cRIO Startup code corrupts on boot, reformatting doesn't help.

Hello,
This week we have been having trouble with the cRIO in two different ways. First of all, the cRIO somehow managed to set itself to get an address via DHCP, and though multiple reformats didn't help, we were able to fix this with the MAX Measurement and Automation Explorer, but now when we try to boot the cRIO with deployed code, the robot reboots a couple of times, and then the status light blinks four times every second. MAX says that the error is that the cRIO had rebooted to many times and had been put into safe mode because of a corrupt startup program, but the code looks fine in Labview, and when we load the default code from a new project, the same thing happens. Is it possible that more than the TCP/IP settings got changed in the cRIO?

WarrenP,

Saw your post and know how frustrating it can be to wait for an answer and so wanted to help so I went searching for you. I found this post in the FIRST forums. This has the contact information for National Instruments. I would get in touch with them ASAP to try and figure out what's going on...

Good Luck!

Hello Quattda,

I am sorry for the confusion here. After doing some searching I was able to find your post. The reason that you did not get a response is because you actually posted on the LabVIEW forums and not on the FIRST Specific forums.

You can find the NI FIRST Forums on www.ni.com/first (there are tabs towards the top of the page and one of the tabs is Discussions). We will be very happy to answer any questions from there.

Also, just so you know we have phone support from 1:00pm to 7:00pm Central Time. To get in touch with us you can call (866) 511-6285.

In regards to the issue that you are running into, LabVIEW FRC 2010 is not supported on Windows 64 bit. It may work and it may not but it was never officially tested for Windows 64 bit. The one piece of advice that I have is to make sure that you are installing it as a 32-bit application but beyond that unfortunately I do not have any other suggestions. Another option is that you could use the Intel Classmate to program as it has the development software installed on it. I know the keyboard is a little on the small side but all you have to do is run the Mandatory Updates for LabVIEW and the Driver Station and you are ready to go.

Please let me know if there is anything else that I can do for you and feel free to contact National Instruments in the future either on the NI FIRST Forums or through FIRST Phone Support and we will be very happy to assist you. I hope this helps!

Thanks!

Please check that all the DIP switches on the cRIO are in the OFF position.
(page 12 of the cRIO-FRC operating instructions)
It may not be the case, but it's the only thing I could think of other than the cRIO having a manufacturing flaw.

Thank you guys! You are both alot of help!
I will make a new post on the LabView forums and hopefully post an answer shortly!

Thanks again for the help! We contacted NI and found out that we needed to use MAX instead of the imaging tool AND that the cRIO had to be in safe mode first, along with the fact a new update had been released.
