An efficient approach for design and testing of FPGA programming using Lab VIEW

Abstract

Programming of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) have long been the domain of engineers with VHDL or Verilog expertise. FPGA's have caught the attention of algorithm developers and communication researchers, who want to use FPGAs to instantiate systems or implement DSP algorithms. These efforts however, are often stilled by the complexities of programming FPGAs. RTL programming in either VHDL or Verilog is generally not a high level of abstraction needed to represent the world of signal How graphs and complex signal processing algorithms. This paper describes the FPGA Programs using Graphical Language rather than Verilog VHDL with the help of LabVIEW and features of the LabVIEW FPGA environment.
