LabVIEW FPGA: The Compile Worker Cannot Perform the Compilation

Issue Details

• Due to licensing or configuration the compile worker cannot compile. Please fix any issues and restart.
• LabVIEW FPGA: The compile worker cannot perform the compilation. The compile worker may be configured incorrectly for this compilation or it may be in an error state.

• Due to bad installation or configuration, the compiler worker does not have any compiler capability. Please fix any issues and restart.

Solution

• Check the version of the Xilinx Compilation Tools installed on your computer and verify it is compatible with your LabVIEW version and NI FPGA Hardware.
  • Note: If your computer is running Windows 10 please ensure that the compiler you require is compatible with Windows 10.
• Remove the FPGA target from your project right-clicking on it and select Remove from Project. Then add the FPGA target again. 
• Ensure that the license status of the Xilinx Compilation Tools is not in evaluation mode. Note: If you are activating your software through an activation server but it still shows up as in evaluation, refer to Evaluation Software Won't Activate Through Volume License Server.
• It is possible that even if the correct version of Xilinx Compilation Tools is installed, it is corrupt. 
  • One way to test is to try compiling the FPGA bitfile in a new project with a blank FPGA vi. If the issue persists, your Compilation Tools may be corrupted.
    • If you suspect that the Tools are corrupt, you can repair your Compilation Tools in NIPM
    • If you are still running into issues, either uninstall and reinstall the software or perform a force reinstall of your compilation tools.
• If you're facing the error in Windows 7 machine, there is another option which is to use Windows 10 as a remote compile worker. This would require the Windows 7 and Windows 10 machine to be connected using Ethernet cable and compatible version of Xilinx Compilation Tool to be installed on the Windows 7 machine.
