Computer requirements as LV RT Target.

[Eblanco]

I am developing a Machine Vision application in which a computer needs to use as RT Target.
I would like to clarify some issues in order to choose the proper hardware components.

1. Does LV RT supports Intel Core 2 Quad family of processors? I think so.

2. I am pondering two hardware architectures:

 A. ATX motherboard.
 B. Single Board computer in a Backplane.

   Are both posible?

3. At least a PCIe card (NI PCIe-8255R IEEE 1394 Interfaces with Reconfigurable DIO) needs to
   be used. Does it makes any difference wether is it plugged in an ATX motherboard(A) or in
   a passive blackplane (B)?

4. Is the HARD DISK a must? Could a Compact Flash + IDE adapter be used instead?.

Any help with any of these questions is welcome.

Hi Eblanco,

This is a manual about How to create a RT Desktop target from a PC,https://www.ni.com/docs/en-US/bundle/371857f/resource/371857f.pdf . Also, this should help you.https://www.ni.com/en/support/documentation/supplemental/08/requirements-for-desktop-pcs-as-phar-lap...

Despite the documentation by NI, I am still searching for answers to my specific case.

I would appreciate any comment or suggestion by anyone who had faced any hardware issue similar to this.

Thanks in advance for your help.
