Can I implement a Labview FPGA Program on a Xilinx FPGA ?

[xdumoulin]

Hi,

I'm actually working on a Xilinx program in VHDL. I'd wish to begin again a part of this program, and it will be easier for me to create it with Labview FPGA.

My idea is to create a sub program in my existing VHDL program, and make this sub program thanks to Labview FPGA.

I know we can't get the VHDL code create by Labview to download it on another FPGA (because Labview FPGA is only for use on Xilinx). But I'd wish to download my program on a Xilinx Virtex 2 Pro.

So, is there a solution to integrate my Labview FPGA program as a sub program in my VHDL code (for a Xilinx FPGA) ?

Thank you

Xavier

Hi xdumoulin,
There is no way to implement what you want. You can call a VHDL code with LabVIEW using HDL interface node:

But you can't include a LabVIEW code inside a VHDL code.

Another thing is the target: you need a NI device to use a LabVIEW FPGA code. So you have to continue to develop the VHDL code on your Xilinx device. Antoher solution is to have a NI FPGA device (R series, cRIO) and use LabVIEW FPGA.

Hi.

I'm student Universitary, I'm doing a project in which I use FPGA xilinx module.

I'll wish to know if I could record this using the tool LABVIEW FPGA and I'd like to Know if I can use the xilinx's FPGA for this project or I must use FPGA of Natinal Instruments?
