Error when deploying a system definition file to a RT target

[Arcanix]

Hello,

I have been using LabVIEW for a while, but I am new to VeriStand. I got a new cRIO controller for more robust real-time performance without Windows hiccups. I need to start using VeriStand custom devices. I will use VeriStand APIs in a LabVIEW program running on the host PC to control various devices using the VeriStand Engine. I took a look at an example LabVIEW project shipped with VeriStand 2023 in the following folder as it looked simple.

C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2023\examples\NI VeriStand\Custom Devices\Communication Example

I opened Example Client.vi and followed the instructions. I verified that Configuration and Engine libraries were created in the following folder by building their Source Distribution.

C:\Users\Public\Documents\National Instruments\NI VeriStand 2023\Custom Devices\Communication Example

I created a new VeriStand project and added the Communication Example custom device in System Explorer. Target’s Operation System is Windows and its IP address is localhost. I press Deploy and run the Example Client VI. It works fine.

Now I want to deploy the example system definition file to the cRIO RT target. Target’s Operating System is Linux_64 and IP address is 169.254.148.39. I press Deploy and get these error messages.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Did you create the custom device using the template shipped by VeriStand or niveristand-custom-device-wizard

The custom device XML should define SupportedTarget of Linux_x64. You should also need to build Engine Release for Linux_64.lvlib. See Create VeriStand Custom Device for Real Time Target

Thank you for the pointers. The custom device is one of the examples that came with VeriStand. I didn't use any template or wizard. It seems I have to digest more basics first to make sense of it.

Have you edited your VeriStand system def (press the config button) and clicked on hardware to set the IP for the system def to deploy to?
