No Targets and Devices

[clicks]

I installed LabVIEW 2021(64) with Realtime, FPGA, DAQmx, CompactRIO

After creating a new blank project, I can not add any devices, targets or Daq tasks: 

 when openinig an existing project with a CompactRIO Target, these are not recognized: 

I tried (two times) a complete uninstall of all NI software, including all NI folders in Program and Data folders. Then installing with the Package Manager just LabVIEW 2021 with DAQmx and CompactRIO: 

I tried with fast boot option on and off in Windows 10. 

I tried to repair all packages in the package manager.  

I tried to reset the configurations in MAX.

I tried on a different computer (MS Surface), with the same result). 

Any Idea how to solve this problem?

When adding a target or device, you can add from the project or my computer.

I'd check installation order. Drivers should be last.

On a side note: according to the readme of the FPGA module the 64-bit version of that module only supports a limited number of targets - cRIOs are not yet supported.

So if you want to use the FPGA on your cRIO I strongly assume that you are still stuck with the 32-bit version of LabVIEW (I would be very happy if anybody can prove me wrong on that assumption).

I noticed the same thing.  It also recently bit another LabVIEW Champion in the rear end.  I thought LabVIEW RT was the last thing keeping me from going to 64-bit.  Now, it is cRIO FPGA support.

Exactly what I thought myself when browsing through the readme of the FPGA module. 😞

I just "tested" the LabVIEW 2021 (32-bit) with LabVIEW Real-Time to see if a myRIO Project "transfers" from LabVIEW 2019.  At first, it refused to find the myRIO, but then I discovered I forgot to load the CompactRIO Driver package.

The Good News is that the myRIO is now visible by MAX and by LabVIEW 2021 (as a Real-Time Project target).  The slightly less good news is a few of my VIs were "broken", but easily identified and fixed, and now the FPGA has been compiled.  I can't actually run this yet, as I haven't updated the drivers on the Target (and will wait to do so for a little bit).

Note that I definitely loaded the (CompactRIO) Driver "last" ...

Hi Bob,

a link to the next readme, this time NI CompactRIO 21.0

It states:

"Note  The myRIO-1900 and myRIO-1950 are not supported in NI CompactRIO 21.0 and Drivers. Use version 20.5 or earlier for these devices."

Regards, Jens

Huh?! Aren't the myRIOs current hardware? I don't see anything on the Store that seems to indicate they're EoL or "mature"... seems odd to drop support in the drivers.

Or is this just that the cRIO driver no longer contains it, and there is still a suitable 2021 driver, it just isn't part of the CompactRIO group? (I couldn't see a 2021 myRIO Toolkit or Software Bundle, but then I also don't know if the contents of those are relevant or they are instead the Express VIs and default FPGA personality and so on).

If they're EoL and soon to be dropped it wouldn't be the first time that I'd found out that info from the driver support failing and not from an update of the online store. (Found out about a DAQ card that way last time.)

NI will want to sell all existing stock before changing the website - its a dirty marketing tactic that only gets resolved if you are able to speak to NI inside sales, which seems to no longer exist.

Thanks for the comments. I understood that not all devices are supported on LV 2021(64). But I can not add any device. Also, I can not add any DAQmx task (they are also not recognized in existing projects). There must be something wrong with the insallation. I did install everything with the Package Installer. What can I do to find out what is wrong or fix the problem ?
