I stumbled upon a board called the “Zynqberry” which is supposed to mimic a Raspberry Pi but with a Xilinx Zyn-7000 FPGA board present. This board aims to be an FPGA-enabled version of the Raspberry Pi and comes with a 100MBit connector.  Unfortunately it does not support 10 Gigabit.  I mean, how could it with … Read more

If you are more of a hobbyist or doing this on the side, here are some possible board configurations that you can use to experiment with a 10 Gigabit connection. Remember, a SFP+ connection is synonymous with a 10 Gigabit connection. Zynq ZedBoard Zynq-7000 ARM/FPGA SoC Development Board If you are a student, you can … Read more

Now you can run LabVIEW FPGA on the hardware of your choice with the new “LabVIEW FPGA IP Export Utility”.  That sounds great, but what’s that got to do with me? (quoting Rambo 3) Step 1 – Pick a non-National Instruments FPGA Board You will have to pick a non-National Instruments FPGA board that has … Read more

Okay, so what now? For starters, you should know that LabVIEW 2020 FPGA uses Vivado 2019.1. And we are going to start with the currently available version/mode – IP Export to Netlist.  (The Source Code option requires you to email them to get it unlocked) What does this mean? It means that you can only use … Read more

Going to investigate what will be the biggest game changer for LabVIEW, FPGA’s and you. Okay, so the National Instruments website (http://www.ni.com) is pretty hard to navigate.  I somehow saw the following under the ‘RELATED PRODUCTS’ section on some page that I have since been unable to find: Then I was finally told by my … Read more
