From Friday, April 19th (11:00 PM CDT) through Saturday, April 20th (2:00 PM CDT), 2024, ni.com will undergo system upgrades that may result in temporary service interruption.
We appreciate your patience as we improve our online experience.
When installing the latest Linux drivers, I received a message saying that I had to disable SMAP. Note that this was while installing the NI-DAQmx drivers, and I rebooted the system disabling SMAP, so I cannot speak to the other drivers. However, I am not comfortable with having SMAP disabled.
NI tends not to publish specific product plans or timelines, but I can say that they do recognize the importance of fully supporting systems with SMAP enabled.
GabeJ is correct, we do recognize the importance. We're currently working on validating our drivers with SMAP enabled, and are tentatively shooting for the 20.0 driver release to be able to remove that message to disable SMAP. This timeline could change, but that's our best guess right now.
Thanks,
Rita Prather Software Product Manager rita.prather@ni.com National Instruments
