Problems building a project with VST 5646R

[ant77]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to build a project with a VST 5646R a resource. The compilation doesn't even start and I get this error:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

An internal software error has occurred. Please contact National Instruments technical support at ni.com/support with the following information:

Error 7 occurred at Read from Text File in niFpgaCodeGeneration_GetBuildResultsXML.vi->niFpgaErrorDialog_ReadErrorData.vi->niFpgaGenerateCode_ErrorDialog.vi

Possible reason(s):

LabVIEW: File not found. The file might be in a different location or deleted. Use the command prompt or the file explorer to verify that the path is correct.
=========================
NI-488: Nonexistent GPIB interface.

C:\NIFPGA\compilation\Parrot_FPGATarget_NewParrot_CCpa-n-4f3I\BuildResults.lvtxt

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't  undestand what the error means, wich file is not found??

BuildResults.lvtxt ?? It should be an output produced by Build.

I translated this project from another one using the 5645R and it works fine. I don't undestand what's happening

Here is a shot in the dark.

The 5646R has a different Data Clock (125MHz) than the 5645R Sample Clock (120MHz). I wonder if as the project were converted to the 5646R the clocks in the LV Project as well as in the FPGA VIs got properly recreated.

You can refer to the 5646R Sample Projects to see what clocks are to be used with the 5646R.

I recreated the project from scratch the new resource and added the proper clocks ... I think.

Anyway inside the build directory there is a error file in which is written that the assigne clock domain is not correct, but it is very general, there are not other useful information.

I've tried to think what else could fix this, but don't have any good ideas.

Did you find a way to get around this? All I can think of are the basic things of reinstall software, try a different compile server, start with a very basic example.

After talking with local NI field engineer we discovered that some variables in the interface did not have the "expected" name. He advised us to build a new project starting from a default streaming template and removing unused parts.

We haven't tried yet, but I suppose that it'll work.

Thanks

Thanks for posting back. Hope that takes care of it.

Those built-in project templates are really there for your benefit! I would really think hard about "Just rolling my own" without a very good reason.

Spoiler

When I DID "Roll my own" VST Project Template- NI had not yet published the ones that ship-  Never start a VST Project without some project template!
