Issue Details

I am using the FPGA Addon in my VeriStand system definition file and when I deploy this project to a target I get the error -61205.

Solution

When using the FPGA Addon, an error will occur if the FPGA vi that is the source of the bitfile specified in the FPGA Addon contains a data type that cannot be used with the FPGA Addon .
For example, enumerated types (enums) cannot be used with the FPGA Addon. Instead of using enumerated types, please convert them to data types such as U8, U16, or U32, and then compile the bit file.
