Before You Begin
This section contains information you need before developing high-performance embedded
applications using the NI-7931R, NI-7932R, and NI-7935R devices.
Development Requirements
Successful system design with the NI-793xR devices may require knowledge in the following
areas, depending on your application.
•
Real-time programming
•
VHDL code design
•
LabVIEW and LabVIEW FPGA programming
If you are unfamiliar with any of these concepts, refer to the following table for a list of resources
for learning the fundamentals required for NI-793xR development.
Table 1-1.

VHDL code design
Some VHDL training or experience is
required before implementing custom
protocols with the high-speed serial
transceivers. Do not attempt to develop
Component-Level IP (CLIP) without
VHDL knowledge. Refer to the
FlexRIO
Help
for more information about CLIP.
