Environment

Hardware

  • PCIe-7822

Software

  • LabVIEW FPGA Module

In this tutorial it is possible to know about the FPGA packages specific for a FPGA card directly from LabVIEW in order to do some preliminary tests. For accomplishing this aim it will be necessary to add the interested FPGA as Target in a LabVIEW project and check information in the Properties window.
 

To find the package associated with the specific FPGA, make sure to follow the above steps:
  1. Make sure to have installed driver for the specific target;
  2. Open a new project in LabVIEW
  3. Right-click to Project >> New >> targets and Devices...                                                                                                                                                             image.png   
  4. Add your FPGA target
  5. You will see the target added to the project hierarchy
  6. Select Properties, and a window will pop-up showing information regarding the FPGA target and the FPGA package is between them. Below, there is an example with PCIe-7822R which has FBG676 as a package:     image.png

Following above steps it will possible to find package associated to FPGA which could be downloaded from Xilinx website.
