In any case the FRC controllers have been cost optimized for FRC. If I had paid for the tools to program the NI controllers & FPGA, I would not put an FRC controller in an industrial application. For replacement & support issues than anything else. [edit] It would have value for someone with access to the tools & wanted an inexpensive test bed to develop their skills.

This is probably a "Hey Greg".
I have access to (well, actually, support) the Xilinx tool chain, and Synopsys FPGA synthesis tools. What more might I need to repurpose our old cRIO's?
TIA,
