Hello, I have a problem installing the fpga module on my computer with labview 2018 in windows 10
I found on the national instrument page that the xilinx that has support for windows 8 and up is Vivado, but computers with windows 7 use ISE
I also found a page where I can select which compactrio I have to labview but the crio 9012 does not appear in the list.
Will there be a problem installing the vivado? or what differences will I have with the Xilinx ISE that is already compiled on a computer with windows 7 to put the Xilinx Vivado on a computer with windows 10?
I leave the national instrument links that I mentioned above

Does the controller have the FPGA or does the backplane (see https://www.apexwaves.com/modular-systems/national-instruments/compactrio-controllers/cRIO-9012)? I know back then the hardware architecture may have been different.
Given the age of it, there is low chance it works with Vivado and ISE only works in Windows 7.
You may need to setup a Windows 7 for this. Or for compiling you can use NI Cloud Compile.

The 9012 is a very old controller. It has a Freescale MPC5200 PowerPC CPU and uses VxWorks. And the FPGA is not on the controller but in the separate backplane 9111 to 9118. This has a Xilinx Virtex 5 FPGA and that requires the Xilinx ISE compiler toolchain. Vivado only support the series 7 Xilinx families and higher.
