fpga + google maps

I have a VI that displays google map and works fine but when I try to link it with a VI that has fpga input resourc and takes analog values from fpga, map doesnt work and reports a lot of errors. If I get some help in this regard, I will be very thankful.

"map doesn't work and reports a lot of errors".

 

That really narrows down to about a million different things that might be wrong.

 

Try giving details on how it doesn't work and what kind of errors you are getting.  Error numbers and descriptions can give people a clue as to what might be wrong and could help you.  Otherwise it is just a random guessing game.

I dont encounter these errors when ruuning without a fpga target but when the Google MAP VI is run under fpga project, these are the some of the errors I eccounter (file attached)

I think that is pretty clear.

 

FPGA targets require fixed array sizes.  The google maps API must be relying on arrays that don't have fixed sizes.  Is there a reason you are trying to run google maps which is pretty much a PC type of application on an FPGA target?

 

You'd have to rewrite the google maps API so it uses fixed size arrays.  But I don't think that would be a small undertaking.

what if I am not uging google maps? how do I interface a VI with fpga?

thanks for referring the tutorial. I am still having some errors while linking a host VI with an fpga VI. Attached are the files, if you could please have a loot at them.

You may have tried this already, but It might be worth looking at some of the FPGA examples in the LabVIEW example finder. There are some projects that include both the host and target VIs which you may find beneficial.
