Modifying the Configuration Template File

The configuration file allows the user to map a model port to the supported NI FPGA Board I/O or to registers. Use the create-config command to create a template configuration file.

Note By default, all model ports map to registers.

The configuration file also contains information on the available Board I/Os for the selected NI FPGA target. This helps with mapping model ports to Board I/Os.

Before modifying the configuration file, read the file’s Board I/O details. Understanding the direction and datatype of the model port and Board I/O is essential to determining the correct connection configuration. The following is a snippet of a model port mapped to a Board I/O.

Note Using the build-bitfile command will trigger a data loss warning if the model port bitness does not match the mapped Board I/O bitness.
