Hi there,
I have a question regarding the behaviour of FIFO.Stop method when using the FPGA C API.
* The documentation for the FIFO.Stop (Invoke Method, FPGA modul) explicitly states this :
"Stops the DMA data transfer between the FPGA target and the host computer. This method deletes all data from the host memory and FPGA parts of the FIFO. "
http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371599P-01/lvfpgahost/fpga_method_fifo_stop/
* However the documentation for the FPGA C API equivalent function NiFpga_StopFifo states only this
"Stops a FIFO. This method is optional."
NiFpga_Status NiFpga_StopFifo(NiFpga_Session session, uint32_t fifo)
source : FPGA C API help file.
https://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/372928H-01/capi/fpgac/
My concerns:
FPGA modul's FIFO.Stop method deletes all data from the host memory and FPGA parts of the FIFO.
I would like to know if this is the case also when using the FPGA C API?
In fact I would need the functionality of deleting the data also from FPGA part.
My questions.
1. Is there already a feature parity between FPGA modul and FPGA C API or the problem
is only the FPGA C API help file is very old from 2014 and not updated ?
2. Any plans to update this help file?
Thank you for any clarifications.
Mike
