NI PXIe-6361 Linux driver

[responsive_nano]

Hi,

I am facing the following problem: I have a NI rack with a PXIe-6361 card connected to my PC, which is running ScientificLinux 7. Furthermore I am using a BNC 2090 Rack mount.

Although I installed the NI_DAQmx Base 15.0 drivers, the official NI documentation tells me that my card is not officially supported by this driver base. Therefore it's not suprising that I can't find any daq devices with my computer.

So my question here would then be, is there any way to make this card working with Linux, maybe some third party drivers? Or maybe someone knows a workaround of some sort? I really would hate to install Windows just because of that .

Cheers

PCIe X Series support on Linux is available through the Driver Development Kit (DDK).

The DDK is not a driver and an API, but a set of C/C++ source files that demonstrates the hardware's different features. Still, you should be able to reuse or remix the examples to suit your requirements.

directly passing through everything to userland ? running everything as root ? seriously ?!

*facepalm*
