Issue with FPGA IP Builder

[LukeMuscutt]

I am using LabVIEW 2023 Q3, and am opening various different projects that have been written using LV 2020 using the RT and FPGA modules. One issue I am running into is that the 'IP Builder' cannot be found, and I get the following error message: 

'FPGA IP Builder is deprecated in the LabVIEW 2020 FPGA Module. However, you can use FPGA IP generated with earlier versions of FPGA Module.'

I have found outdated information about the IP builder such as this page, but the installation instructions just say to run 'setup.exe', but with no download link. LabVIEW 2013 FPGA IP Builder Readme - National Instruments

I cannot find IP Builder on VIPM or NIPM. 

What is the purpose of IP Builder, is it necessary to run the code, and is there an alternative? 

Thanks!

I think it has essentially been replaced by the LabVIEW IP Export Toolkit which allows exporting portions of LV code to a user CLIP. I've tested it with a trial version and it works pretty nicely.

The way I understand it.

IP Builder was for making LabVIEW FPGA coding easier.  If you had to code something over and over again (say many multiply/adds), this would apply Xilinx/AMD High Level Synthesis to make the algorithm that is easier to read into something more efficient for an FPGA.

IP Export makes VHDL or Netlists for using the IP on non-NI FPGA cards.
