Programmatic CompactRIO Firmware Download
Hello LabVIEW Forums,
I maintain a program which utilizes the compactRIO 9034, 9040, 9048, and 9049. I also like to stay up-to-date with my LabVIEW development, hence, I must periodically update all compactRIOs to the latest firmware, software, and FPGA bitfiles.
Automating the update of the bitfiles and software is easy! I am wondering: is there a way to programmatically download the ".cfg" firmware files for a given compactRIO?
These files are usually included in the "NI CompactRIO" package in package manager. However, I have been able thus far to simply utilize the NI runtimes and an installer to circumvent the need for end-users to download NI Package Manager.
Are these files located somewhere on https://download.ni.com/# ? Is there a mirror elsewhere?
An alternative question...would I be allowed to host the relevant .cfg's on my GitHUB for my program to pull down as required? This way I could at least tie it into my build-chain, and end-users would then be able to fully update their hardware & software all from within my executable.
Many thanks for any help!
