If your Classmate is a blank slate then image your replacement classmate with the 2011 stick that came in the KOP (takes about 20 minutes). You can reimage it in any case, just be sure the stick image matches your Classmate model.
1. With the Classmate powered OFF, insert the bootable USB Key into an available USB port. Do not use a USB hub, plug the Key directly into the Classmate.
2. Power on the Classmate and when you see the 2Go PC screen, repeatedly press F12 until a small window appears entitled “Please Select Boot Device”.
3. Using the cursor keys, select the USB Key. It will likely be the second item in the list, beginning with USB:xxxx. Do not select the USB:Generic device, this is not your USB Key. If two identical looking USB items show up, don’t worry. Select the first of the two.
4. Press Enter and allow the Classmate to boot from the USB Key. Be patient, it can take a minute or more for wpeinit to finish.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions
After a reimage you need to register your Windows 7 license (needs to be connected to the Internet).
Then apply only the
latest updates, not all the ones in-between (takes a few minutes each).
If you use your Classmate for programming, or to reimage the cRIO, then some combination of:
- LabVIEW DVD from the KOP via an external DVD drive or copied lock stock and barrel to at least a 4GB thumb drive (takes more than an hour to install, wants to be Internet connected at the end to activate the license)
- LabVIEW Update (takes a few minutes)
- Windriver C++ DVD from the KOP via an external DVD drive or a thumb drive (must be Internet connected to begin, takes 45 minutes)
- C/C++ Update (takes a few minutes)
- NetBeans IDE available online (takes a little while)
- Java Update (takes a few minutes)
- There are some other Java setup instructions too.
