FPGA Config XML file (.fpgaconfig) file not generated by LabView 2025 project FPGA template

I have used the Labview "Wizard" to create an FPGA project in Labview 2025.

 

I have a cRio9075.  

 

Integration into NI VeriStand

  1. Customize the FPGA VI generated by the NI VeriStand Custom FPGA Project Wizard (done)
  2. Compile the FPGA VI to generate the bitfile (.lvbitx). (done)
  3. Modify the FPGA Config XML file (.fpgaconfig) to match the packet definition in the FPGA VI (RIO Library VIs have the XML on their block diagram).
  4. Copy the bitfile, config file, and schema (.xsd) in to either your NI VeriStand project directory or into the globally available Public Documents\National Instruments\<NI VeriStand Version>\FPGA directory.
  5. Add the FPGA personality to an NI VeriStand System Definition.

The first two steps have gone smoothly.

Step 3 is where I get confused; apparently I need to create an XML definition and the note here says "RIO Library VIs have the XML on their block diagram".  I cannot find this in any of the vi's I have from my example. 

 

Where do I do this, or where do I find the file to edit?  And what am I editing it to do?

 

And on step 4, where do I find a schema(.xsd) file?

 

The ultimate goal of all this is to program the FPGA to read a PWM duty cycle and send the result to Veristand.

Are you sure the cRIO9075 is supported by LV2025? NI doesn't say so

Best regards,

Not sure what issue you're running into here but given what you want to do, could you just use the FPGA Addon CD?

All you need to know to use FPGA in VeriStand is summarized in Getting Started With NI FPGA Devices in NI VeriStand

 

For "RIO Library VIs have the XML on their block diagram", you need to use NI VeriStand Add-On: FPGA XML Builder Node
