LabVIEW FPGA: Integration node clock wrong

• LabVIEW FPGA CLIP node compilation error

  Hello NO,.

  I work on an application for my Single-Board RIO (sbRIO-9601) and faced with a compile error when I try to compile my FPGA personality via the ELEMENT node.  I have two .vhd files that I declare in my .xml file and all at this point works great.  I add the IP-level component to my project and then drag it to the VI I created under my FPGA.

  Within the FPGA personality, I essentially have to add some constants on the indicators and entries CLIP to my CLIP out and attempt to save/compile.  With this simple configuration, I met a compilation error (ERROR: MapLib:820 - symbol LUT4... see report filling for details on which signals were cut).  If I go back to my VI and delete indicators on the output (making the output pin of the CLIP connected to nothing), compiles fine.

  I've included screenshots, VHDL and LV project files.  What could be causing an indicator of the output of my VI to force compilation errors?

  Otherwise that it is attached to the output ELEMENT, a successful compilation...

  

  After that the output indicator comes with CLIP, compilation to fail...

  

  NEITHER sbRIO-9601
  LabVIEW 8.6.0
  LabVIEW FPGA
  Windows XP (32-bit, English)
  No conflicting background process (not Google desktop, etc.).

  Usually a "trimming" error gives to think that there are a few missing IP.  Often, a CLIP source file is missing or the path specified in the XML file is incorrect.

  In your case I believe that there is an error in the XML declaration:

  
    1.0
    RandomNumberGenerator
   
      urng_n11213_w36dp_t4_p89.vhd
      fifo2.vhd
   

  This indicates LV FPGA to expect a higher level entity called "RandomNumberGenerator" defined in one of two VHDL files.  However, I couldn't see this entity in one of two files.  If urng_n11213_w36dp_t4_p89 is the top-level entity, edit the XML to instead set the HDLName tag as follows:

  urng_n11213_w36dp_t4_p89

  Also - in your XML, you set the 'oBits' music VIDEO for output as a U32, however the VHDL port is defined as a vector of bits 89:

  oBits: out std_logic_vector (89-1 downto 0)

  These definitions must match and the maximum size of the vector CLIP IO is 32, so you have to break your oBits in three exits U32 output.  I have added the ports and changed your logic of assignment as follows:

  oBits1(31 downto 0)<= srcs(31="" downto="">
  oBits2(31 downto 0)<= srcs(63="" downto="">
  oBits3(31 downto 0)<= "0000000"="" &="" srcs(88="" downto="">

  Both of these changes resulted in a successful compilation.

  Note: The only compiler errors when you add the flag because otherwise your CUTTING code is optimized design.  If the IP is instantiated in a design, but nothing is connected to its output, it consumes all logic?  Most of the time the FPGA compiler is smart enough to get it out.

• Integration of IP node evil in LabVIEW FPGA

  Hi all

  I am having trouble with the integration of LabVIEW FPGA IP option and was hoping someone could shed some light here.

  I use a simple VHDL code for a bit, 2: 1 MUX in order to familiarize themselves with the integration of IP for the LabVIEW FPGA.

  In the IP properties of the context node, the syntax checking integration says:

  ERROR: HDLParsers:813 - "C:/NIFPGA/iptemp/ipin482231194540D2B0CC68A8AF0F43AAED/TwoToOneOneBitMux.vhd", line 15. Enumerated value U is absent from the selection.

  but I'm still able to compile. Once the node is made and connected, I get the arrow to run the VI but when I do, I get a build errors in Code Pop up that says:

  The selected object is only supported inside the single-cycle Timed loop.

  Place a single cycle timed loop around the object.

   

  The selected object in question is my IP integration node.

  I add a loop timed to the node, but even if I am able to run the VI, it nothing happens. the output does not illuminate regardless of the configuration.

  I would say that I tried everything, but I can't imagine would be the problem might be at this point given that everything compiles and the code is so simple.

  I have attached the VI both VHDL code. Please let me know if any problems occur following different boards of the FPGA.

  Would be really grateful for the help,

  Yusif Nurizade

  Hey, Yusif,.

  Looks that you enter in the loop timed Cycle and never, leave while the indicator of Output never actually is updated. Try a real constant of wiring to the break of the SCTL condition. Otherwise, you could spend all controls/indicators inside the SCTL and get rid of the outside while loop. You can race in the calendar of meeting bad in larger designs without pipeling or by optimizing the code if you take this approach, however.

• Move from LabVIEW FPGA block of ram address to node CLIP?

  Hello

  I need to pass an index memory RAM of LabVIEW FPGA block to a CLIP node to the node CLIP to have access to the data in the BRAM.  The node of the ELEMENT contains an IP address that we developed and the IP address is the use of Xilinx BRAM driver to access data.  I guess that we need to move the physical address of the BRAM to the ELEMENT node.

