The Embedded Module for Blackfin Processors no longer supports the Embedded Project Manager or LabVIEW Embedded Project (.lep) files. Use the Project Explorer window instead.

The Embedded Module for Blackfin Processors includes a utility to help you convert LabVIEW 7.1 embedded project (.lep) files to LabVIEW 8.2 project (.lvproj) files. Complete the following steps to update embedded project files for use with LabVIEW 8.2 and the Embedded Module for Blackfin Processors 2.0.

1. Launch LabVIEW 8.2.
2. Select File»Open in the Getting Started window and navigate to the labview\Targets\ADI\Embedded\vdk\utils\Blackfin LEP Converter\ directory.
3. Select Blackfin_LEP_Converter.vi and click the OK button to run the Blackfin LEP converter utility.
4. Complete the following steps to add the .lep file you want to import to the LabVIEW Embedded Project (*.lep) Files list.
   1. Click the Add button below the LabVIEW Embedded Project (*.lep) Files list. The Select an Embedded Project to Add dialog box appears.
   2. Navigate to the location of the LEP file you want to import.
   3. Click the Add button. LabVIEW adds the LEP file and all the VIs associated with the LEP file to the Blackfin LEP converter utility. You can see only the LEP file in the LabVIEW Embedded Project (*.lep) Files list.

5. Click the Continue button. LabVIEW prompts you to specify the location and name of the new project.
6. The Import Status dialog box appears. When LabVIEW finishes importing the 1.0 files, the Project Explorer window appears with the Blackfin target and VIs.

Verifying the Target Configuration and Build Specifications

Complete the following steps to verify the target configuration and build specifications.

1. Right-click the Blackfin target in the Project Explorer window and select Configure Target from the shortcut menu.
2. Verify the settings in the VisualDSP++ Target Configuration dialog box and click the OK button.
3. Right-click the build specification under the Blackfin target in the Project Explorer window and select Properties from the shortcut menu to open the Build Specification Properties dialog box.
4. Verify the settings in the Application Information and Source Files categories and click the OK button.
5. Select File»Save in the Project Explorer window to save the project. LabVIEW saves a copy of all the VIs for the project in the same folder as the .lvproj file.
