In order to compile your LabVIEW FPGA code locally for your NI FPGA Hardware (RIO, R Series, etc.), you will need a compatible version of the Xilinx Compilation Tools installed. In general, the version of the Xilinx Compilation Tools you need depends on your version of LabVIEW and which FPGA is built into your RIO device.
To determine what Xilinx Compilation Tools you need, you can either use the tool in Section 1 or manually correlate the appropriate software versions using the tables in Section 2 and Section 3.
We recommend that you use the most recent version of the Xilinx Compilation Tools that is compatible with your NI hardware.
Note: This article replaces KnowledgeBase 73AI806R: Which Version of the Xilinx Compile Tools Do I Need to Compile My LabVIEW FPGA Code?. Some NI manuals may still reference that previous document.
Note: When using Windows 10 please refer to the LabVIEW FPGA Module Compatibility with Windows 10 White Paper before proceeding. The LabVIEW FPGA Module Xilinx Compilation Tools for ISE are not supported on Windows 10 and only certain versions of the LabVIEW FPGA Module Xilinx Compilation Tool for Vivado are supported.

Multiple compilers can coexist on the same computer. LabVIEW will automatically choose the correct Xilinx Compilation Tools needed based on hardware. However, you still need to make sure that the Xilinx Compilation Tools supports your device.
