Two FPGA targets, one RT app

[derek@clustr.vi]

I have one RT application that EITHER communicates with one Eight slot FPGA chassis or one Four slot FPGA chassis depending on the system configuration.  I want my RT app to be able to determine which target is present and download the appropriate bitstream. How can this be done?

Hi Derek,

A quick and easy way to do this would be to just query the backplane Model Name before opening a reference to the FPGA.  You could do this with VISA as in the attached image and then select the apropriate bitstream.



Regards,

Steve