  Is this possible? If so, how? If this is not the case, what would be an alternative?

  Thank you

  Michel

  If I understand you correctly, Yes, you should be able to use the memory block of the Xilinx pallet Builder in LabVIEW FPGA and in the loop of the single Cycle, connect the ports of this block signals CLIP exposed by the IP of your colleague. You may need to tweak/adapt some of the signals slightly to the LabVIEW data flow.

• Use of FIFO memory on two areas of clock (Labview FPGA) block

  Greetings!

  I'm developing an application on the FPGA of the vector signal OR 5644R
  transmitter/receiver. I have two loops single-cycle timed: a 40 MHz making a convolution
  and writing a FIFO memory block and the second at 120 MHz (sample clock)
  who reads from block FIFO memory and uses the following values
  interpolation...

  Under what circumstances is it permissible to use a FIFO memory block to transfer

  values of a loop from 40 MHz to a loop of 120 MHz (sample clock)?

  The reason I ask the question, it is that the compilation of my code repeatedly of not
  reported the error below:

  ERROR: HDLCompiler:69 - "/ opt/apps/NIFPGA/jobs/J9k7Gwc_WXxzSVD/Interface.vhd" line 193: is not declared.

  I share for everyone's reference, screenshots of my code which is an extension of

  sample 'Project streaming VST' given in NI5644R. A brief description of attachments is

  given below...

  1. "Top_level_FPGA_part1_modification.png": in a loop SCTL 120 MHz, a sub - vi bed FPGA

  go a block FIFO memory... In fact, the reading is actually made when entry

  "read_stream" is activated... (see details in read_from_fifo_true_case.png)

  2. "Top_level_FPGA_part2_modification.png": a 40 MHz SCTL, wherein is a subvi FPGA

  called to write the output of convolution to block FIFO memory.

  3. "target_respone_fpga_block_FIFO_modification.png": an output of a convolution filter is

  written in block FIFO memory each time that the convolution output is available...

  'ReadBlockFIFO' VI (circled in Top_level_FPGA_part1) is invoked in a 120 MHz SCTL.

  4. "read_from_fifo_false_case.png": when the input "read_stream' of this vi is false,

  data transfer memory FIFO of block to a different FIFO ('generation filter") takes

  place.

  5. "read_from_fifo_true_case.png": when the "read_stream' is set to true, the data is read in

  'Filter generation' FIFO and spent on the chain of later interpolation to the

  120 MHz SCTL...

  I hope that the attachments give enough clarity to what I'm doing... If we need

  For more information, do not hesitate to ask...

  Kind regards

  S. Raja Kumar

  Greetings!

  I think I understand the problem... The error probably occurs because a DMA FIFO

  (FPGA host) is playing at 40 MHz, and it is checked for the number of items in a loop

  120 MHz... It is not captured by the "pre-processing" by the labview FPGA, but by the Xilinx

  compilation phase synthesis tool.

  A lesson I share, is that if you observe this kind of problem, watch if there is incompatibility

  in the areas of the clock to access a FIFO...

• Question for LabVIEW FPGA DRAM

  Hi all

  How can I correctly address the 128 - bit DRAM memory?  I have the Bank DRAM 0 set as a memory of 128 bits, set up in my design as a CLIP.  I realize it's a wide RAM on 32-bit.  I had a National Instruments AE do the original design I've been adding to.  He said that the addresses needed to incrementing by four with each entry.  Example: if I had to write in consecutive addresses, I would write to the address: 0, 3, 7, 11, 15 etc, and I would like to send 128 bits to each address.  My address is calculated as: (number of pixels in a line of video + line * (number of pixels per line) for a picture of the video).  So I take my calculated address and add 4.

  However, I checked an example in the finder example: example of integrity hardware flexRIO/IO/external memory/memory.  In this example, 128-bit data is sent to the memory and the address is incremented by 1 (instead of 4) each cycle clock as valid data.

  Who is this?  Section of the help for this function is ambiguous.

  Sets the address in external memory for reading or writing. The physical data bus for external memory is 32 bits wide (4 bytes). Each unique address value represents 4 bytes of data. Therefore, the total number of unique addresses in external memory is equal to (Memory Size in bytes)/4.  
  
  Note  The memory interface exposed to LabVIEW FPGA is 128 bits wide. As a result, each memory write or read operation accesses four different address locations in memory. The memory controller latches this signal value only when you issue a new memory write command by asserting the Command_Write_Enable signal.
  

  I'm confused by the 2nd paragraph "every Scripture memory or read operation four access address locations of memory."  Does that mean I increment the address by 1 to get 128 consecutive bits 'locations' (Yes, I know, that's 4 words of 32 bits in memory), or do I increment the address by 4, in the order of words of 32 bits 4 by 128-bit single transfer?

