Dear Sir,

You are facing an issue with the partition only. Can I understand what is the file format you are using? FAT32 or the NTFS?

Also give some more details on how you did the boot and what is your industrial pc configuration?

Thank You.

thanks for your response.
my industrial PC:
CPU              DM&P SoC CPU Vortex86DX-1GHz
BIOS             AMI BIOS
Memory           256MB DDR2 onboard
LAN              Integrated 10/100Mbps Ethernet
i attached a PDF about my industrial PC for you.
i use windows xp for partition and format(START->Settings->Control Panel->ADMINISTRATIVE->...).
i formatted Compact Flash (CF) with FAT32.
i use Format Disk for boot my industrial PC.

when i dissapointed,i go new way:use FDISK and Formatted with FAT16 and
i booted my RT target with Format Disk (MAX -> Tools-->RT Disk Utilities-->Creat Desktop PC Format Hard Drive Disk)
first boot with floppy and when Boot finished,i removed floppy disk and reset my RT target,that Booted from Hard Disk Drive
then i saw this message:

Transfering control to user program
Error booting harddrive boot program.
LV RT Single-core kernel found '2' cpu cores.
Consider installing NI RT Extensions for SMP (Multi core support) MOdule from MAX
MAX system identification name:Unspecified
Unable to configure the primary network Device
rebooting in 10 seconds for retry....

and after many-boot my RT target say me:

Transfering control to user program
Error booting harddrive boot program.
LV RT Single-core kernel found '2' cpu cores.
Consider installing NI RT Extensions for SMP (Multi core support) MOdule from MAX
MAX system identification name:Unspecified

system Halted.

How can i do for these messages?
Thanks.

Hi

Ni has a tool that can check if your PC is compatible with the NI realtime specification. I suggest you run this tool before attempting to install LV RT on your PC. It can save you some time

There's a requirements document. And please stick to one thread for one topic, check also here.

I don't know what ethernet chipset your PC has, but it doesn't seem to be supported.

Also the CPU doesn't seem to be (officially) supported. It might still work though.

 i used PCeval.exe for my Real-Time target and i saw these messages:
Loading Ethernet Drivers:
 Intel 8255x    Ethernet              initialized successfully
 Intel 8254x    Ethernet              initialized successfully
 Broadcom 57xx  Ethernet              initialized successfully

How can i do for these messages?

Thanks.

Dear sir ,

As I mentioned in the email to you as well. The error talks about the Ethernet drivers not present or not correctly installed. Please check the same and let me know.

Also as mentioned in the above posts have you tried checking if in first place your industrial pc is compatible with the RT or not?

Please give some more details.

Thank You.

You should try to find out what ethernet chipset is used in your PC. Probably support for your chipset has been added in later versions of LV RT. Then you could use LV2009 probably.

If you have any expansion slots (PCI, PCIe, ...) you could insert an ethernet card that is supported.

If both is not possible you won't be able to use your PC as RT target.

Always check on the requirements document (link in my last post) before purchasing hardware to be used as RT target.
