LabVIEW 2012 Error -61017 sbRIO-9606

Question

I get this error when I using the Open FPGA VI Reference.
The FPGA VI compiles and executes properly but when I try to use it with RT, I get the above error.
Any clues?
Thank you!

Answer 1

I had a similar problem last week which I had to go through NI Support to fix.
My problem was that my bitfile was up to date and would run fine interactively but when I tried to Open FPGA Reference in my VI I got error -61017. If i force a recompile it would then run until I rebooted my PC and it would do the same again.
In my case, the problem was caused by moving from LV2012 to LV2013 and I had an unused FIFO in the project which was never called in the FPGA VI...for some reason the reference to the FIFO was still there in LV2012 but not there in LV2013.
The 'fix' was to create a new project, add the FPGA VI to it and compile it under another project and then link the original Open FPGA reference to the new bitfile (or try a bitfile in a different location or a different bitfile altogether) which then updated the FPGA reference, broke my VI because the FPGA reference no longer had the FIFO (quick fix) and then it ran fine from then on.
Maybe the same will work for you but if not, someone might find this after searching for the same error code.
