LINX 3.0 on the Raspberry Pi 2, 3 and 4 running Raspbian Buster

Hi joni2001, Paramasivan, WayneZhou,

I think the errors you are getting are due to your /etc/apt/sources.list file.

The file should only have one reference to http://feeds.labviewmakerhub.com

The file contents can be viewed by entering the command
cat /etc/apt/sources.list

The contents of the file should be 
deb http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian/ buster main contrib non-free rpi
# Uncomment line below then 'apt-get update' to enable 'apt-get source'
#deb-src http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian/ buster main contrib non-free rpi
deb [trusted=yes] http://feeds.labviewmakerhub.com/debian/ binary/

To edit the file you can use the command

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

You can then continue the installation procedure by entering the commands

sudo apt-get update
# Install the LINX package. Error messages will be displayed for the
# nisysserver.service and labview.service
sudo apt-get install -y lvrt-schroot
# Move the nisysserver.service and labview.service files to the systemctl folder
sudo mv /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/nisysserver.service /lib/systemd/system
sudo mv /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/labview.service /lib/systemd/system
# link liblinxdevice.so to the Raspberry PI device driver file liblinxdevice_rpi2.so
sudo schroot -c labview -d /usr/lib -- ln -s liblinxdevice_rpi2.so liblinxdevice.so
# Enable the nisysserver.service and labview.service to start on boot
sudo systemctl enable nisysserver.service
sudo systemctl enable labview.service
# Start the nisysserver.service and labview.service
sudo systemctl start nisysserver.service
sudo systemctl start labview.service

I recommend running the procedure detailed in my first post on a new installation of Raspbian Buster.

Hope this helps,

Andy.

Works perfectly on the raspberry pi 4b. Thanks!

I've tested this on Raspberry Pi 3 B with Buster and it works with LabView 19. I've used lvrt19-schroot and there was no error with the LabView services during installation on Raspberry so the final steps are not needed in this combination. Thank you 🙂

Thank you very much for the code.

I have executed the instructions successfully on my Raspberry Pi 3B+.

But now I have the problem that my laptop couldn't connect to raspberry pi over Labview 2019.

I only get a connection with the windows remote App.

What have you undermeadow done that you can connect the raspberry with your Labview on your Laptop?

Because my Laptop does not find the target.

Hi lab19rasp,

LINX 3.0 on the Raspberry PI only supports LabVIEW 2014: https://www.labviewmakerhub.com/doku.php?id=libraries:linx:faq#10

NI have a beta version of Labview 2020 Community Edition that includes a newer version of LINX.

There is more information at https://forums.ni.com/t5/NI-Blog/LabVIEW-Community-Edition/ba-p/3970512

There is an older NI LINX beta that supports LabVIEW 2019. Here is a link to a great blog that describes how to install it

To use LINX with LabVIEW 2019 you would need to have the LINX 2019 beta tool kit installed on the PC and lvrt19-schroot installed on the Raspberry Pi.

Hello AndyLB,

Thank you for your useful answers.

I could not find the LINX 2019 beta tool kit some where?

check the space is in front of " binary" not normally is a space there.. i left it out first try

After many trials of the above helps to use LINX with LV2020,  what seemed to work in my case was to use the below shown install line after the install had failed with "Dpkg-deb: error: paste subprocess was killed by signal (Broken pipe)" from both LINX Target Configuration dialog driven install and the command line manual install.

I should note that the library I used which worked to connect to LV2020 was lvrt20-schroot

sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/lvrt20-schroot_20.0.0-3_armhf.deb

Hi Andy!

The instructions worked for LabVIEW 2020 Community Edition, but doesn't seem to work for LabVIEW 2020 Professional Edition. In addition, is there a way to install necessary software like vision runtime onto the rasp pi 4?

Thanks!
