Use LabVIEW FPGA, drivers, and utilities to configure, control, and communicate with the PXIe‑1480 carrier and its interface adapter modules.
An Interface Adapter Module shipment includes the following.
- NI FlexRIO driver
- Getting Started Example (GSE)
- Base FPGA image
The carrier is a PXIe FlexRIO module. You can directly run or modify code on the user-accessible FPGA.
The GSE supports common workflows to establish initial communication with devices
under test (DUTs). The GSE supports all compatible interface adapter modules. Use
the GSE to bring up and validate SerDes‑based camera systems or ECUs with
FlexRIO Automotive Vision hardware. The example demonstrates the following
concepts:
- Configure a SerDes interface adapter module.
- Generate real-time output image data.
- Visualize real-time input image data.
- Control and monitor interfaces such as I2C, GPIO, and Power over Coax (PoC).
- Log I2C, GPIO, and video data to disk.
The GSE combines configuration, control, analysis, and visualization in a single workflow. This approach lets you quickly test camera pipelines or ECU communication. The example serves as a foundation for deeper system development, debugging, and performance characterization.
Note For additional information about developing programs for SerDes camera systems
and ECUs, refer to the tutorials provided in NI Automotive Camera
Module Documentation.
