I would like to know if it is possible to build and deploy custom images of the Linux based RT OS on the cRIO. Specifically, I have leveraged the linux system to include a SQL server (tutorial found here) on the cRIO-9038. Once the application is complete I will need to do the same thing for many more cRIO-9038s. I am looking to make an image of the OS after I have finalized all the changes so that it is easy to deploy in the future.
In development so far I have noticed that upgrading the firmware to 7.1.0f0 also updated the operating system. Is it possible to create an image of the firmware that can be flashed to other cRIOs?

I have no confidence this solution completely resolve your question but, do you know RAD utility tool?
Is this tool helpful?
Replicating and Deploying NI Real-Time System Images
Above KB says
"you can deploy the 2015 image and everything (including Linux version)"

I have looked at the 2016 RAD utility and was unable to copy over the OS. It looked like the image was duplicated, but the OS was unchanged.
