Re: Custom roboRIO HAL: Where to find C library for roboRIO fpga?

Gotcha. That's what I expected; it's understandable. The issue with the included ni-library bindings is that (I assume based on the headers) that they only include the C++ bindings to the FPGA. These seem to be the C bindings, along with a few example projects, but because it was so difficult to find, I guess I'd just be left hanging as to whether something similar would be provided in later seasons.

Also: am I even correct to say that the C stuff there is analogous to the FRC_ChipObject stuff that WPIlib and the WPIlib HAL use? I assume this is the case, but it does look drastically different in some aspects.

Thanks again for the help!
