Deploy a VI through the USB port, with a flash drive. sbRIO 9637

[max446249]

Hi,

According to my project, I have to run a standalone VI on my sbRIO for a real time application.

In the future, i want to "update" the sbRIO by connecting a flash drive and pushing a button.

This "update" is actually replacing the running Vi by the new one on my USB flash drive and restart the sbRIO.

Is that possible ? or is FTP method the only way ?

Thank you very much.

Hi Max,

It is possible but it would require a bit of coding on your side.

First of all I would recommend having a look at the following page:

What you could do is create a script that is being called when you need it to that does the following:

- Mount usb stick

- Check if files exist

- If exists, remove old file in startup

- If exists, copy file

- restart

*Pro tip*: You don't have to change the ini file if the names are the same.
