Use the Xilinx IP functions to implement different Xilinx IP in an FPGA VI. LabVIEW implements these functions using the IP Integration Node. The names and descriptions for these functions come from Xilinx IP data sheets, available on the Xilinx website at www.xilinx.com.

The Xilinx IP palette varies by target and displays only Xilinx IP functions that your FPGA device supports. Not all FPGA device families support all Xilinx IP. Refer to the Xilinx IP data sheets for information about FPGA device family support.

Some of the Xilinx IP requires licensing from Xilinx. You can find the licensing information in the Context Help window for a specific Xilinx IP. To import a license, place the .lic file in one of the following default directories, depending on your specific FPGA target:

  • (Xilinx ISE) C:\NIFPGA\programs\XilinxY_Z\ISE\coregen\core_licenses, where XilinxY_Z is the current version of the Xilinx compilation tool for ISE for your FPGA target.
  • (Xilinx Vivado) C:\NIFPGA\programs\VivadoA_B\data\ip\core_licenses, where VivadoA_B is the current version of the Xilinx compilation tool for Vivado for your FPGA target.

To compile VIs containing licensed IP, ensure that the license exists on the computer.

Note
  • You must have the Xilinx compilation tools installed on the local computer to configure these functions. Refer to the Xilinx Compilation Tools Readme for instructions on installing Xilinx compilation tools for LabVIEW.
  • If you move Xilinx IP generated on a given FPGA target to another FPGA target, you may need to regenerate the Xilinx IP.
