Read text file on a desktop PC used as an RT target to the host computer.

Solved!
Go to solution

When you configure a PC as an RT Target, this involves installing a different Operating System on the PC, replacing Windows.  The file system on the RT Target is (usually? always?) FAT, not NTFS, but a Windows PC will be able to read and write to it (provided it has access to the PC).

 

Generally, there are two ways to access an RT Target's disk -- either over the Network (via FTP, network File sharing, etc.) or by having the RT Target operate in "dual-boot" mode, where it has separate partitions, one having the RT OS, the other Windows.  This can be tricky to configure, but if your system has been set up that way, you could boot to the Windows partition, run Windows, and mount the RT Partition as, say, Drive R: (R for Real-Time -- I'm a fan of mnemonic Drive Letters, such as 😧 for Data, E: for Extra, etc.).
