Install DAQmx801f0 on PXE OpenSuse 11.0 (diskless target)

[blinde2000]

Hi.

Currently working on a PXI4472.

I am trying to install DAQ8.1

My target board is diskless, so I boot OpenSuse 11.0 via PXE.

Most of the folders (e.g /bin /usr) are NFS Mounted with Read Only option.

So I install DAQ on the Server Machine.

This works fine.

When I exec nilsdev, it works (but I have no PXI board on the server machine)

When I exec nilsdev on the target board, I get an on libnipalu (libnipalu.so failed to initialize)

I tried to insmod the modules that were loaded in host machine but I still got the error on target board.

Any idea ?

Thanks

Chris

ps : the UpdateNidrivers works only on host machine... On target it needs to write in Read Only folders...

Hi.

Well, managed to remove the error on nilsdev...

I just added "/etc/rc.d/nipal start" and the "libnipalu.so failed to initialize" is gone.

I still have an issue because the nilsdev reports no board .

On the host with the same board I get NI PXI-4472:"Dev1".

Help welcome !

Thanks

Attaching reports of niSystemReport

One trace for the host where it works.

One trace for the target where it fails.

Hi

Made it works ...

On my target I start my own init so I don't run any script of the rc folders of the host...

If it can help someone, to make nilsdev work, it needs :

- To have the lo network interface configured (need to add /sbin/ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1)

- To have Write acces to /usr/local/ (need to write some file into a max folder)

- To start the following services or process :

     /usr/local/natinst/max/sbin/nimxs /usr/local/natinst/max/libmxssvr.so
     /etc/rc.d/nipal start
     /usr/local/sbin/nipalsm /etc/natinst/nipal/services/libnidevldu.so.1.4.1
     /usr/local/sbin/nipalsm /etc/natinst/nipal/services/libnipxirmu.so.1.6.0

Now the nilsdev show the plugged cards in my target system...
