Failure of compilation of the FPGA target

• Error: Execution of registry is supported only on the FPGA target

  I am trying to write a debugging tool to test the communication between objects FP on my host VI to a RT system and then to a FPGA system.  I thought I would "simulate" the three layers with queues between them in order to ensure that the parameters are received correctly - a comprehensive test of Communications virtually.  I want to be able to run this VI on the host.  There are a lot of bits being shifted and twisted and be able to define probes and braekpoints within a single host VI is an advantage.

  Initially, it worked fine after copying my FPGA code (with object instantiation of the registers and then reading and writing for them), but now then LabVIEW did another thing that disappears (with no goodbye or anything like that).  When I say that it worked, the values read from the FPGA objects that instantiate their own records showed the correct values when sending data.  This means that LV really instantiate records and has been able to address them individually.

  Since then, I get the error appearing in the title, whenever I try to run the VI.

  (1) should I really move my parts FPGA to a VI on the FPGA target and have the VI in parallel with the defined target to run in Dev mode (and sends data over the DMA channel)

  (2) why this work initially and then fail?

  Shane

  False alarm, I had no wired all my objects instantiated (and thus a communication VI received default objects with no valid registry.

  Program actually works very well.

  Still weird, but the error message doesn't really leave everything that was wrong.

• Xilinx FPGA target properties options is not available

  Hi all... I have a little problem.

  I can't have Options of Xilinx FPGA target properties to change the goal of optimization of the synthesis of area instead of the speed in 2012 of LabVIEW. Please let me know the cause and the solution to this problem.

  Thank you.

  Coelho,

  Interesting, looking to the right place for the compiler options? Compiler options will not be under 'Properties of the FPGA target' as you mentioned previously (sorry I missed this in your first post), rather these options can be found under the heading 'Options of Xilinx' when you create a specification to build FPGA for compilation.

  "" Click on build specifications ' New ' Compilation, and then select the Options of Xilinx category and you should see a window like this.

  

  Can you confirm that you are looking at this place?

• Areas of clock in the FPGA examples

  I was looking through some examples of LabVIEW FPGA and I fell on the example of Crossing Clock domains.

  In this example, there are 4 screws; FIFOs.vi; Global Variables.vi; Local variables.VI; and Registers.vi. In each of these screws, there is a timed loop which runs at 160 MHz.

  How is that possible? Since the clock on the FPGA is only 40 MHz. did I miss something?

  On the FPGA target, you can right click on the clock of 40 MHz and create a derived clock which can be a multiple where for a fraction of the base clock (40 MHz).

  160 MHz is a trivial example of 4 times the base clock.

• Transmission of data to the host of RT to the FPGA via DMA FIFO

  Hello

  I try to write data from a host of RT on target FPGA using DMA FIFO and then process these data and read then return of the FPGA target to the host of the CR through an another DMA FIFO. I'm working on the NI SMU chassis 1062 q, with the built-in NI SMU-8130 RT controller and target FPGA NI SMU-7965R.

  The problem I face is that I want to send three different tables, two of the same size and the third with different size, and I need one more small to be sent first to the FPGA. I tried to use encode dish with two executives in the FPGA VI. In the first image, I read and write the first table in a while loop which is finite (that is, a finite number of iterations). The second frame contains the process of reading and writing the second two tables (of the same size) in a while loop that can be finite or infinite (depending on a control). The problem is that it does not work. 2 arrays are displayed on the front panel of the RT VI host and works well, however, the table that should have been read in the first sequence does not appear on the front panel of the RT VI host. It is not sensible because if it is not passed from the host to the fpga and vice versa then the second image should not have been executed. Note that I'm wiring (-1) for the time-out period to block the while loop iterations until the passage of each item is completed. So the first while loop has only 3 iterations. Could someone help me undersdtand why this happens and how to fix this?

  I enclose a picture of the host and the fpga vi.

  Thank you.

  If you vote for my idea here and it is implemented, you can even omit the loop FOR fully.

