I've created blank bitfiles for NI-9862 in cRIO chassis [cRIO-9081, etc.] previously.
It's unclear to me if this is required for a cRIO-904x after reviewing these help documents:
1] This article leads me to believe that I do, as this is not an cRIO-903x or 906x:

2] If I do create a blank bitfile, for the 9862 in the cRIO-9045 chassis, I get Error -63101 Deploying System Definition File With NI-986x in NI VeriStand. This article leads me to believe that I should not use a blank bitfile as I can deploy my project. Unfortunately, our CANbus for this project is still in development so I have not been able to test if it works. Just looking for clarification / possible update to these Knowledge Articles.
