[i had posted the following problem on the NI forum (http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=280&message.id=2885). I didn't get a solution to the problem, but an NI application engineer suggested that I post it on LAVA.] We use NI PCI-7831R FPGA boards for real-time data acquisition in computers running Linux. (We wrote the driver ourselves.) However, when we want to download a new version of the FPGA bitfile (.lvbit) to the board, we need to move the board temporarily over to a Windows computer with the LabVIEW FPGA module installed. This, we would like to avoid. Does anyone know of a way to download the bitfile while the FPGA board is still in the Linux computer? (It is not a dual boot computer.) Is there a program (or information to write a program) somewhere that will just download a bitfile that has already been created on a Windows computer? Thanks for any help or hints.
