Error -1 at private_5640_bitstream Downloader -- FPGA Programming Error

[rohit1986_xyz]

Hi, 

I ran the sample "NI5640R Analog Input and Output" example that is provided along with the board and I got an error saying

"Error -1 occurred at private_5640_bitstream Downloader.vi:2

Possible reason(s):

FPGA Programming Error

(INIT_B pulled low 

during configuration)

Possible reason(s):
FPGA Programming Error(INIT_B pulled low during configuration)"

Please suggest me what should I do to get the DAQ board working again.

Thank you.

Hey Rohit,

I can help you more quickly if I have a little information about your system.
What version of LabVIEW are you using?
What version of the NI-5640R driver did you install? (This can be found by going to control panel >> add/remove programs >> National Instruments Software)
What version of NI-RIO do you have installed? (This can be found by going to control panel >> add/remove programs >> National Instruments Software)

Also, has this system worked in the past? Did you change anything recently (maybe a new installer)?

Thanks,

-Dan

Hi Dan,

These are the version numbers.

Labview version 8.2.1

Ni-5640R 1.1

NI-RIO FCF 2.2

This system has been working for the past 1.5 years. No change was made by me. This was sudden and unexpected.

Is this a shared computer? Could somebody else have installed something that broke software compatibility?

One way we can check is by looking for an installation log. Go to C:\Users\All Users\National Instruments\Installation Logs\InstallationSummaryLog.xml. If the log exists (which it may not), open it up and scroll to the bottom. Look for install events that happened since it was last known to work.

Also something we can do is try repairing your install. Go to Add/Remove Programs>>National Instruments Software. Find the NI-5640R 1.1 driver, select it, and click repair. I believe that it should repair your NI-RIO install as well.

If you want to send me your InstallationSummaryLog.xml, I would be happy to take a look at it. You can attach it to a private message if you like. Also, if you know the last time that the board was working, it might narrow things down for me.
