Configuring Mgt Socketed Clip In The Ni-793Xr Labview Fpga Targets - National Instruments FlexRIO NI-7931R User Manual

Chapter 5 Programming the High-Speed Serial Ports
Configuring MGT Socketed CLIP in the NI-793xR
LabVIEW FPGA Targets
Complete the following steps to configure MGT Socketed CLIP in your NI-793xR LabVIEW
project:
1. Create a new project by selecting File»New»Project, or open an existing project by
selecting File»Open.
2. Right-click the project in the Project Explorer window and select New»Targets and
Devices from the shortcut menu to display the Add Targets and Devices dialog box.
3. Select New target or device and select your device.
4. Right-click the device in the Project Explorer window and select New»FPGA Target to
add an FPGA target to the Controller for FlexRIO.
5. Add the protocol IP through your CLIP. Right-click the device name and select
Properties»Component-Level IP.
Note If you are using example CLIP or pre-made CLIP, you can import the CLIP
using the dialog box, or you can click on the Create File icon to create a new CLIP
using the CLIP Wizard.
Note You can modify a CLIP by selecting the preexisting CLIP Declaration Name
and clicking Modify File.
6. If you are generating new CLIP, follow the instructions in the CLIP Wizard to interface
your CLIP with LabVIEW FPGA. You do not need to use the CLIP Wizard if you are
reusing an existing CLIP. Refer to the FPGA Module Help for more detailed information
about the CLIP Wizard. The CLIP Wizard guides you through the following tasks.
• Adding VHDL source, XDC constraints, and EDF/EDN/EDIF netlists
• Configuring device types
• Configuring generics
• Performing syntax checks
• Specifying how to use the signals in your CLIP
Note In Step 2 of the CLIP Wizard, select the appropriate Component Level IP
Type for your target.
Note After you create the CLIP and add the files, you do not need to modify the
CLIP for any changes to take place if you do not change the source paths. If you
change the source paths or modify the CLIP source files, you must use the CLIP
Wizard.
