How to create a virtual FPGA and run LabVIEW code on it?

[Creation]

Hi

I am new to LabVIEW FPGA world. I have code written in LV 8.6 that was running on a Virtex 5. I need to run this code on a virtual FPGA but I need this to be as real as possible and maybe to acces this virtual FPGA also from another environment. Do you think this can be done? I need just a general answer to have an idea on this problem.

Thanks

If I've understood correctly, you have LabVIEW code written for an FPGA and running on an NI FPGA board, which you'd now like to run in a simulated system.  I doubt this is possible since I don't think there is a way for you to simulate all the hardware (DAQ and whatever else) that is attached to the FPGA on the real hardware.  Also, LabVIEW doesn't have any way of accessing an arbitrary non-NI FPGA target and without the LabVIEW interface I don't think your FPGA code will be too useful.

You are right. I also disscused this with some coleagues with more experience. We decided to make a simulation that will replace also the LabView code.

Thanks.
