Some FPGA targets have flash memory that can store FPGA VIs. Refer to the specific FPGA target hardware documentation for information about flash memory.

Complete the following steps to automatically run an FPGA VI that is loaded from flash memory when you power on an FPGA target.

1. Right-click the FPGA target in the Project Explorer window and select Properties from the shortcut menu. The FPGA Target Properties dialog box appears.
2. Place a checkmark in the Run when loaded to FPGA checkbox.
3. Click the OK button. All FPGA VIs you create for the FPGA target will run when loaded.
4. Now that you have configured the FPGA VI to run automatically, configure the FPGA target to load the VI automatically when powered on.

Note  Configuring FPGA VIs to run automatically also affects the operation of the Open FPGA VI Reference function and downloading methods if the FPGA target where the FPGA VI was compiled is configured according to the steps above.
