Developing MGT Socketed CLIP
This section provides steps for creating socketed CLIP for use with your application. Socketed
CLIP provides the following functionality:
•
Allows you to insert HDL IP into an FPGA target, enabling VHDL code to communicate
directly with an FPGA VI.
•
Allows the CLIP to communicate directly with circuitry external to the FPGA.
•
Allows your IP to communicate directly with both the FPGA VI and the external adapter
module connector interface.
Socketed CLIP Architecture
Figure 5-2 shows an overview of the NI-7932R socketed CLIP interface. Figure 5-3 shows an
overview of the NI-7935R socketed CLIP interface.
