Provide VHDL behavioral models of NI standard Flex RIO interface modules

Status: New

This has been a huge frustration in my development.  There is no way to debug a Flex RIO + NI1483 FPGA design other than to tweak, compile, and test with actual hardware.  NI should provide a VHDL behavioral simuation of all of their modules so that full end-to-end simulation can be performed using advanced simulators such as ModelSim.  This would facilitate a much more robust FPGA development cycle for their customers who have these types of tools available.

 

For the NI1483, a VHDL simulation combined with a VHDL Camera Link behavioral model would be even better.  But the CameraLink model could be developed by the customers as it (At least) is a standard or can be gleened from camera manufacturer documentation.
