As of version 1.15.0, the Power Electronics Add-On allows users to configure DIO channel direction for certain FPGAs. In new projects, DO channel mappings are are set to Not Connectedby default, but in migrated projects, previously unmapped DO channels remain unmapped. This results in a warning advising the user to map all DIO channels. It is recommended, but not required, to set these unmapped channels to Not Connected. |
