Problem installing LINX 3.0 on Raspberry Pi 3

[Liepo]

Hi there,
For starters I'm going to give you the basic information about the equipment I'm using:

Computer:
Windows 7 - SP1
LabView 2014 SP1 - 64 Bits
*LabView 2015 - 32 Bits
LINX 3.0.1.192

Raspberry:
Pi 3 - Model B
OS: Debian 9.1

If you need any other information please let me know.

The problem I'm having is the following:
I connect to the Raspberry using either MobaXterm or Putty without any problems, and can ping my IP, or google IP normally.
When using Labview 2015 I can connect to the Raspberry as a Target through LINX and even Install it, but afterwards I try to run the Example, but instead it gives me this message: "Unknown is a not valid LINX Target". And after it makes a mess on the connections settings of my Raspi and I can't even connect to it using Putty anymore..
So, I did a little research and found out that I probably needed to use Labview 2014 version because it is the one compatible to LINX. But when I try to Connect Target using the Labview 2014 version it gives me this answer: "Device interrogation failed: Unable to connect to the target."

One of the ways I was trying to solve this was by following these instructions: "https://www.labviewmakerhub.com/doku.php?id=learn:libraries:linx:misc:target-manual-install"
STEP 1: But as it is it was not working for me, so I edited the "sources.list" file using the command "sudo nano" and added a line with

"deb http://feeds.labviewmakerhub.com/debian/binary/ stretch main contrib non-free$".

STEP 2: Then when I run "sudo apt-get update" i get the following:

STEP 3: And when I try to Install the Labview Target Support I get the following:

[pi@RaspberryIC:~ $ sudapt-get install -y --force-yes lvrt-schroot
Lendo listas de pacotes... Pronto
Construindo árvore de dependências
Lendo informação de estado... Pronto
E: Impossível encontrar o pacote lvrt-schroot[/code]

Translating it would be something like:

Reading lists of packages... Ready
Building tree of dependencies
Reading status information... Ready
E: Imposible to find package lvrt-schroot

I don't know if there is another way to install the lvrt-schroot package, or if I am doing something wrong. Maybe the configurations "stretch main contrib non-free" I added to the "sources.list" file don't make sense, because I only copied them.
I would be really glad if you could help me, I'm not an expert Linux user and am having a really hard time trying to figure out what to do..

Thanks very much,
Oscar

Hello Liepo ,

First of all, LabVIEW 2014 32-bit is the only LabVIEW version supported for RPi.

I saw a video (link below) from MakerHub, using LabVIEW 2014 SP1. So, please, you must use LabVIEW 2014 or 2014 SP1 32-bit (NOT 64-bit).

And about Raspberry Pi 3, you need to use Raspbian OS.

I found the instructions following these links:

02 | LINX Software Setup
04 | Raspberry Pi Setup

Please, follow MakerHub tutorials. I think that will be the best way.

[blackburnite]

As DanWilfer mentioned, this is likely due to having the wrong OS installed on your Pi.  The stretch/ in each of those printouts from the apt-get cmd refers to Debian Stretch, which is what Raspian is based on https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/

Follow the installation guide from RBP and the tutorials DanWilfer linked.

[billko]

I think you will have issues if you use the NOOB install.  I think that the LINX install wants to create its own partition, but NOOB already uses all of it.  If I remember correctly, the install hangs, but I still believe it installs correctly.  You'll have to visit the LINX forum for details - which are very abundant.  I believe our own Bob Schor had a lot to do with the troubleshooting.

[Liepo]

So, I followed what DanWilfer said and re-installed the Labview (now a 32-bit version), and on the Raspberry installed the newest version of the Raspbian (Release date:2017-09-07), NOT using NOOB, but directly with the Win32DiskImager.

Now I'm able to connect to the raspberry using the LINX on Labview 2014, and even install it. But afterwards I try to launch the example and get the same warning "Unknown is a not valid LINX Target"

The log file from the LINX contains the following:

Connecting to target...
Successfully connected to target.
Successfully connected to the target.
Target configuration updated.
OS Version: 9.1
CPU: 
Systemd Version: 
Has Internet Access: True
Device Type: Unknown

Connecting to target...

CPU: 
Systemd Version: 
Has Internet Access: True
Device Type: Unknown

Target configuration updated.
OS Version: 9.1
CPU: 
Systemd Version: 
Has Internet Access: True
Device Type: Unknown

What am I doing possibly wrong? I'm really running out of options and don't know how to proceed..

Thanks a lot for your attention.

Can you still connect with putty?

If so, what is the output of the command:

cat /proc/cpuinfo

It should contain:

BCM2709

That is what LINX is looking for when trying to identify what device you have.

[Liepo]

It shows BCM2835..Could be it ?

[billko]

It's been a while, but I think I had to find the target by IP address.

[blackburnite]

Could be.

Maybe try adding a new case to this vi so that BCM2835 returns a device type of Raspberry Pi 2 B as well:

[Labview 2014 Program Folder]\vi.lib\MakerHub\LINX\Private\Utilties\Target Management\Get Device Type.vi

Normally you shouldn't edit 3rd party VIs like that because if they change in the future and you update, it could blow away any custom changes you made.  But you could do this just to see if that lets it launch.
