Labview 2010 Student Edition, will it work with the Labview FPGA module and Xilinx Spartan 3E??

Just as the title states.
I did a search here on compatibility, but I am coming up short with not much to show for it.
I have Labview 2010 student edition, 32bit and 64 bit. I am trying to do a Senior Design project for my undergrad, and I am having some issues.
I was able to download the Support for the Xilinx Spartan 3E and Labview FPGA.
I install it, it runs through the unzipping process, installs, and then mysteriously I cannot find it. I have looked through my programs list and it is not listed. I open both editions of LabView and I find ABSOLUTELY NOTHING indicating that either one has ANYTHING to do with FPGA.
Did I install it wrong? Or is it just not supported in the studend version of Labview???
Can someone help me, please?

What about the trial version? Any chance of it being on there?
I think everything is available for download, and without activation it will be in trial mode and you have about a month (?) before the trial expires.
A trial version of the FPGA module is available for download here. I have no idea if it would work with the student version.
I would recommend to talk to your local NI sales representative for advice. Good luck.

LabVIEW 2010 FPGA Driver for Xilinx SPARTAN 3E Starter Board

Dear Friends,
Is there any possibility to release a LabVIEW 2010 FPGA Driver for Xilinx SPARTAN 3E Starter Board?
Regards,
wedo
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Brad,
So glad to get your post here!
I’m looking forward to download the new installer.
I wonder whether the new driver will support the 10/100 Ethernet Physical Layer Interface, since the last drivers aren’t support this feature!?
Also, will be any new examples included with the new driver? For instance: an example for the StartaFlash Memory; I have done an example for this but I couldn’t get it work! I don’t know why! You may check my post and the example in the following link!
http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Spartan-3E-StrataFlash-Memory-wrong-reading/m-p/1030898
By the way, is there any plane to develop a driver for the Spartan-3E (1600Kgate) kit? Both kits (500KGate and 1600KGate) have the sample on-board peripherals, the only difference is in the number of Gates (FPGA chip). I think all that is needed is to add the component ID (29597843---->3E1600) and revise the xc3s1600e.bsd and 3sXXXe.nph.
Thanks in advance & kindest regards,
wedo

How can I install (download) a Labview FPGA code onto Altera FPGA chip using Labview FPGA module?

Hi there
Guys i'm a very new labview user (PhD student), my project is about ( design and implementation of a high speed-yet sophisticated system using Labview environment then install this project's code (using Labview FPGA module) onto Altera-made FPGA chip).
so kindly, can any body help me in this?...is there any way to connect labview with Altera FPGA?...please anything would be said 'd be of great benifits
thanks a lot in advance.

as previously mentioned, labview fpga only supports national instruments targets utilizing xilinx fpgas. the hdl generated by labview fpga is encrypted and cannot be used to synthesize a design outside the labview fpga design flow.
however, if you must use labview for your project, it might be possible for you to design the system in labview and use one of the labview embedded modules ( http://www.ni.com/embedded )to generate c code which you can then port to systemc and compile for the altera fpga. i'm not saying it will be easy, but it should be possible.

LabVIEW FPGA: An internal software error in the LabVIEW FPGA Module has occurred

Hi,
I am trying to build a LabView FPGA VI. During compilation, I always get error stating "LabVIEW FPGA: An internal software error in the LabVIEW FPGA Module has occurred. Please contact National Instruments technical support at ni.com/support". At the time, comiplation process is almost at the end. "Final Timing (place and route)" shows as completed. When Checked the Xilinx log session, at the end it states that " Process "Generate Programming File" completed successfully". However, I do not see any generated bitfile.
When clicked on error details, it shows following:
LabVIEW: An unknown error occurred.
Error -2629 occurred at Error occurred while loading XML string. Invoke Node in niFpgaXml_PrettyPrint.vi->niFpgaWriteBitfileXml_Core.vi->niFpgaCompileWorker_CreateBitfile.vi->niFpgaCompileWorker_JobComplete.vi->niFpgaCompile_Worker.vi:6460001
Possible reason(s):
LabVIEW: An unknown error occurred.
I tried multiple times but so far no luck to generate bitfile for this VI. What could be wrong here?

Can i use Handle C with the LABVIEW FPGA module?

Hi,
Can i use Handle C with the LABVIEW FPGA module? I am working with CompactRIO right now so, i want to know weather i can use Handle C with CompactRIO.Can i access FPGA in compactRIO independant of LABVIEW means can i program it without using LABVIEW?
regards,
Vishnu.

Hi Vishnu,
Although we don't support Handel-C directly, it is possible to design your algorithms using 3rd party tools or system integrators and consume them from a top-level LabVIEW VI. The webcast at http://zone.ni.com/wv/app/doc/p/id/wv-268 shows an example of how you can use IP from C-based tools provided by Celoxica in the LabVIEW FPGA environment.

