What is the product of 0x9D0BF6FDAC70AB52 and 0x6408F6540A1384CB? Well, according to LabVIEW for Windows, the answer is 0x2D90DE07C0C42206. According to C++ on OSX (without any optimizations, usage of Intel Intrinsic functions), the answer is also 0x2D90DE07C0C42206. The real answer is… 0x3D5E2BF7DCBCA6622D90DE07C0C42206. How do you get this number? You have to use compiler intrinsics, or calculate this value … Read more
So I wanted to implement a simple, stripped down version of the open-source lightweight IP stack “lwIP” (https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/lwip/) inside my LabVIEW FPGA project that I can handle TCP and UDP data streams. I do not have a lot of experience with this, and I found that building such a project inside Vivado would take around … Read more
So I wanted to mention that I have all of my LabVIEW (and Vivado) code saved on a RAID-1 mirrored location on my network. From each of my workstations, I map the same network location to my Z drive. This way any and all issues of LabVIEW referring to absolute paths goes away. I do … Read more
So I have figured out how to use the MicroBlaze Core with an AXI-Stream FIFO, and I have also figured out how to export a project from Vivado by using the Vivado “Write Project TCL” option. See the following project: https://github.com/JohnStratoudakis/LabVIEW_Fpga/tree/master/06_MicroBlaze/04_lwIP_Ex You have to re-generate the Vivado Project and create a new SDK workspace in … Read more
So I want to use an FPGA. I don’t want to spend thousands of hours reading through manuals, learning VHDL or the “easier” Verilog, and I don’t want to spend forever picking the right hardware, accessories, boards, installing drivers, getting it to work with my operating system…etc I heard LabVIEW for FPGA is a great … Read more
