The obvious cRIO communication connections were all off-limits for custom circuits last year. With that restriction, getting useful data from a coprocessor in a timely fashion might be a significant challenge all by itself.

It seems to me that the only reasonable way to get data from the Axis camera to a coprocessor under those rules would be via a direct connection to the camera's ethernet port. That leaves the cRIO's second port unused (and unusable).
