Configuring the FPGA Compiler

Complete the following steps to set up the FPGA compiler:
  1. Select File » Preferences.
  2. On the FPGA tab, select an option in the Compiler section. The default is Local compile server.
    OptionDescription
    Local compile server Compile your FPGA code using the development computer.
    NI LabVIEW FPGA Compile Cloud Service Compile your FPGA code using high-performance cloud service that NI provides.
    Remote compile server Compile your FPGA code using an FPGA compile farm.
  3. If you selected NI LabVIEW FPGA Compile Cloud Service or Remote compile server in the previous step, specify the required credentials as follows:
    • NI LabVIEW FPGA Compile Cloud Service—Specify the username and password of your NI LabVIEW FPGA Compile Cloud Service account.
    • Remote compile server—Specify the login information of the compile server, such as server name, port, username, and password. If the compile server allows admin users only, specify admin as the username. If the compile server was not configured to use HTTPS, disable the Secure connection checkbox.
      Note If you are not the administrator of the compile farm, ask the administrator for the credentials. If you are the administrator of a compile farm, refer to Setting up an FPGA Compile Farm for more information about how to set up an FPGA compile farm.
  4. Click Test, if available, to verify the settings are valid. Resolve any errors.
  5. Click OK.
