Deploying code in WindRiver never finishes

[msulaimain]

Have you set up your team number under preferences in Windriver and there's always the option of using FileZilla in times like this to upload your .out file which you can find in one of the WindRiver directory folders and then uploading that to your cRio using FileZilla. Be sure to rename the .out file to FRC_UserProgram.out when uploading to cRio. You upload it to the ni-rt/system folder in your cRio. I hope that helps.

The times I have seen this is when the Firewall is enabled and blocking things...

You can manually deploy the code by doing the following:

- In an Explorer window (NOT Internet Explorer, but Windows Explorer), in the address box type "ftp://10.xx.yy.2", where "xx.yy" is your team number

- go to the "ni-rt/system" folder, and copy your .out file to this folder

- rename your .out file to "FRC_UserProgram.out"

- Reboot cRio.

I see this with my work laptop, because corporate IT pushes down all kinds of policies which don't allow me to turn of the firewall. (Yes, I am an admin on the box, and still can't turn off the firewall).

Also suggest turning of Antivirus software as well as that could be blocking something as well.

I have been seeing this happening sporadically myself.

I am usually able to deploy code, but I find some combination of FTPing into the robot using firefox and enabling teleop on the driver station will cause my deploys to hang in such a way that windriver will just sit at "Deploying" (or "Undeploying") forever.

Typically, I have to power down the robot and close windriver to get it to work again after this happens.
Not sure if this is your issue, but it definately caused me some pain the first few times it happened.
