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

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!
The header files here are what are provided to the WPILib. When compiling the libraries for that, they might use the C stuff, but I don't know. We only have access to what was found in that folder.
