Labview for ipEngine

[Dave Langstaff]

Hi,

Is anyone working on a Labview RTE for the ipEngine ?

We are using one of these beasts for instrument control here and it looks
to be a damm useful beast. For those who haven't come across
one before, its a linux box about the size of a credit card. The processor
is a powerPC and it comes with 16MB DRAM and 4MP flash.
It talks TCP/IP, USB and RS232 and, most fun of all, has a 16,000
FPGA on board to implement *all sorts* of hardware interfaces etc.

At present I have somebody coding for it in C, but I'd sure
appreciate a way of doing this in Labview.

I have never actually heard of these before. However, if it comes with some sort of code library, such as a DLL, you could try controlling it through that. Just use the Call Library Node to make calls to the DLL's functions.

Thanks, but that not quite what I'm after. I'd like to run Labview
actually on the ipEngine, this is a PowerPc running Posix/Linux.
I can see that LV is available for a PowerPc running MacOS and
for a 80x86 running Linux, what I'd like is a combination of the
two.

At present I'm running Labview on a PC which communcates with
a server written in C on the ipEngine via a TCP link. If I could
get a version of LV to run on the ipEngine then I'd could write
both ends of the link in LV.

Guess this is probably a qu
estion for NI about porting, as it
would need access to the low level code of the run time.
