CLIP Tutorial: Adding Component-Level IP to an FPGA Project

You can use this tutorial to learn how to manually create and use CLIP in an FPGA project. However, NI recommends using the CLIP Wizard to import IP into an FPGA project as CLIP.

To add CLIP to an FPGA project without using the CLIP Wizard, you must complete the following steps:

1. Create or acquire the IP.
2. Define the interface to the IP using a declaration XML file.
3. Declare the CLIP in the properties of an FPGA target.
4. Add a CLIP item to a LabVIEW project.
5. Pass data between CLIP and an FPGA VI.
