LabVIEW FPGA Compile Server Errors

Issue Details

Solution

There are a few possible causes of these issues. To resolve:

• Ensure that the FPGA Compile Farm Server is running. If you have a remote compile worker, ensure the Compile Worker is also running.
  • To check the Compile Server:
    • If you are using a local or remote Compile Server, login to the Compile Server to verify it's status. Refer to section Setting up the Compile Server in Getting Started with a Compile Farm for instructions.
    • If you are using the FPGA Compile Cloud Service, contact NI Support to request a status check of the Cloud Service.
  • To check the Compile Worker:
    1. On the PC you are compiling on, launch the FPGA Compile Worker application from the Start Menu.
    2. Once the "Compile worker is running" notification appears, expand the Notification Bar.
    3. Right-click the FPGA Compile Worker icon and select Open.
    4. In the pop-up window, the Status will indicate whether a successful connection to the server was established.

• Verify that the port used by the Compile Server isn't being blocked by adding an exception to the Windows Firewall or other port blocking software. The default port is:
  • LabVIEW 8.6 and earlier - Port 96. 
  • LabVIEW 2009 and newer - Port 3580. 
• Ensure that the computer you are compiling on has a network connection.
  • The LabVIEW FPGA Compile Server and Client use TCP/IP to transfer files between each other, even if the Server and Client are on the same computer. Therefore, a valid network connection is required.
