RTE, how to use it? Are there step by step instructions to make a runnable file for a SBC, load it and run it?

[QuerulousJohn]

How to use RTE? I need to run my CVI code on a SBC that has its OS on CompactFlash (CF). I have done the Build»Distributions command and made a cds file but don't know if I did it correctly. I have downloaded and installed CVI RTE on my desktop PC, but what to do next to get my CVI code on my SBC's CF? The CF has WindowsEmbedded and so it has the usual Windows folders. So what files do I load on the CF and where do they go?

Help please! And thanks in advance!

John,

I dont know a huge amount about deploying to windows embedded targets, but I would assume you would just install the RTE like you would any other program, then throw the distribution wherever you like to run it from.

Ah, info in the Getting Started manual, http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/373552g.pdf. Hopefully this will be enough info. Where's the embarrassed smiley when I need it (again).

Thanks,

John

The instructions in Chapter 6 of the Getting Started manual work just fine, so I was able to load my simple LabWindows CVI program on my WinSystems PPC3-G-6.5 (http://www.winsystems.com/products/PPC3-G-65.cfm) and get it running. So all is well!
