LV2020Pro + RPi 4 Unable to connect to the target

Solved!
Go to solution

Hi, I'm running into a bit of a wall trying to connect to a Raspberry Pi 4 through the LINX Target Configuration tool in LV2020Pro with LINX toolkit from VIPM installed.  I'm able to SSH into it from my desktop (Win10) but when connecting through the configuration tool, I get "Device interrogation failed: Unable to connect to the target."

 

Background:

- Installed latest Raspberry Pi OS on a 32gb sd card using Raspberry Pi Imager, configured OS

- In Raspberry Pi Configuration, enabled SSH, SPI, I2C, Serial Port, Remote GPIO and disabled Serial Console

- Verified wifi internet connection, visible in router client list

- Attempted to connect through configuration tool from Win10 desktop, get above error message

- Connect RPi 4 to router with ethernet, disable wifi on RPi 4.  Verified cabled internet connection, visible in router client list.

- Attempted to connect through configuration tool, get above error message again

- Following: http://www.diy.ind.in/raspberry-pi/52-raspberry-pi-with-ni-linx-toolkit Opened command prompt, installed LINX, output:

- Attempted to connect again with configuration tool, same error

- RPi 4 also not visible when trying to add a target to a project

- I do get a message from the LINX Target Configuration tool saying "This wizard will install LabVIEW 2014 support to the target device.  You will only be able to connect to and use the device from LabVIEW 2014." Can I not connect using LV2020Pro?

 

Any help is appreciated.  Thank!

In short you can connect to a RPi with LabVIEW 2020 Professional.  I have done this on an RPi 3.

 

What NI software do you have installed?  I found that I was not able to target my RPi in a project until after I installed LabVIEW Real-time.

Here is my post on my experience setting up LabVIEW 2020 Professional and the RPi 3.

Currently running 20.0.1 32-bit, also have Real-time module installed, as well as some other modules.  Also have another 2019 installation, but not running that in this instance.

I get the same error you initially indicate in that link when trying to open that project, however, I do have Real-time 2020 installed.

The prompt about 2014 makes me think that you have the wrong version of LINX installed.  I would uninstall what you have and make sure you install the 2020 version from VIPM.

 

Another thought would be start over with the RPi OS and make the minimum changes to the setup before connecting with LabVIEW.  Maybe a change you made is interfering.

Well if you are getting the same error I was but you say you have Real-time installed then what is different with what I have installed and what you have installed?

 

I have never had good luck with multiple versions of LabVIEW on the same system.

I had tried uninstalling and reinstalling LINX from VIPM, same issue.  I do have 2019 and 2020 installed, as I've got some applications deployed using 2019.  As far as differences in our installations, I have quite a few other modules installed, both 2019 and 2020 versions, but I haven't had any issues with them interfering with LINX when connecting with Arduinos in 2019.  I can try reinstalling the OS on the Pi, but I don't think I'd modified anything out of the ordinary when setting it up prior to trying to connect.  Will report back.

Tried reinstalling RPi OS, enabled SSH, connected over ethernet, same error.  It seems like its some issue with LabVIEW as I can SSH in no problem.  Tried uninstalling the LINX toolkit from 2019, still same error.  As well, the same error you described in your link persists, where the target displays an error in the project.  Checked my licenses for RT2020 and LV2020, both are alright.  Running everything as admin... kind of scratching my head staring at this.  The prompt about LV2014 is concerning, but I don't think there's another version of LINX that I can install (3.0.1.192).

You are using the wrong version of LINX I think

 

you need the one highlighted for LV2020

I have found so far that the IO lines work with RPi 4 but the Serial does not. infact the Serial I have found to only work on RPi 2.. it will not work on RPi 3 or RPi 4
