Can I use an USB-stick for storage in a cRIO-9064?

[Freel]

Hello everyone,

For a project I need to have more storage space on a cRIO. I'm currently looking at the cRIO-9064 with USB port.

Is it possible to connect a USB Mass Storage device this port and use it for file I/O?

ps. I'm aware of the c-modules that offer a sd-card slot, but my budget is not high enough for these.

pps. If you have some example code you can quicky past in your reply, that would be awesome.

Kudus will be given.

Thank you

Hi Freel, this is possible with all RT targets that feature a USB device port. The USB stick will be mapped to the U drive of the RT target. The cRIO-9064 runs the Linux RT OS, so you will need to use the forward slash path notation. Please see this article for details:
