IDFixed Issue

629132

LabVIEW FPGA VI fails to compile and presents error "Environment Variable Not Set; ... your variable is undefined" when compiling for an sbRIO using a RIO Mezzanine Card (RMC).  This only occurs if unused RMC I/O lines are deleted from the LabVIEW Project.

When using Host Memory Buffer and FPGA Interactive mode simultaneously, the Real-Time process can encounter an exception and restart. 

660557

When using a Host Memory Buffer and a Host to Target DMA FIFO simultaneously, the Host Memory Buffer's Retrieve method on FPGA can incorrectly return data sent by the FIFO. This does not affect the FIFO's data in any way. Please note that this issue was resolved in CompactRIO 17.6 (December 2017), yet continues to exist in 18.0, 18.1, and 18.5.
