sbRIO-9609 not able to compile CAN & FPGA RMC IO in the same VI?

Solved!
Go to solution

I am currently trying to utilize the CAN Port and the GPIOs on the RMC connector of a sbRIO-9609 at the same time, without any success yet. To illustrate my issue I have used the sbRIO CAN Programmatic Configuration.lvproj (examples\CompactRIO\Chassis Specific\sbRIO Onboard CAN Communication\sbRIO Onboard CAN Programmatic Configuration) example from the Example Finder and extended it by adding a Read I/O node for RMC Pins in a second loop.

When I try to build the VI with only the CAN Implementation it works, the moment I add the RMC I/Os it fails.

 

Any suggestions or ideas what is going wrong here?

 

I am using LabVIEW 2020 SP1 (32 Bit) + Vivado 2019.1 + RIO-Driver 20.5

 

The error log shows issues with the Tcan4550*.vhd implementation:

Hi wromeo,

We've got a known issue with mixing CAN and RMC I/O in the same FPGA bitfile right now. The compiler is picky about what order the resources are compiled in. Luckily, there's a way you can force the compilation order to work properly.

In your .lvproj file, you'll want to drag the CAN item underneath the RMC Socket item, as shown in the image below:

Hi NickelsAndDimes,

 

just some trials later playing with the xlinx options and regenerating the intermediate files finally did work. Nevertheless, when is it planned to fix this problem?

 

thanks for your response, I tried now several times (screenshot below). Changing the order does not do much to my problem. Furthermore your screenshot shows sbRIO-9603, I am using a sbRIO-9609. Also your LabVIEW version is prior to LabVIEW 2020 SP1. Also notice that the CAN driver for the sbRIO-9609 was not available in prior LabVIEW versions (especially not in LabVIEW 2019).

Hi wromeo,

Like I said, there's a known issue. I have not yet attempted to reproduce your issue because it matches the known behavior. This behavior is consistent across multiple sbRIO devices with the same architecture, including both 9603 and 9609. I just happened to have that screenshot handy from the last time I helped someone with this issue.

Also, the job title in my signature is misleading, it is not my job to respond to posts on this forum. I am responding because I want to help you, not because I have to. Being snarky about the quality of my assistance doesn't make me more excited to help you.

I see you're using the 9694 digital breakout RMC board. I was under the impression that you were using a custom RMC with a CLIP that you had generated yourself, and a CAN port in that CLIP. I suspect that it's related to the same root cause, but the details might be slightly different with the digital RMC. I'll need to talk to a couple of people on the driver side to get their thoughts.

This trick of moving the CAN0 resource under the RMC Socket doesn't work. I tried opening up the Example LVproj sbRIO CAN Programmatic Configuration. It has a sbRIO 9609 as well and it gives the same error in both locations.

I was having these same issues and errors. Turns out I had to move the c series modules above the CAN port as shown below
