Error Downloading in WindRiver

[Tanaythan]

For the past few days, we've been trying to use WindRiver Workbench 3.3 to download code through an ethernet cable to an old 8-slot cRIO mounted on our robot. We've been able to build a simple project, connect to the target server, and undeploy. However, when it comes to downloading, the old progress bar from last year's version of Wind River does not show up, and although the "Downloading to robot" dialog box appears, the downloading never ends. Any ideas?

We have the latest cRIO image (43), and the digital module is in port 4.

EDIT: We tried another laptop and we got an I/O error. New WindRiver is so frustrating.

If at all possible, I would recommend sticking with WindRiver 3.0. I know it's not the best IDE (in fact, in my opinion it sucks) but it gets the job done and for the most part, it's reliable. I've tried using 3.3 a little and it didn't seem to work the greatest.

Also, they changed the default Module ports. Analog is 1, Digital is 2, Solenoid is 3 and the rest can be anything.

Make sure you set the team number in the preferences. The downloader uses that to get the IP address to FTP the program to the robot. Also, make sure that any firewall is allowing the FTP connection from Workbench to the robot, maybe try disabling the firewall.

Not true. An 8 slot is Analog - 1, Digital - 2, Solenoid -3, Blank -4 , Analog - 5, Digital - 6, Solenoid - 7, Blank -8. This is in the Getting Started with the 2012 Control System, C++ Getting Started, and Getting Started with Java documents.
