cRIO says: FRC_UserProgram failed to load.

Yes, we are using a camera but we haven't added the code for that. Our original code ran the robot very well as a kernel task.

We tried to compile and deploy SimpleTemplate, made sure -mlongcall was there but had a new error message: I/O Error popup even though in the left pane of Windriver says we can make a successful connection to the cRIO.

At first, I was connected via the router and got the error. Next, I used a crossover cable from the Windriver laptop directly to Port 1 on the cRIO and got the same I/O popup error when deploying.

I've never seen so many problems trying to deploy code on a robot!

I set up the cRIO, a PD, Digital Sidecar, D-Link and a couple spikes on a sheet of polycarb to make a sort of dev platform. This weekend we will try all this with a different laptop.

I have an additional question: If I want to use FTP instead of deploy what is the path of the compiled .out file and is it called simply .out? I'm asking this because I can FTP to and from the cRIO with no problem....thanks to Mike's suggestions.
