanted to try LV2010. This involved a whole lot of trouble and time.
NI needs to provide a much easier way to upgrade, while still allowing previous versions to work without modification. Most people who upgrade will not completely abandon the older versions.
