Error --63101 on NiFpga_Open() using LabVIEW FPGA C Interface

Hi all,

This is my very first time using the LabVIEW FPGA C Interface and I am getting the following error:

NON-FATAL RUN-TIME ERROR
Library function error (return value == -63101)

The code that I am trying to use is the following:

NiFpga_Session session;
 
/* must be called before any other calls */
    NiFpga_Status status = NiFpga_Initialize();
    
    if (NiFpga_IsNotError(status))
    {
        /* opens a session, downloads the bitstream, and runs the FPGA */
        NiFpga_MergeStatus(&status, NiFpga_Open("C:\\" NiFpga_Counter_Bitfile,
                                                NiFpga_Counter_Signature,
                                                "RIO0",
                                                0,
                                                &session));
    }

I looked the error up in the "NiFpga.h" and it says that either the bitfile is not valid or may be not compatible with the software I am using. However, I am using LabWindows/CVI 2013 and NI FPGA Interface C API 13.0. Also, I used LabVIEW 2013 to make the bitfile. Any help would be appreciated...

Thanks in advance,

Enrique

Hi!

The problem was finally fixed by simply modifying the resource name, from "RIO0" to "rio://10.0.0.2/RIO0" 🙂
