How can we deploy an already built frc code into its cRIO?

[murthyz]

Hello !

         I would like to know how to deploy an already built code into the cRIO again because I would like to download some test code into the cRIO first and then restore them with my team's 2009 FRC's built code.

Thanks and regards,

Murthy

Hi Murthy,

You can deploy code to the cRIO from the LabVIEW project by making sure that the VI you are running is targeted to (located under in the project tree) the cRIO. You can drag VIs to your cRIO target within your project and then open and run them to deploy them to the cRIO. This will abort any code that is running by default as a startup executable on the cRIO already. To deploy different code, simply open up and run a different VI targeted to the cRIO.

To create a startup exectuable that will run whenever you power on the cRIO (this must be done for competition) refer to the following resource:

Designating a LabVIEW Application to Start When the cRIO Boots

I hope this helps, let me know if you have any additional questions!

Best Regards,

Nate
