Does Labview desktop real time work with 7th generation CPU?

[zhao1119]

We are picking up the hardware for the desktop real time. I am wondering whether the 7th generation CPU works for the ETS RTOS. NI doesn't update the hardware compatibility document after 2014. It is hard to find the info. Thanks.

I suppose you are commenting on this article: 

NOTE The 2014+ hardware architectures have been tested and confirmed to work with LabVIEW 2018.. NI does not plan on testing new RT PC compatible hardware for future version of LabVIEW.

Looks like you have to figure it out yourself?

Thank you for your reply. I looked at this document already. I am wondering if someone tried before and give me some clue.

Honestly I'd really have hoped that NI would have announced a new Linux RT desktop platform by now but that just hasn't happened yet.  NI Week is in a couple months and there has been rumors about what NI plans on doing with the platform but there just hasn't been an update to the official process for turning a desktop into a RT capable system in a long time.

As for the current path forward, I'd be surprised if it doesn't work.  Intel CPU instructions are pretty well backwards compatible and while I don't have a system to test with I'd be surprised if it didn't work.
