I don't expect the FMS to be changing much, at least from a communication protocol standpoint. Teams have used their beta hardware at competitions have have run with the existing FMS.

I doubt there will be any compatibility issues between the 2015+ FMS and the cRIOS, but I still don't foresee the cRIO being competition legal* (especially since all teams will be getting new hardware in their kits)

/speculation

* Of course, we'll have to wait for the actual rules to be released
