  • LabVIEW FPGA Module
  • LabVIEW

Issue Details

  • I'm developing a new LabVIEW FPGA project and whenever I tried to run it, an error shows up.
  • I added a new FPGA I/O Node in my VI but after compiling, the error is presented.
  • I'm using a LabVIEW FPGA Interface Example, whenever I try to run it, an error is presented.

FPGA I/O project item not found. You must add the I/O item to the Project Explorer window or select a different item from the FPGA I/O control or constant.

 

Solution

The issue is presented when specifying an FPGA I/O In in the VI, is not a valid resource in the LabVIEW Project, as shown below.

 

  • When creating a constant to specify the FPGA I/O item, verify that the name of the resource is the correct.
  • Use a control to have the name of the FPGA Resource name options, automatically.

  • Drag and drop the I/O item from the LabVIEW Project Explorer Window to avoid typing errors.
