A Graphical Approach to FPGA Programming Tutorial

Presented by Christian Amadasun, National Instruments

In this session you will learn how to use the LabVIEW FPGA Module to program the NI FlexRIO. The following topics will be discussed:

    •    Elements of the FPGA environment (Memory, FIFO’s, Clocks, I/O Nodes, logic)
    •    Optimizing your LabVIEW FPGA VI using parallel execution and pipelining
    •    The Single Cycle-Timed Loop
    •    Importing pre-existing VHDL IP in the LabVIEW FPGA environment
    •    Simple Debugging techniques

Through-out the session the use of the software environment as well as code samples will be presented. The session is ended with a simple hardware and software demonstrated.
