Re: No robot code
Thanks. I wasn't sure since the NI site stated this:
-----
"This software is the third mandatory update for the LabVIEW portion of the FIRST Robotics Competition Software 2011. You MUST install this update in order to compete in the FIRST Robotics Competition.
This software update is meant to be installed ONLY after installing LabVIEW FRC from the DVD that comes with the 2011 Controls Kit."
---------
It doesn't explicitly state that this is a labview development software update, cRIO update or both. The last sentence seems to indicate that it's only a development software update and the FPGA update called out in team update 12 (image version FRC_2011_v28) is something else. I can't even correlate the v28 image version with the FPGA version bundled with FRC 2011 LV Update 3.2. I haven't tried to use the imager software to figure out if I have the right FPGA image. Maybe the LV update 3.2 contains an FPGA image that is older than the v28. If that is the case, where can I find v28?
It kind of makes my head spin.
Any comments?
In the company I work for, we have a configuration management process that calls out all the CSCI's (computer software configuration item) necessary for a particular build of software rolled up into one identification number. This would be extremely helpful to avoid what has happened to us occasionally at competitions where an inspector views our software version and checks against his list and states we need to update our software.
