Configure packages using OPKG on myRIO

[gomezramones]

I would to install some packages on myRIO 1900 using OPKG and I install OpenSSH by Cygwin to achieve that. The problem that I have at this moment is logging myRIO using the SSH commands.

When the program ask me for the password, it doesn't allow me to put anything like it was blocked.

Are you sure it is blocking it?  Have you tried to type in the password and hit enter?  I think bash and other shells will not show the * for each character you type.  This is for security so someone watching your screen doesn't know how long your password is.

hoovahh is correct the shells don't show anything when you type in your password.

also note that you have the device name it seems as your login user, that may be wrong.

in MAX set a username and password for the administrative account and activate SSH.

then you can login with either cygwin/babun's ssh or putty (or use any linux/osx to test):

"ssh USERNAME@MACHINE_IP"

yes you were right. I put admin@MACHINE_IP and it works. Thanks. 

I have another question. When I finish installing all the library that I need, how can I use it on LabVIEW? I know that I have to use Call Library Function Node but I'm having trouble with that

Here is a little information on the call library node:

But if the installed package has a command line interface, it is much easier to write code that uses the system exec function.  This will function just as the bash shell would.