Labview fpga module Spartan 6 LX9 FPGA

Does Spartan 6 LX9 FPGA supported in labview FPGA module ?

varunme,
The only FPGA targets that can be programmed with LabVIEW FPGA are National Instruments FPGA products (cRIO, sbRIO, R-Series, FlexRIO, etc) and the Xilinx Spartan 3E XUP board. Unfortunately, LabVIEW FPGA doesn't support third party devices containing the LX9 FPGA.

Can LabView FPGA module work with non-NI FPGAs?

Simple Question: Can the LabView FPGA Module work with other FPGAs? Im assuming yes, but id like ot make sure first. Normaly I go with NI for most of my stuff, but they just are lacking in the FPGA hardware for what I need, but Im accustumed to LabView so I would like to stick with that to program it.
Thanks!

Using LabVIEW and LabVIEW RT you can access the registers on any PCI/PXI card using the NI-VISA driver. NI-VISA also allows you to handle interrupts and DMA data. For interrupts you will not actually write an interrupt service routine (ISR) in LabVIEW. Instead the VISA driver will acknowledge the interrupt to the card and then pass a VISA event to the LabVIEW application letting the application know that it needs to process the interrupt. Detailed information about this type of programming is available in the following documents.

LabVIEW FPGA Module Error Code 10 when creating bitfile

I am recieving the following error message when trying to compile a vi:
Internal Error
An internal LabVIEW FPGA Module error occurred at the following stage: Creating Bitfile.
Error Code: 10
Error Text: Create Folder in nirviRecursiveCreateFolder.vi-
>nirviRecursiveOpenFile.vi->nirviWriteBitFileInformation.vi-

If this problem persists, please contact National Instruments.
Any help would be appreciated. I am not very familiar with LabView, and am trying to run code generated by a grad student several summers ago. If more information is needed, let me know and I will try to provide it.
Thanks

Arkolbus-
It sounds like the compiler is having some trouble creating a folder that it needs to generate the bitfile. First, check all of the usual things: are you an administrator? do you have worte access to the "FPGA Bitfiles" folder in your project?
If it looks like you should be able to write the file, you can try posting your project (zipped) and let someone on the boards try to compile it (be sure to let us know what the versoin is). If we can compile it without issue you may want to try repairing your FPGA module installation.

How do I install Labview 64 bit support for the labview fpga module?

see subject.

Hi,
The LabVIEW FPGA Module uses the 32-bit version of the Xilinx tools, even on the 64-bit OS.
There is no 64 bit version of LabVIEW FPGA and you must have LabVIEW 32 bit
installed on your 64-bit machine to use the compatible version of
LabVIEW FPGA.
NI LabVIEW FPGA Module will run within the 32-bit emulation layer, Windows on Windows (WOW64).

Implementing Differential Equations using Labview fpga modules on PXI-7811R

Dear,
I am working on implementing dynamic systems modeled ordinary differential equations on PXI-7811R FPGA using labview FPGA. Is there any body who can help me how to implement differential equation on PXI devices uding Labview FPGA, please? Is there any integrator in Labview FPGA, module. I used Discrete Integerator in LAbview FPGA module in Maths palette, but i hesistated if it really works . I really appreciate your help,
Gammee

Thank you for posting on the discussion forum.
You can solve differential equations using LabVIEW FPGA but you may run into some significant difficulties in doing so. If you are not tied to using FPGA, you could try using LabVIEW real-time, which may make things much easier. But if you would like to stick with FPGA, see the link below for a list of examples that may be helpful:
http://search.ni.com/nisearch/app/main/p/bot/no/ap/tech/lang/en/pg/1/sn/ssnav:ipn/q/differential%20e...
Below is a link that you can review to better understand the functionality of the discrete integrator should you choose to go that route:

Integrating fpga module with standard block diagram

Hi all,
I'm doing an FTIR multitouch table, and I would like to be able to track blobs using LabVIEW then transfer this data to a Spartan 3e FPGA. I have seen the tutorials on how to program the Spartan 3e and have direct communication with LabVIEW, but can I also run image processing via USB-IMAQ VIs in the same block diagram? Basically I need to get coordinate data from the blobs (touch points on the screen) and transfer this data to an FPGA which will act as a primitive graphics card. Any ideas are appreciated.
Thanks...

Zzzyzx,
Hello! You should be able to use your Host VI to talk to Both the FPGA and the USB-IMAQ devices. You would just have two loops running at the same time, one for each device's communication. To pass data between the loops (from the vision to the FPGA) you could use a Consumer Producer Architecture.
I assume you are referring to these tutorials?
