Re: how to transfer the program to the crio?
Important note about the Debugging task is to ensure that you Undeploy your Downloaded code prior to attempting to 'Run Kernel Task'.

The reason is that the Download option copies a file to the file system on the cRIO, then that file executes when you restart the robot. The 'Run Kernel Task' option copies EVERYTHING over to the robot, but in a different place and starts running it. So, if you've got downloaded code running and you try to debug you will get, at best, inconsistent results.

So, prior to the 'Run Kernel Task...' make sure you goto the FIRST menu and select Undeploy.
