Browse the complete list of functions and VIs available with NI LabVIEW FPGA Module to learn more about how you can use this software to meet your application needs. VIs, or virtual instruments, are high-level functions in the LabVIEW environment.

NI LabVIEW and the LabVIEW FPGA Module deliver graphical development for field-programmable gate array (FPGA) chips on NI reconfigurable I/O (RIO) hardware targets. With the LabVIEW FPGA Module, you can develop FPGA VIs on a host computer running Windows, and LabVIEW compiles and implements the code in hardware. You can create embedded FPGA VIs that combine direct access to I/O with user-defined LabVIEW logic to define custom hardware for applications such as digital protocol communication, hardware-in-the-loop simulation, and rapid control prototyping.

With the NI Standard Service Program (SSP), you receive the latest NI software technology through automatic upgrades and an elevated level of technical support from NI applications engineers through phone and e-mail. You also receive free, unlimited access to on-demand online training courses. A one-year subscription to SSP is less than the cost of purchasing a single upgrade.

NI Developer Suite includes all of the tools you need for building an embedded, customized CompactRIO system - LabVIEW FPGA for synthesizing custom hardware in the user-configurable RIO FPGA core and LabVIEW Real-Time for building deterministic real-time applications.

Requirements for LabVIEW FPGA Module

Same as LabVIEW Development System for Windows requirements
Memory requirements for FPGA targets may differ greatly
- Virtex-II (1M and 3M Gates)
  - Windows XP (32-bit)
  - 1 to 2 GB RAM
- Virtex-5 (LX30, LX50, LX85, LX110)
  - Baseline - Windows XP (32-bit) with 2 GB of RAM
  - Optimum - Windows XP (64-bit) with 4 GB of RAM

The Xilinx tools used by the FPGA Module do not officially support Windows 7. National Instruments tested the Xilinx tools, as they are used by the FPGA Module, and did not find any issues related to Windows 7. If you encounter problems with the Xilinx tools specific to Windows 7, you might be required to compile using Windows XP or Windows Vista. National Instruments will not be liable for any problems or issues related to the use of Xilinx tools with Windows 7.
