Digital electronics FPGA Board Hardware Driver for Windows 10

My son just made me aware that his school has a dozen of National Instruments Digital Electronics FPGA boards, but they have never been able to get them to work or actually use them in the curriculum. It seems that he has left his instructor know that I worked with FPGA Xilinx for more than 10 years and now everyone counting on me to get these maps work. The issue seems to be the USB driver. According to the manual, I tried DEFB2012_5_2.exe which simply refused to run on this machine Win 10 x 64. DEFB_4_3.exe ran, but complained that LabView components have not been installed and that it would not continue. Could someone tell me please how to install USB driver ONLY so that we can download files of bits with IMPACT? In terms of a school budget, the investment they have in these maps is not negligible. Thank you.

Hello Dave and TGregor,

I hope I can clear some things here. I'm sorry that you run in so many questions with your boards OF FPGA.

First of all, direct responses:

The LabVIEW FPGA 2015 driver should install the components needed to use the Board with Xilinx tools on WINDOWS 7, it will not work on any system more recent that the pilot has been developed before the release of Windows 8 and 10.

My recommendation for Windows 8 or 10 is rather install Xilinx ISE you find on Xilinx website or on the downloads page OR:

The difficulty that you face here is that tool Xilinx ISE is officially supported only on Windows 7 and below. So even though I think it will work (and it will move to the difference in the link of the above driver OF FPGA) for Windows 8 and 10, you can continue to deal with certain issues.

Now you are all looking to program the FPGA using an HDL, Multisim and LabVIEW? If you just use an HDL, you should be all set to go and in the dev environment, you had planned using the program. Circuit design of Multisim 'S simulation tool which includes a complete library of graphic digital components. A digital circuit can be built using the graphical logic gates in Multisim then downloaded directly on the FPGA without first having to learn VHDL or Verilog. It is quite popular among the logical classes digital introduction and we can help you by establishes that as well if you are interested.

For anyone else who might stumble upon this page, I want to make sure you are all aware that, while the Board of Directors OF FPGA is still supported and sold, it has been developed a number of years and has recently been replaced by the Council for development of the digital system (DSDB)that uses a 7020 architecting and has much periphrials more to the program than the FPGA OF. So I know that it is not useful for the current issue, but anyone looking for if they would like to buy more OF FPGA boards, I recommend watching the DSDB instead.

Thank you!
