NI Digital Electronics FPGA Breadboard's UCF

[Dominic9212]

Good day..i've been using Xilinx ISE 14.3 to program my NI Digital Electronics FPGA board and i want to use some FPGA GPIO lines placed on the Breadboard1(BB1) area...how can i create my UCF file to use this GPIO.??

Hi Dominic9212,

Thanks for posting at NI forums! You can find the DEFB.ucf file in the LabVIEW or Multisim distribution. The locations are listed below:

C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\Circuit Design Suite xx\pldconfig\DEFB.ucf depending on your operating system.

or in LabVIEW:

<labview>\Targets\NI\FPGA\DEFB\FPGAFiles\DEFB.ucf

Do you have access to any of these programs?

thank u for d response.

i'm using a labview 2012,

but i dont have this directory (<labview>\Targets\NI\FPGA\DEFB\FPGAFiles\DEFB.ucf)..

do i need to install labview fpga module 2012??

Hi Dominic,

Yes, you need the FPGA module.

Hey Dominic,

I just want to be clear... if you're trying to use LabVIEW to target the board, you will need the LabVIEW FPGA Module. If you're just using ISE, you can use the UCF attached below to enumerate all of the pins on the device. Since our forum system won't let me upload a .ucf, I posted it as a .txt... just change the extension or copy/paste the pins you need into your project's .ucf.
