Using the FPGA I/O Node
After you create FPGA I/O items in the Project Explorer window, you can use the FPGA I/O items in FPGA I/O Nodes on the block diagram. You can click an FPGA I/O item in the Project Explorer window and drag it onto the block diagram to create a new FPGA I/O Node that is configured for that FPGA I/O item. You also can complete the following steps to add an FPGA I/O Node to the block diagram and configure terminals for specific FPGA I/O items.
- Create a new VI or open an existing VI under an FPGA target that also contains FPGA I/O items.
- Add an FPGA I/O Node to the block diagram.
- Click the element section of the FPGA I/O Node to add a new FPGA I/O item or select an FPGA I/O item you previously added to the project. You can select any FPGA I/O item you want to use, regardless of the type of I/O resource. The new FPGA I/O item appears in the FPGA I/O Node. Alternatively, you can write reusable code by wiring an FPGA I/O control to the FPGA I/O In input of the FPGA I/O Node.
You can expand the FPGA I/O Node to add additional FPGA I/O items. Right-click an FPGA I/O item in the FPGA I/O Node and select Add Element from the shortcut menu. A new I/O Item terminal appears in the FPGA I/O Node. You then can repeat step 3 above to configure the new I/O Item terminal.
