FPGA : socketed CLIP

[Romain.C]

Hello,

I am currently using PXIe-7966R with IO module 6583.

For my application, i need to access FPGA I/O with a imported vhdl design. As a consequence, i try to use a socketed CLIP.

Following process from NI tutorial, i have imported a socketed CLIP ( for instance Ni6583ConnectorDdr.xml). But i cannot find a way to instantiate this CLIP as i have got the message:

"This CLIP Declaration is a socketed CLIP and it can only be instantiated in a socket."

From NI documentation, i have only found example for user-defined CLIP but not how to instanciate a socket and then a socketed CLIP. Can you define more precisely this procedure?

thanks in advance,

Romain C

Hello Romain,

Do you have an error code with this message?

In addition,what tutorial did you use, and at which step do you get this error?

Hi Romain,

For socketed CLIP it means it must replace one of the hardware CLIP sections in the project, in this case the module. This means where you choose which module you are using, you choose your CLIP instead.

I believe for it to come into the entry it must be stored in the right place on disk to appear in the lists in the dialog. You can see the path of the existing CLIPs in the dialog:

Cheers,

James

Why are trying to make a socketed CLIP rather than a User Defined CLIP? I would recommend using LV FPGA to take the data from the existing socketed CLIP that ships with the 6583 and route that data to your imported vhdl design via a User Defined CLIP.
