Re: Offloading Current Running Code Image

If you still have the old LabVIEW project, then it's simplest to just re-build it under LabVIEW 2011, accounting for any library palette vi changes.

The old cRIO Imaging Tool works with the old FRC cRIO, but not the new one of course. You need to have preserved the old image(s) as well.

If you captured the whole directory tree, then that should include the parts of the matching image that affect and are important to us.
If you just have the project executable, then you'll need to image the cRIO to match. You do want the image to match the libraries and FPGA image that was used when the project was built.

I have been able to re-build our 2011 project except for a small problem with Dashboard. Re-building our 2010 creates an error for just about every FRC vi. I tried the suggestion from the NI forum to do a mass compile. That didn't work. I have a dependency problem that I don't quite know how to find yet.

Just to make sure I understand everything. We want to use new code on an old robot and still get back to the original program for demonstrations.

To load new code from 2011 and get back to 8.6 version.
1. FTP everything from the lowest directory to my PC.
2. Re-image with current image.
3. Download/Deploy new code.
4. Test with new program and different Driver's Station.
5. FTP everything back to cRIO without any re-imaging.
6. Run old version with old Driver's Station.

Sorry, I lost the thread for awhile there.

Your procedure looks good.
