How can I validate a RT image before apply to the target?

Hi,

    Is there a way to validate a RT image before apply to the target? I want to make sure at least it is a RT image not some other kinds of files are wriiten to the target.

    Thanks!

For what class of controller?  

Regardless of the answer, you generally want to check to make sure specific files exist - generally those that reside in the root directory of the image.  For PXI controllers and x86-based cRIOs, you're looking for ph_exec* files.  For PPC-based cRIO controllers, you're looking for a vxworks and target.out file, and for Linux-based cRIOs you'd be looking for linux-specific files.  Absence of those files would tell you that the image is DEFINITELY not a legal image.  The presence of those files doesn't necessarily mean it's legal, but it's certainly a lot closer than just some random grouping of files.