  (I also propose the RE / IM divided inside the loop FOR and perform operations on complex table before the loop the transpose and reshape .) In this way, you only need one instance of these operations. You might even save some unnecessary allocations table in this way)

• Tests of changes in the fpga without reloading code

  I understand that after a fpga code is changed, it must be recharged in the fpga.  Is there a way to test the code fpga on PC without reloading the file bit in the fpga every time?  Thank you!

  Yes - with the right button on the FPGA target in the project and choose "run VI on...» "You can always run in simulated simulation with IO. Some devices take care of simulation with real IO so.  Of course it won't work not anywhere near the actual speed, but you can use the standard LabVIEW tools such as probes, highlighting the execution and debugging breakpoints.

• Cannot deploy when you use the FPGA configuration file

  Hi all

  I'm new to NI Veristand. We use a controller NIPXI 8108 with a map of FPGA OR 7841R. Is the used chassis OR PXI 1042 q. VeriStand does not deploy, when we try to add the target FPGA. For adding, we used the default for NOR 7841R provided with veristand FPGA configuration file. The error is attached! Without adding the FPGA target, we are able to deploy.

  We programmed with LabVIEW FPGA card and it works.

  Please help us!

  Thank you

  SID

  Hi Sid

  This is because the FPGA card is not connected through the chassis

  Right click on the (unidentified) PXI system and identify as PXI 1042 q.

  Right-click on the PXI-1042 q system and identify the PXI-8108 controller.

  Then it will automatically fill the devices under the controller

  Now try to deploy again. It will work

• Run code on the host target RT and FPGA

  Hi all

  I'm sorry if I ask a question to repeat. I searched for this a bit and couldn't find a solution.

  I'm trying to run a single VI (be it on RT compactRIO or on the connected host PC) and enforce the code on the host PC and target the FPGA code RT. I currently code that runs on the host PC computer that opens the FPGA reference and executes code FPGA, but I don't know how to do this with a VI on the target of RT. Any advice/help would be great. Thank you!

  Brandon

  You are not far from your goal. But you need to at least

  1. Update FPGA code (Bitfile) containing your code to run on the FPGA.
  2. An executable compiled for your goal of RT, which is set to autostart.
     You can use the code from my first post as a starting point. Compile, deploy and set it to autostart on your target of RT.
  3. An executable compiled for the host machine. that your user will begin.
     You can use the code in my first post, maybe load IP address, Port etc. of the Ini file settings.

  If you double-click on the exe file on your host computer it will open an application reference to your target computer of RT and call the VI on the target machine. This is how you run code on your RT. From this RT code you can download and run the FPGA (bitfile) to your FPGA code or control which is already running the FPGA by controlling a state machine code. Load more screws to your memory of RT targets and call them from your host to add more functionality if you need to.

• FPGA target 9146 OR editions variable defined by the user to a network

  I am developing code to use on the expansion chassis NI 9146 ethernet with 3 hanging modules, NI 9205, NI 9264 and NI 9476.

  The code is supposed to be downloaded on the chassis as FPGA code and run the code itself and the release of information on the network for the chassis, it is hanging in.  The code is simple (blood pressure measurement and convert them to pressure).

  When the code is on the host pc, it can be run through the target and runs correctly.  The pieces are just have thing chassis user FPGA 1 LED blink a few times per second, convert the voltage in pressure and variable output on the network and read some Boolean variables that are on the network.  All variables are not listed in the network in this way (by pressing the button run an FPGA VI compiled host) by pressing

  When the FPGA VI is downloaded to the flash memory chassis, configured to run once downloaded and restarting the device, the VI FPGA runs, because user FPGA 1 LED flashes on the specifided rate in the code, but variables do not put on the network.

  Attached are several screenshots of the code window and screen project.

  Thank you for your time

  Hello

  The FPGA cannot write to the variables by itself.  It is usually used to make a task of high speed.  In order to communicate with a host computer, you will need the code running on the controller that uses screws FPGA Interface.

• compilation process 'Map' FPGA failure failed

  Hi all

  We bought a new cRIO 9068 and I try to get installed it in a new project with some new maps. We have also improved our projects to LV2013 - sp1. I was unable to complete a compilation of the bitfile FPGA. It takes place during 25 minutes and when it will do the "Utilization, (map) of final device" it fails. Looks like I might be missing something, I have, but I have installed and reinstalled LV2013 and versions of Xilinx (10.1 and 13.4 or 14.4) which does not seem to solve the problem.

