programming Xilinx FPGA of a custom board using Labview

Hi 

 

Is it possible to program Xilinx FPGAs of our own board using NI Lab View FPGA Module.

 

If  the answer is Yes. Then How to do it.

 

If the answer is No. Then why it is not possible.

Looking at the readme file for the LabVIEW 2015 FPGA Module, it seems like it only supports NI products. I know Xilinx makes the FPGAs for NI, but whether or not this means that NI software can program custom hardware is unclear. Additionally, although my answer is essentially "no", the best explanation as to why it is "no" is because the readme file says so.

Labview only supports NI hardware (and maybe one or two academic kits). That way they have control over the hardware and can thoroughly test it. I'm sure NI does not want to be in the position of supporting their compiler on boards that they don't control; how would they know if a problem is in the software or the hardware?
