Overview
The example demonstrates how to use the NI System Configuration API to deploy a FPGA bitfile to multiple remote targets.
Description
Before using a FPGA with LabVIEW there has to be a bitfile deployed to the FPGA. There are two main courses of action for that:
The knowledgebase article How Can I Have My FPGA VI Run At Boot? describes how to achieve option (2) manually. The example however demonstrates a programmatic approach to option (2) that can be used to flash a FPGA bitfile to multiple targets at once and therefore saving time if multiple FPGAs have to be flashed.

Hello Everyone,
Using VST 5644R.
Can i use this method for VST 5644R.
1. Is it possible to burn the bitfile (Bitfile path, programmatically) not using open FPGA VI reference).
2. In the Open FPGA VI reference we are entering the bitfile path in the dialog box(manually), but i wanna burn the bitfile programmatically not manually.
3. I have tried the system configuration API called Update Firmware, got error
Error -2147467263 occurred at nisyscfg.lvlib:Upgrade Firmware (File).vi:4770001
Possible reason(s):
LabVIEW: (Hex 0x80004001) Not implemented.
=========================
NI System Configuration: (Hex 0x80004001) This operation is not implemented for this target or resource.
Complete call chain:
nisyscfg.lvlib:Upgrade Firmware (File).vi:4770001
RT Deploy using System Configuration API.vi
But not able to resolve the issue.
Can anybody please help me regarding this issue.
Thanks in advance.
Hi LV_COder,
I'm fairly certain that the system configuration API will not work for the VST. As the error implies, the operation of updating the firmware (which is the operation that downloads and installs the new bitfile) is not supported on the VST.
Cheers
Thanks AgentAstronaut,
Yes this API does not support by the VST.
I have got the VI ford dynamic loading of bitfile and its being worked fine.
Open dynamic bitfile reference function.
