[FPGA] connection issue with compile worker on linux machine

Hi everyone,

 

I am trying to install a compile worker on a linux machine in order to reduce my FPGA compile times. My controller/compile server is a PXIe-8880 with windows 7, running Labview 2015 32-bit, with a 7961R FPGA target.

 

My compile worker is installed on a CentOS 7 virtual machine, on an Ubuntu host. I followed this tutorial and advice from this thread to set it up, I think I got it right!

There are no firewalls between the two machines since they are on the same subnet of the company network. From the linux virtual machine I can access the Windows controller from a browser, typing <name_of_controller>:3582. However, when I try to run the CompileWorker executable on the linux side, I get an athentication error. I am using <name_of_controller> as the hostname, and the username and password of the Windows account. The log from "workerLog.txt" is below.

 

So far I can't seem to get around this error, but searching the forums doesn't bring any relevant results.

 

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi blum22,

does it help if you disable the admin password on the Windows computer?

Hi stockson,

 

Unfortunately it doesn't help. I also tried to simplify the username, removed a space and so on, but it didn't make any difference so far.

Am I the only one with this problem? I am wondering if it could be due to a missing or broken software component on the PXI controller. I am getting an error from the NI update service thath the NI Labview Xilinx Vivado component is missing when it should be installed.

All help appreciated.

 

Thanks,

blum22

I think it will be the best if you contacted your local NI support. Please go on ni.com/ask and create a service request.

I apologize for not updating this thread earlier. I did eventually contact my NI support, but I ended up finding the solution myself. By browsing in the notes from the Labview FPGA course I saw that in the authentication box on the Linux compile worker side, the username should be admin and the password field should stay empty. The compile worker now shows as connected to the server, but when I tested a compilation I got an error quickly in the compilation process. I will post more about this shortly.

 

Cheers,

blum22
