VeriStand Data Sharing Framework custom components/plugins not found

[gconway3]

Hello all, I am working in VeriStand 2024 Q1 and LabVIEW 2024 Q1 with the VeriStand Custom Devices 2025 Q1 add-on.

For Linux targets, the Data Sharing Framework (DSF) custom device comes with two protocol "components", RDMA and UDP. I have no issue using these default components, but I need to expand the UDP functionality to include multicast and TCP protocols. I am able to achieve this functionality by editing and rebuilding the components from the source LabVIEW project, found here:

https://github.com/ni/niveristand-data-sharing-framework-custom-device-plugins

When I make my edits, rebuild to the same component library name (UDP.lvlibp), and move the library file to the custom device installation location, the component works as expected. E.g., I'm able to send multicast messages/establish TCP communication with remote devices. The problem is, I need both the default UDP component and my custom multicast/TCP components running on the same project. If I try renaming the library to UDPmulticast.lvlibp, then using this component name when creating a DSF plugin, I get an error that "the component cannot be found".

The components are being sent to the target PXIe from my control PC. I can find them in the file system of the PXIe target. VeriStand is simply not recognizing them as components. Any idea what I need to do to rectify this?
