reading backplane serial number on FPGA

[davut]

  hi ,

i have cRIO controller 9022 and 9103 chassis.. 

i know, there is some functions for reading serial numbers of hardwares, MAC addresses, but these functions used on cRIO controller or PC..

 i wonder if it s possible to read backplane serial number, from FPGA platform.

  Best regards..

Hi there! Unfortunately no, however, all the information that you are looking for can be retrieved from Windows or the Real-Time level. Here is an article that talks about it. Plus, there is another method not discussed in the article. If you have the NI System Configuration installed on the controller you can do something like this:

If you really need the serial number at the FPGA level then follow one of these recommendations and pass the information down from the Real-Time through a FIFO or other communication method. I hope this answer your question
