14 years agoHello Niki,
Thanks! Yeah, I'm pretty psyched to finally have things working! Yes, I remember reading your thread about the CVI getting stuck when you removed the input; I think you were de-asserting the data_valid and the CVI kind of froze, right? You are a braver soul than I...trying to write my own CVI/CVO sounds quite intimidating to me. With regards to your comment about seeing the FIFO overflow...when I had the graphics overlay generating frames at 73Hz, and a tiny 100-pixel FIFO in the CVI, I was printf-ing out the used FIFO words to the console every couple seconds, and I never saw it go above 1. However, I also later added a check to the "sticky" overflow bit, and it was almost always asserted...so the FIFO really was overflowing. The thing that initially made me believe the printf-statements was that I never saw an EOP come out of the CVI, which is what the manual says it's supposed to do when it overflows. I'll be more wary next time!
