Hi everyone,
I’m experiencing an issue with a numeric conversion on the FPGA: from FXP to SGL.
The control board I use is the PED-Board which is equipped with the NI System on Module (formally sbRIO-9651).
I have some parts of the code written in FXP, and now in order to leverage the code portability and control performance I converted the numeric values to SGL. I used the floating-point toolkit recompiled for the SoM.
It seems that a conversion from FXP to SGL and vice versa takes a non-negligible FPGA resources. Probably it would be better to rewrite the code completely in SGL.
Has everyone been experiencing this?
Thanks a lot,
