Hi,
Is is possible to use the shared memory blocks ("Memory Read" and "Memory Write" VIs) from C interface?

Another question:
Can I use the FPGA both from LabView and C code at the same time? By C code I mean a C library that is called from within LabView.
Is the LabView FPGA session same as the session number for the C api?

Hi kentyman,
You are right, I was a bit confused about the memory blocks thing. It is now resolved.
I also managed to use the FPGA session simultaneously. Turns out that LabView copies the bitstream file to the project directory only after the VI has been run for the first time; therefore I was using the old file and received the Invalid argument error.
Thanks for help

Hello,
I got an C Interface for LVFPGA.zip file from NILABs, and I try to use it with cRIO. I refer the Getting started documents. It worte "use Generate C FPGA Interface.vi to regenerate the .h and .bin file" but, I could not find it in the C:\Program Files\National Instruments\NI Labs C FPGA Interface folder. I tried to install it another computer, it also has not that vi. Could you help me to find it??

changhee,
It sounds like you may have an older version of the installer. The latest version of the Getting Started document should reference .lvbitx files instead of .bin files. Also, in this version, you run capigen.exe rather than a VI. Try uninstalling your previous version, then re-download and install the latest version.

harBenger,
We should be able to get some examples in the next couple weeks. Until then, please refer to the included documentation. Also, the functions are basically ports of the LabVIEW FPGA Interface methods, so the LabVIEW documentation may also be helpful.

Thanks. Do you have any idea how easy it will be to integrate this interface into Visual Studio.NET?
