Tutorial
Use this tutorial to learn how to create a LabVIEW project and build, run,
and debug a Blackfin application.
Note You can create a project and Blackfin VI without connecting a Blackfin target to the
host computer. However, you must connect a Blackfin target to the host computer before
you can test a Blackfin application. Refer to the Installing the EZ-KIT Lite or Emulator
section for information about installing the Blackfin target.
Creating the LabVIEW Project
Use LabVIEW projects to group together LabVIEW files and
non-LabVIEW files, create build specifications for building a Blackfin VI
into a Blackfin application, and run the application on a Blackfin target.
You must use a project to build a Blackfin VI into a Blackfin application.
LabVIEW project files have a
.lvproj file extension. Project files contain
target-specific build options and other information necessary for the
LabVIEW C Code Generator to generate C code from the VIs.
Complete the following steps to launch LabVIEW and create a project with
an ADSP-BF537 target and a blank VI.
1. Launch LabVIEW.
2. Select Empty Project in the Getting Started window to open an
empty LabVIEW project as shown in Figure 2. LabVIEW creates
an empty project with a Windows target, shown in Figure 2 as
My Computer.
