FPGA

[Sin_kva_]

Hei, I am new in LabVIEW Programming. We are running a project at the university and having some challenges with compiling.
We have to compile the FPGA every time we open the project. In the end of the day the folders are zipped, and then uploaded at dropbox. Next day the zipped file is downloaded, unzipped and open again, but then do we have to compile the FPGA again. Does anyone know the reason for this?

Thanks a lot!

Hi shk,

the bitfile created by compiling usually is located in a different path than the LabVIEW project.

When you ZIP your project folder you miss the bitfile and so have to recreate it the next day.

Possible solution: store the bitfile inside the project folder. To do so you have to change the compilation settings...

Thanks, GerdW!

Have a nice day! 🙂

Incidentally, if you're unzipping to a different path at any point, you might find this is an issue:
