FPGA LABVIEW programming

please don't post in multiple newsgroup.

The correct way to do that is to cross-post. That way people who subscribe to all these groups don't have to read and re-read your question and get frustrated (like Marco no doubt just did).

Yeah, yeah, we all have rights. There's no need to shout... :)

please don't post in multiple newsgroup and relax yourself.

Marco -

Why bother? What good do you do? Multiple newsgroups are required for this question, he simply didn't cross-post "properly." Who besides you cares?

I just hate to see someone steered away from any newsgroup because of bad experiences. Why try to use a newsgroup where people are condesending or hostile?

That's the last I'll comment in this thread. I just wish I could help with the original question.

I was at the Embedded Systems Conference in SanJose this year and I sat in on a 2 hour lecture on this. I initially thought the class was some kind of joke, but yes, they were actually using LabView to generate code for an FPGA. After sitting and watching a guy make a shift register I left the class with my inital impression of the class, its a joke.

I can look at a schematic and tell a circuit is a shift register, I can look at VHDL/Verilog code and see a shift register, but that mess of LabView crud they hade on the screen looked NOTHING like a shift register. I know this is pretty much version 1 of their FPGA software, but it will take much more work before it is ever usefull as a design tool.

I can't see how this will ever catch on for LabView...

Pretty damned good now I would say. One of a kind.

That's been my impression of any "high-level" tool I've used, especially any graphical ones. They are possible in theory, but in practice they are generally terrible.

How wrong can you be!! It's a fantastic tool.
