Hi ezzemon,

Currently the LabVIEW FPGA Module can only target National Instruments' own FPGA products.  Therefore we do not have a driver that will support other boards with FPGA's.  Sorry if this isn't what you wanted to hear!

If you are at a university that has a site license for the FPGA module, the following might be of interest to you:

Using LabVIEW FPGA with the Xilinx SPARTAN-3E XUP Starter Kit

See also this discussion.

Quote from the license agreement:
...INSTALLATION AND USE OF THE LABVIEW FPGA TARGET MODULE FOR THE XILINX SPARTAN-3E STARTER BOARD (THE “TARGET MODULE”) IS LIMITED TO ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS THAT HAVE A VALID, CURRENT “ACADEMIC TEACHING LICENSE” FROM NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS FOR THE LABVIEW FPGA MODULE. THIS TARGET MODULE MAY ONLY BE USED FOR INSTRUCTIONAL PURPOSES, SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT THAT ACCOMPANIES THE SOFTWARE...

ezzemon,

I apologize - I should have been more specific and inquired about your academic status.  As altenbach has pointed out, this is a special case which is only for use by Academic Institutions.  This is usually set up through contacts at the academic institution, and not just directly pointed to online.  Do carefully read the full license agreement to see if it applies to your situation.  Also, you will want to ask any contacts you have at the academic institution for more information.

Cheers!

Hi Jeyaseelan,

 

It looks like our download has been updated to 8.6, and the 8.5 download is no longer there.  Since this piece of software is kind of a special case, I will look into this for you and let you know what I can find out.

 

cheers,

Hi Jeyaseelan,

 

We have temporarily put the 8.5 version up for download here.  Again, this download will only be temporary.

Hi Brinoceros,

 

I would like to download the 8.5 version too, but the temporary link is dead now. Is it possible to download it? Just forXmas... 🙂
