Cross compile VI for embedded Linux

[Kai_S.]

Hello,

I'm actually trying to port Labview to a self-designed AT91SAM9 (Atmel ARM9) platform using the "LabView for ARM" package. The way described in the porting guide is done and working for other platforms very well. But the AT91-Series seems to have some problems in combination with ULink2 Debugger and Keil uVision. It is very unstable and not deterministic.

On the other hand i've ported an Angstrom Linux to the AT91 platform wich works very well and stable. Is it possible to drop the Keil uVision Suite and use other third party compilers in combination with the LabView for ARM package?

Best regards

Kai

Hi Hai,

do you mean with the porting guide this website?

LabVIEW Embedded for ARM Porting Guide - Chapter 1: Introduction - Developer Zone - National Instruments

Which advantages would you expect with a third party compiler?

Hi Hai,

as far as I can see, it is neccessary to use the Keil uVision toolcain.

Take a look at the requirements of the Embedded Module for ARM microcontroller:

LabVIEW 2011 Embedded Module for ARM Microcontrollers Readme - National Instruments

System Requirements

The Embedded Module for ARM Microcontrollers has the following system requirements:

• LabVIEW 2011 Full or Professional Development System (32-bit)
• RealView Microcontroller Development Kit 4.11, including Keil µVision4
• Keil ULINK2 USB-JTAG adaptor