  Thanks for your help.

  -J

  Hello J,

  I want to clarify my previous post.  There are two ways to access memory DRAM, CLIP (that you have described is what you do) and using the memory node.  As noted before, the DRAM is 128 bits wide.  When you write to the CLIP you basically write pieces that is the width of the databus (in this case 32-bit).  Therefore, when you write a total of 128-bit DRAM, you place 32 bits in each address.  The address being the width of the databus, then you write with a writing & the address 0, 1, 2, 3.  Then the next write will be 4, 5, 6, & 7 and then address 8, 9, 10, & 11 and so on.  In this case, you must increment your address by 4 whenever you write.  Note that you start at 0, then 4, then 8, etc 12.  In your previous post, you were out of a figure.

  There is also another way to write in the DRAM memory, and it is through the node of memory, which is what is used in the example that you are pointing out.  Here, LabVIEW takes on some of the thought, and instead of being the width of the databus address, they are the width of the entire segment of 128 bits.  So when you write to DRAM here, you only increment 1 whenever address because they refer to any segment of memory.  This contrast with the CLIP, address 0 of the memory node interface match the addresses 0, 1, 2, 3 in CLIP mode & and address 1 of the memory node would correspond to 4, 5, 6, 7 in CLIP mode addresses &.  If you do not write an integer of 128 bits for the memory node, then the remaining addresses in the data block are filled with "junk" so that the address remains constant.

  As I mentioned previously, it is the most effective writing in chucks of 128 bits so that you don't waste all of the DRAM.  I hope you find this explanation clearer.

• Model a block synchronous dual-port RAM with LabVIEW FPGA

  This question caught my attention recently.

  I am trying to model a particular design element called "RAMB4_S8_S8" with the LabVIEW FPGA module. This element is a block synchronous dual-port RAM allowing simultaneous access to two ports independently from each other. That being said, a port can perform read/write operation to this RAM while at the same time, the other port might be able to do the same thing. There are two opportunities of possible port conflict, however. The first is when both ports are trying to write to the same memory cell. The other scenario is when a port writes in a cell memory while at the same time the other port reads from it. Other than that, everything should be a legitimate operation.

  In order to reproduce this I select memory block that is integrated into my FPGA target. An interface is configured to be the playback mode, and the other is set to write fashion. For the option of arbitration, I let the two interfaces to be "arbitrate if several applicants only. Then I got a compiler error when I tried to run my FPGA code for this model in a SCTL. The error message is something like "several objects to request access to a resource through a resource configured with option interface" arbitrate if several applicants only ", which is supported only in the single-cycle Timed loop if there is only a single applicant by interface.

  This error goes away if I replace the SCTL with a simple while loop, but not what I would like to implement. So I wonder if there is a better solution to this problem, or is it just the limitation of the LabVIEW FPGA module.

  Thank you.

  Yes, you can use a form of conduct to perform the operations you want in the generations clock cycles, but all the code is inside a single SCTL. Basically, read the first address and storing in a register in a single cycle and then read the second address in the second clock cycle. This would allow you to two readings of valid memory every clock cycle 2. I have included a crude extract to illustrate the concept. The case selectors are identical with address A being connected to the memory in the true case, B in the case of fake address. Your biggest model memory dual port will be intact, but it will operate at 1/2 rate.

  Take a look at the white paper that provides more details on the construction of memory:

  Data on a target FPGAS (FPGA Module)

  The ball on the memory block indicates that memory block double port cannot be applied in a configuration of reading, which is a double ROM. access read/write port must be imitated with custom code.

• LabVIEW FPGA, 2015 compilation error

  I've recently switched to LabVIEW 2015 and I'm working on OR myRIO. So also installed myRIO 2015 bundled software. The problem I have is that the compilation of fpga fails within 10 seconds.

  

  and the target Xilinx journal report is empty

  

  The first time when I tried to compile on 2015 version, it failed and the message box that failed came alongwith the avast antivirus warning for malicious activity. I reported it as wrong and now I tried several times with avast shield disabled control, but the results are the same. While the version of labVIEW 2014 works very well.

  Now, I'm sure that there is something wrong with the installation of Vivado because this dll is part of it. The dll must be default in the2014_4\lib\win32.o directory C:\NIFPGA\programs\Vivado if you are using an operating system for 32-bit AND also in C:\NIFPGA\programs\Vivado2014_4\lib\win64.o If you use a 64-bit operating system. If the dll is not here, it is probably that the anti virus (I've never seen what happens to Xilinx but I have for other stuff).

  I'm emphasizing the 2014_4 because LabVIEW 2015 uses Vivado 2014_4 while 2014 LabVIEW uses Vivado 2013_4. Since you have also installed LabVIEW 2014, you must have 2013_4 as well and if it works, you will find the dll I just wanted you make sure you check the correct directory for the Vivado 2014_4.

  Download and install (reinstall or repair if already installed) 2015 LabVIEW FPGA Module Xilinx tools Vivado 2014.4. You can also use the DVD Setup if you have. It would be a good idea to do the installation with the disabled and even anti-virus try the first compilation the same. Try and let me know if the problem persists.

  Kind regards

• Internal software error of LabVIEW FPGA Module - 61499

  I get the error next (in a pop-up window) in the phase of sompilation for the FPGA target with a vhdl IP. This error continues to occur even after restart LabVIEW and the PC. Someone at - it solved is this kind of problem before without having to re - install the software?

  Here is the error information:

  Error-61499 occurred at niFpgaXml_GetValue_String.vi<><><><>

  Possible reasons:

  LabVIEW FPGA: An internal software error in the LabVIEW FPGA Module has occurred. Please contact National Instruments technical support on ni.com/support.

  Additional information: lack the tag required XML (/ CompileServerList)

  As a first step, I can compile the vhdl IP node successfully. However, once when I'm running a VI with the FPGA, the bureau stop working. After that I restarted by force, it cannot perform the build of a vhdl IP node. Even without connecing to the jury of LabView, he pointed out errors before the end of the sompilation.

  Interestingly, the screw which also includes nodes IP vhdl that I properly compiled before, I can still run the VI to the Commission and it works correctly.

  Thank you

  Looks like your ActiveJobsList somehow has been corrupted. I saw occur when computers are hard stop or blue screen during compilation. I don't have that LabVIEW 2014 installed on my machine, so your path will be a little different, and the file extension will be a .txt or .xml instead of .json, but try this:

  Move the file "C:\Program Files (x 86) \National Instruments\LabVIEW 2014\vi.lib\rvi\CDR\niFpgaActiveJobList.json" (or your equivalent) out of the above directory (back it upward and delete essentially) and restart LabVIEW. Must regenerate the file and resolve the problem.

• How to measure the frequency of sampling (s/s) in LabView FPGA?

  Hello

  I am trying to find a way to measure the sampling frequency (s/s) during which I read from analog input in LabVIEW FPGA. I know that the sampling frequency is specified in the data sheet of the module HAVE, but I want to measure in LabVIEW.

  Any suggestions?

  A screenshot of the example code would be greatly appreciated

  Hey phg,.

  If you have some time loopand in this loop, you export a sample by iteration of loop via an I/O node. You can't out two samples on the same I/O node within an iteration, it's always one!

  So if your loop takes 1 second to run you have a sampling rate of 1 Hz output. The same goes for sampling of entry. How long your loop takes to run can be calculated as explained above.

  Samplerate [s / s] = 1 / [s] while loop

• LabVIEW FPGA: Problem compiling look-up Table

  Current versions of software:

  LabVIEW 2014 SP1

  LabVIEW FPGA 2014

  Xilinx Vivado

  I'm having a huge problem in trying to compile my LabVIEW FPGA code.

  Some recall of the code:

  It's all in a SCTL.

  I am streaming in a FIFO DMA and comparing it with the values previously stored in the shift registers (which are initialized to 0 at the start of the loop) in the SCTL.

  The results of the comparison are then piled into a U16 and loaded into a lookup table (I use the LUT - 1 d), and I'm so help this LUT to decide what value will be charged to travel to record for the next iteration of the loop, which, in any case, would be either the current values of the flow, or the post previous registry value.

  (It's a triage loop)

  I am able to run very well in simulation mode code, but when I try to compile, I get this error:

  "The selected object has a built-in shift register that makes the output on a particular loop iteration correspond to the entries in the previous iteration."

  Connect the outputs of the object directly to a minimum number of nodes of Feedback or uninitialized shift registers. You cannot connect the outputs to another object.

  See using LabVIEW for more information on the objects with registers embedded offset. »

  Someone at - it ideas why this happens, and what might be the possible solutions?

  I'm tempted to break it down into separate loops, but I prefer not to because it is now a loop (and working in my simulation).

  I found my problem.

  Any time that a LUT is in a chain shift register, it cannot:

  1. be part of a string of shift register that has a variable initialized

  2. follow-up to no decisive structure, like a box structure.

  I just moved the position of LUT and it works.

  Hi dvaldez2.

  LabVIEW FPGA offers no support for any material to third parties, other than the 3rd Spartan XUP Starter Kit. These are probably the drivers you downloaded.

  http://digital.NI.com/express.nsf/bycode/Spartan3E?OpenDocument&lang=en&node=seminar_US

  However, this driver supports only the Starter Kit Board itself (http://www.digilentinc.com/Products/Detail.cfm?NavPath=2, 400, 790 & Prod = S3EBOARD). You may not use the driver with any other Xilinx FPGAS.

  I hope this helps.
