FrontPanel 6 compatibility with Vivado 2026.1?

FrontPanel
1

I am a STEM coordinator at a collegiate high school/college trades and curriculum developer. We are piloting a program that is evaluating several FPGA development board ecosystems with 7 summer interns.

We are experiencing significant difficulty with Vivado 2026 and FrontPanel 6 on the XEM7310-A200 platform.

  • We are able to use the included 4 FP6 applications and the 7310 with success, however attempting to use the provided Verilog and VHDL libraries located in the FrontPanelHDL folder, we are unable to properly integrate it with our project. Due to many errors relating to the Opal Kelly libraries, and being unable to locate documentation on how to integrate those libraries with our project.
  • Can you please provide any further documentation, guides, or resources for the HDL aspect of OpalKelly FrontPanel 6 integration. If this documentation is unavailable we will have to consider a new provider, as documentation is very important to us and effects our ability to efficiently develop projects.

Hello–

Our documentation is all available through our documentation portal here:

Notably, the XEM7310 is our USB 3.0 HDL documented here:

Unfortunately, without more specific information, there isn’t much we can say about any errors you’ve encountered. If you can provide details about any errors you’ve seen, we might be able to make some suggestions. Also, please be specific about which version of Vivado 2026 you’re using. Each version has its own unique fingerprint of issues, to say the least.
