Well, you wrote it twice, once in the subject, once in the message body.  It didn't make it any clearer as to what you are asking for.

Please provide a little more detail as to what you are trying to do and where you are stuck.

sorry for t,hat... I was working on existing RT project which has RT code and fpga code. before i came to the project pxi box was configured with PharLap RT installed. Now i got new pxi box with same hardware but only windows OS in it. below are my questions..

1. can i run existing project on windows installed pxi?

2. What are all needs be there to say it is a RT taget?

3. can i run existing RT code on windows, download fpga code and make it work together in same box

Thanks in advance,

Ranjith

Ranjith,

I think the answer for your 1st que is NO. In the sense, you can run the code, but it may not work precisely as it is supposed to...

A target can be said to be an RT, if & only if it has an RTOS installed in it, not just Windows, which is not a real-time OS.

Youcan run the existing code in Windows, but as I said earlier, it may not give you the actual results.

Finally, hereafter, pl dont use the term 'box' for a PXI. It is a chassis with a main module that runs on Windows or an embedded RT processor/conrtoller that runs on an RTOS like VxWorks or Phsr Lap.

Hope this helps you to some extent...

1. i would like to test my code on windows with fpga. how do i do this?

       - how to download fpga code

       - how to keep my binary on OS startup

       - how to configure windows installed PXI chassis to see on network/MAX

2. if i have to install RTOS, what is the procedure to do it?

I have several questions like above.. are there any guidelines which i can go thru and setup my PXI chassis as required.

Hi, Ranjith

This might help you as your problems are very generic

I think some of the embedded PXI RT controllers come with preloaded RTOS.

I m not sure about the rest of your queries. May be you can contact the local NI in India.
