Standalone Executable makes FPGA disappear

Hey everyone!

I did a project using a myRio-1900 which works fine when deployed through Labview. However, the client doesn't have all the necessary toolboxes, so I thought it would be a good idea to build the executable and deploy it through NI MAX instead.

 

When having a fresh myRio, the first step was to load the FPGA bitfile through NI MAX (as described here: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/BAAA6D86CDDD583C8625729E00572C8B). This step works fine, and if the project is afterwards deployed using Labview, everything works fine.

 

The next step is to install the executable using NI MAX. I followed the steps described here: http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/370622K-01/lvrthowto/rt_building_rt_app/ under the section "Deploying from outside of the Labview development environment". The application installs and runs correctly, but for some reason the FPGA seems to have vanished. It is no longer visible in NI MAX, and trying to access it (e.g. using the Encoder express VI to read the value) results in an error.

 

Installing the default accelerometer example reverts everything back to normal. I am quite in over my head with this, and not sure whether I need to change something in the build settings of the executable, or if it is a more fundamental problem. Any help would be much appreciated!

 

Thanks and cheers, Christoph
