NI USB 7845R SPI protocol

Solved!
Go to solution

Hi,

 

This is my first post, so please excuse my ignorance on any NI products and forum rules. I'm a university student and for my thesis project I want to use the NI USB 7845R with Kintex FPGA (http://www.ni.com/en-ca/support/model.usb-7845.html) in the lab to serve as an SPI master and send the baseband signal data I generated in MATLAB to my mixed-signal chip.

 

My chip has a Serial-In Parallel-Out (SIPO) register and an FSM that serves as a SPI controller. The SPI logic has been synthesized and tested using Verilog testbenches after place&route. In my testbench there, I wrote Verilog code that acted as an SPI master to verify correct data transmission. Now that I want to perform real-time chip characterization, I have to use the NI USB 7845R along with LabView to communicate with my chip. Thus, I was wondering, if NI provides some add-on for LabView that can implement the SPI protocol and configure the device accordingly.

 

Thank you in advance.
