Error when trying to connect Raspberry Pi using LINX. "Failed to connect to the target"

[sebsuture]

Hello dear all,

I want to use Raspberry Pi 3A+ with LabVIEW.

I follow the installation guide.
The installation goes fine, it can perfectly detect the RPI PI 3A+, it can reboot it automatically during install, and as far as I understood the process, it's installed (Tools->Hobbyist->Target Configuration). There is no connection problem with the installation.

However, when I go in a project, and I do right click -> connect, it makes the error you can see in the screenshot above.

"Failed to connect to the target"

I have the 2023 Q1 Labview community, and the latest Raspbian on the RPI Pi 3A+.
Can someone help me with it ?


Here are the logs during the installation : (I made one again so you can see)

I successfully solved this issue.

I installed a headless preinstalled image of Raspbian directly to the Raspberry Pi.

Found it on GitHub, you can get the image depending on your version of LabVIEW Community.

You just have to flash it, connect to your network by Wi-Fi or ETHERNET (same network as your computer), find your pi IP, and it works fine.

Just don't go through the installation process of LabVIEW Linx and add directly your PI to your project.

For further reference go to this page to learn how setup the raspberry pi.

Also there is a forum dedicated to the Hobbyist toolkit

Can you give more detail how you did this?

I have the same issue as you where Linx installs everything but LV can’t connect.

Edit:

Now I understand what you were saying. 

There’s OS with LV on them already for raspberry pi. You can use the link below to see the GitHub link:

It's so difficult to set up that there are pre-made RPI images out there with hobbyist toolkit installed.  I think NI actually made them.
