Export Build from sbRIO

[j_schm]

Hello everyone,
A sbRIO-9627 was loaded with a program by a former employee at work. Unfortunately, this employee is no longer with our company and we no longer know which version or which program components were ultimately installed.

The first thing we need to do is find out what was installed and, ideally, install it on another sbRIO (or a modified version). Is there a way to display and export the installed build?

If you require any further information, please let me know.

Kind regards,
Jannik

Hi Jannik,

have you tried to check the sbRIO data with MAX?

Here you usually manage NI hardware, including software installations for (c)RIO targets!

First step should be to check your SCC tool for the latest version of the project used to deploy onto that sbRIO!

Hi

Google is your friend, and asking it 'ni rt linux disk folders layout' gets you this :

AI-overview

NI Linux Real-Time disk folder structure generally follows standard Linux conventions, but with specific locations for NI-related files and applications. The root directory is /, and paths use forward slashes. NI Linux RT targets do not have a C drive; instead, directories like /c and /c/ni-rt are provided for compatibility, with /c/ni-rt/startup typically redirecting to /home/lvuser/natinst/bin for startup applications. The /tmp directory is a temporary folder that gets cleared on restart. 

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

• Root Directory:

  The main directory is /, similar to other Linux systems. 

• File Paths:

  File paths use forward slashes ( / ) as separators, and are case-sensitive. 
• No C Drive:

  Unlike Windows, NI Linux Real-Time doesn't have a C drive; instead, it uses the / (root) directory as the starting point for the file system. 
• /c and /c/ni-rt:

  These directories exist for compatibility reasons, and /c/ni-rt/startup is typically a symbolic link to /home/lvuser/natinst/bin. 
• /home/lvuser/natinst/bin:

  This is the recommended directory for storing startup applications on NI Linux Real-Time targets. 
• /tmp:

  This is a temporary directory, and its contents are deleted upon reboot. 
• Permissions:

  NI Linux Real-Time enforces file and folder access permissions, according to National Instruments. 
• USB Drives:

  USB drives are typically mounted under the /media directory, such as /media/sda1. 
• WebDAV:

  For transferring files to a cRIO (CompactRIO), the /home/lvuser/natinst/bin directory is often used. 

Meaning, you connect to the sbRIO and browse its file system looking for the startup folder.

With the information found there, search your SCC or wherever you can find similar files.

Happy hunting
