Note: cRios let you run code in two places. The FPGA handles low-level device communication and any simple integer maths you would like to do. However, you can pass it all up to the PowerPC (which code compilation doesn't take nearly as long on) and have the PowerPC twiddle with it and send commands back down to the FPGA.
So once you get your low-level stuff working on the FPGA, you may not need to tweak the FPGA code, and can just fiddle with your higher level algorithms on the PowerPC.
