Veristand FPGA Configuration Editor (VCE) - Feedback

[Chuck_81]

Hi ElectricWrath,

I might have found a root cause for both of your issues:

1. The first, less problematic issue is with an FPGA config file not opening in the VCE: I've updated the VCE as there's a bug in the current version that is related to parameter management in U32 elements. solution: download the vCE 1.1 that will be uploaded asap
2. The second, and far more serious, problem is a config file that was created in VCE but throws an error when I try to add the FPGA target to my VS project: I've checked and packet 12 on the DMA_WRITE contains 2 PWM elements. As a single PWM element is 64 bit wide, you cannot include 2 PWM element in a single packet. solution: I'll send you an updated version of the fpgaconfig file in a PM
   

Let me know if this can help you.

Regards

Fabio

Awesome! That would explain why I keep getting the error about the packet length exceeding 64 bits! I'll grab the new version of VCE ASAP.

Thanks for the help!

Chuck,

I downloaded the 1.1.0 installer zip file, but it appears to be installing 1.0.3 instead. Am I missing something here?

[Chuck_81]

I've just uploaded the correct installer. I was missing to update the version numbers of both exe and installer. Now it should be fixed.

Can you also upload an version for LV 2013?

Hi,

I try updating an existing "*.fpgaconfig" file (that I have already use in the system explorer) with VCE 1.1 and it returns an error (537020).

It seems that the I16 channels shall not have parameters

When using the labview project, the error message is :

"

<append>

Line 40

The element I16  tried to make Parameters  a child element but is not allowd. Valid children are:

"

Can you attach the .fpgaconfig file? It seems that you tried to add a parameter (e.g. timeout for PWM reading) on a wrong channel. You'll see it if you manually open the .fpgaconfig file with a text editor and go to line 40 as stated in the error message.

Thanks

I attach the fpgaconfig file.

In line 40, I add parameters to a I16 channel.

Hi Thierry, sorry for getting back to you so lately.

Unfortunately, the current version of vce does not support setting/getting parameters on channels that are not PWM. I could add such feature on the next release that could be available by the end of may. Does it fit with your schedule?

Thanks

Hi

Thank you for your answer.

Currently, I can update my fpgaconfig file manually. VCE helps me to ease this handling.

But It could be nice to have this update for your next release
