DriverStation is not loadable

Solved!
Go to solution

I'm attempting to run the Driver Station software on an older machine, and I get this error when I try to run it:

An error occurred loading VI 'DS UI.vi'.

LabVIEW load error code 57: This VI was compiled on a platform with CPU features not available on this host (SSE/SSE2). Rebuild the application with SSE disabled to support this target.

My CPU is a Pentium III which has SSE but not SSE2.  Is there any chance of being able to run DriverStation on this machine?

I realize this is an old CPU, but I've been unable to find system requirements for DriverStation.  I'm hoping to utilize the compute resources we have available to us.

Hey Jeff,

The Driver Station Executable is built with SSE2 optimization enabled so on a non SSE2 machine you won't be able to run it. That being said I will see if we can release a copy of the driver station with those optimizations turned off.

Thanks, Kevin, for the quick reply!

Running on an older machine would be useful.  But only if it doesn't come at the cost of performance.  Driver station uses a fair amount of CPU on slower machines (eg, Classmate), and in my opinion, it's not worth impacting that performance.

Hey Jeff,

For this year its not going to be an option to release a copy of the driver station without SSE2 optimization on. We are going to look at turning it off for next year if there is not a performance hit.

Quite understandable.  Thanks for looking into it.
