Raspberry Pi Display options??

[Chad_Peddy]

I added the 7 inch touchscreen display to my Raspberry Pi 4B w 8GB and a 32 GB storage card, has plenty of memory.

No I wish to display my Front Panel on the Pi in the VI settings I enabled the Front Panel view, and restarted many times.

Thoughts or suggestions?  

My goal is to make this a standalone VI running device.

The embedded version of the LabVIEW runtime that is installed on a Raspberry Pi (and Beaglebone Black and most of NI's realtime targets with the exception of a few high end Intel x86 systems) does not support displaying the frontpanel on a local display. There is no magic ini file setting to enable this, as the functionality to display a front panel is simply not present. The only way such a target supports a front panel display is during debugging, with the front panel executing on your development machine and communicating with the VI on the target over the network.

I'm looking to do this with my current setup. Do you have a link to a tutorial or any steps to accomplish this? Thanks

Well!

- What is your current setup?

- What do you want to do?

Hi, thank you for the clear answer to the question of displaying the front panel for a VI deployed to a Raspberry Pi on the Pi's display.

It's been a few years since your post. I'm wondering if there have been any further developments, or if anyone knows if there is a roadmap for enabling the Pi to display the front panel in a future update. This feature would really unlock a lot of functionality!

Thank you very much,

Blake

It's still the same. Changing that would require a significant effort to develop a specific Raspberry Pi personality of LabVIEW rather than repurposing the LabVIEW Realtime for NI Linux setup for ARM based real-time targets. Considering that the potential earnings of such an endeavor for NI are about 0.0 $, chances for such a development are equally 0.0%.
