FPGA and Scan Engine Deployment Error

[Ghost_coder]

Looking for a solution or automated work-around for this issue:

I am using Veristand 2020R4 and a cRIO-9045 with 1 card in FPGA mode and the rest in Scan Engine mode.  After a reboot, and I try to deploy I get error "The chassis is in Scan Interface programming mode.  To load FPGA bitfiles, go to the Controller properties page in System Explorer and change the FPGA / Scan interface mode to FPGA Mode."  Error -61201.

I just have to do what the error says, change Controller from Use Current to FPGA Mode, and deploy again.  After that I get this error as expected:

"There was a mismatch between the modules configured in the system definition and what was detected on the target system."

The cards are all changed to FPGA mode during deployment, so then I have to change then in NI-MAX to the appropriate mode, and then set the controller properties in Veristand back to Use Current.

NI acknowledges the bug, just wondering what can be done?