  Any ideas on what he seeks can be as useful as a search on 'Map' did not help.

  Thanks in advance.

  I found the solution. There are additional items on the WAY lead the FPGA Compiler for the installation of VS I have instead of the executable 'Map' that she needed. I removed the path to the VC\include directory and now it compiles. Probably screwed my VS, but that's another day.

• Internal error OR-farm - impossible to compile the FPGA VI

  Hello!

  When I try to compile any FPGA VI with LabVIEW2013 or 2012 SP1, I get the following error:

  "Year error occurred trying to connect to this server compilation."

  Details:

  Internal error OR the farm: Client Server received unexpected or bad data. »

  Intermediate files are not generated, the error message appears immediately after I have select build of build specification or I click the run arrow.

  I use the local server for compilation.

  The equipment I use: CompactRIO Evaluation Board - SbRIO9636, DELL laptop, Intel core2 Duo T5800, 2 GHz, 3 GB RAM, Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, SP1.

  The intermediate files CAN be generated without any problems if I select in the menu. If I run the FPGA application compile worker, a ToolTip message specifying that "FPGA compile runs", but after a few seconds, another message appears: newspaper several attempts were unsuccessful - please see attached images.

  At first, I thought that my firewall (Comodo 6.3) is the reason for this, so I disabled it but nothing changed. Then I tried to fix LabVIEW FPGA and XILINX tools with the firewall disabled but din do not solve the problem. I tried with LabVIEW SP1 of 2012 and 2013.

  If you have any suggestions, please let me know! Thank you!

• Disable the extended FIFO FPGA target during execution

  Hello

  I use a FIFO extended target in my FPGA to constantly calculate the derivative of a measured value (dB/dt). Thus the FIFO stores all values during time dt. This means dt determines the number of items in the FIFO and dB is determined by the actual value less the oldest value in the FIFO. It works well when I initialize with the code in figure InitFIFO.

  But the FIFO of compensation is not possible (see figure clearFIFO). In the while loop if "reset dB" is false, as the new value of B is written on the FIFO, then the oldest value is read from, for the number of items in the FIFO remain constant. To change dt during execution, I need to clear the FIFO and initialize it with a new length (number of items). I tried the next loop, but it does not work. The FIFO does not initilized with the elements. The length is zero and the loop counter for (#deltaB Length2) is 0.

  What I am doing wrong? Is there a better way to erase a FIFO during execution in the FPGA? I'm now stuck for 2 days with this problem and looking forward to any idea or suggestion.

  Thank you very much. Best regards

  Andy

  Hej,

  Thank you for your response. You were correct, that deltab FIFO length was 0 because the defalt value was zero. The problem is that in my host vi on the RT system I put DeltaB FIFO length in a loop of high priority and as you can see when I restart the FPGA, DeltaB FIFO length has a valid value (the code in figure 1 works well with a local variable of DeltaB FIFO length in the FPGA). But the variable to set the variable "reset dB" is under the control of the loop of low priority of the host vi. And there, I had an entry DeltaB FIFO length unwired.

  So, I learned that a control FPGA read/write unwired sends a '0' or resets the variable to its default value in the FPGA. I assumed that nothing is transferred and the last variable is retained if you let a control read/write unwired. Now, I learned of this stupid error!

  Thanks a lot again!

• Compilation of the variable results in LabVIEW FPGA

  Hello. I would ask why LabVIEW FPGA generates different results of compilation for the same code. When I compile several times my code, the maximum speed and total changes bitfile slices generated according to the compilation, but I does not alter with the FPGA VI. In addition, is the precise relationship of compilation? Thank you

  It's normal. The FPGA compiler starts to place pieces of code on the FPGA somewhat randomly and adjusts them until either the design adapts and responds to the criteria of the moment or there that the compiler determines that it cannot fit all the code and meet time constraints. The outputs that the FPGA VI generates when run will always be the same.
