Can I load my own VHDL code in the FPGA on the Camera Link PCIe 1473 card?

[BoneDocDad]

I’m a 20+ year Xilinx FPGA developer and want to take full advantage of the FPGA on the PCIe 1473 card. I have an application where I need to perform some rather complex pattern recognition on the streaming Camera Link data. I have the algorithms pretty much figured out but I have to use my own VHDL code to perform them. I really don’t want to design a card for the experiment if this card will work. I assume the 80 bits from camera link simply flow through the device then to a DMA engine.

So my main question is, can I use my VHDL code that I develop in the Xilinx environment on the card.

Have you looked at this document: https://knowledge.ni.com/KnowledgeArticleDetails?id=kA03q000000x0jiCAA&l=en-US ?

You still need LabVIEW FPGA but you can do all your logic in custom VHDL.

As far as interfacing with the FPGA after it is compiled and running, you can use either LabVIEW or C to interface with the logic on the FPGA.
