Yes, it is still supported from NI. We just have downloaded the latest version based on LV2015 : http://www.ni.com/download/labview-c-generator-2015/5527/en/ Now we test it against the former 2013 version in our ZBrain SDK. We use it successfully in applications based on the Blackfin Processor, have introduced multitasking, added ethernet, CAN and many other IO-Functions that are used in deeply embedded. Best regards Marco

The replacing product of the former "LabVIEW 2009 Embedded Module for blackfin" is now (Q4/2012) shipped. It is based on LabVIEW 2011, the NI-ANSI-C-Code-Generator and the ZBrain Embedded Tools. That's why it is called "LabVIEW Embedded Module for Blackfin with C-Gen" or in short "LVBFCGEN". Detailed information can be found on the former (http://wiki.schmid-engineering.ch/zsystem) and the new (http://wiki.schmid-engineering.ch/zsystem4) knowledge base. Currently supported are the Blackfin BF527 and BF548 processor. There are plans to support the system on chip Blackfin 50x Family. So now, the ones who got stucked with the once archived 2009 version now have a life line to carry on realizing their ideas with LabVIEW on a Blackfin. Marco One more thing. The pricing model for LVBFCGEN is different from the considerable priced universal NI ANSI-C-Code-Generator. The new model follows the pricing scheme of the former product similar to the "LabVIEW Embedded Module for ARM". The only compromise is that with LVBFCGEN, the NI C-Code-Generator has been limited to produce Code only for the Analog Devices Blackfin Processor Family. Cheers Marco

Hi, NI in fact changed its product strategy and archived the "LabVIEW Embedded Module for Blackfin" with the version 2009. However, there's a new solution coming into the picture that is based on the new and microprocessor independant ANSI-C-Code-Generator. With this move, NI will be focusing more on a world class code generator and leaves the specific processor support to alliance members, with the exception of Tier1 ARM/Cortex devices.
