ID | Fixed Issue |
| 677354 | When a Case structure wired into an auto-indexing tunnel has more than 32 cases, the output array could be all zeroes |
| 677246 | Using the IP Integration Node with a VHDL file that contains extended identifiers results in compilation failure with the following error: [Synth 8-2139] illegal identifiers |
| 674053 | Using a VHDL file with an IP Integration Node that contains a generic and ends the entity declaration with "end entity" rather than "end <entity name>" results in syntax check failure |
| 673789 | If you fix errors about the Desktop Execution Node (DEN) in an FPGA VI and then run the FPGA VI in simulation mode without the DEN, the FPGA VI still throws errors about the DEN |
| 671439 | Using the Desktop Execution Node with an FPGA VI that is within a project library file (.lvlib) on an FPGA target results in Error 1055 |
| 658853 | CLIP configuration may not display all entities if one of the port names contains "begin" |
| 656074 | If you use the FPGA FIFO Read method with the Desktop Execution Node, the FPGA FIFO Read method uses the Timeout input as milliseconds instead of ticks |
| 640863 | DMA channels are not available in the LabVIEW FPGA host interface if a DMA channel of the DBL type is present |
| 629712 | A crash can occur when you add an FPGA handshake into a cluster |
Upgrade and Compatibility Issues
If you upgrade from the LabVIEW 2016 FPGA Module or later to the LabVIEW 2018 FPGA Module, you might encounter the following compatibility issues:
Deprecating the Simulation VIs—The Simulation palette is deprecated in the LabVIEW 2018 FPGA Module.
Dropping Support for Third-Party Simulation Using a Questa Simulator—The LabVIEW 2018 FPGA Module does not support third-party simulation using a Questa simulator.
(Xilinx Vivado) Behavior Change in Reading the Depth of FIFOs with the Built-In Control Logic—Prior to the LabVIEW 2018 FPGA Module, when you configure FIFOs with the built-in control logic in the General Page of the FIFO Properties dialog box, Actual Number of Elements returns two numbers, which LabVIEW uses when the handshaking interface is disabled or enabled, respectively. In the LabVIEW 2018 FPGA Module, the actual depth of FIFOs with the built-in control logic is no longer known at configuration time. Actual Number of Elements returns a conservative number, which is the closest power of two, greater than Requested Number of Elements. As a result, the Get Number of Elements to Read/Write methods no longer support FIFOs with the built-in control logic. If you use the Read/Write methods with such FIFOs in simulation mode, the Timed Out? output value might not reflect the actual behavior on hardware.
If you upgrade from the LabVIEW 2015 FPGA Module or earlier to the LabVIEW 2018 FPGA Module, refer to previous versions of the LabVIEW FPGA Module readme or LabVIEW FPGA Module Release and Upgrade Notes, available on ni.com/manuals, for changes in previous versions of the FPGA Module.
Note The LabVIEW FPGA Module Release and Upgrade Notes document was deprecated from the 2016 release.
Upgrading the FPGA Module requires you to upgrade to a new version of the Xilinx compilation tools. This upgrade can change the timing or resource utilization characteristics of FPGA VIs you developed in previous versions or cause these VIs to fail to compile. NI recommends that you test all FPGA designs after upgrading.
