Problems deploying code

[ArzaanK]

Hi everyone,

First of all, I would like to apologize if this problem has been addressed before. I searched the forums, and found similar issues, but none that matched my exact problem.

This year, our team has started our shift to C++ from LabVIEW. I installed Windriver exactly as stated in the WPI guide. I also installed the update called "WPILibC++Source20130302rev3622". I have tried completely uninstalling and re-installing Windriver multiple times following the instructions in the WPI guide to a tee.

However, I have a deployment problem. I wrote some simple code that drives the robot, controls a relay and does some very simple autonomous movement. I built the project without any errors. Then, I went to Window -> Preferences ->FIRST Downloader Preferences and set my team number to 1325 and set the file to download the robot to

C:\WindRiver\workspace\SimpleTemplate\PPC603gnu\Si mpleTemplate\Debug\SimpleTemplate.out

(My robot project was left at the default name of Simple Template)

After that, I plugged in the Ethernet cable into Slot 2 of the cRio (slot 1 does not work), and plugged the other end into my laptop. I then proceeded to disable my wireless card in the network and sharing centre and changed the settings of my local area connection as follows:

IPv4: 10.13.25.6
DNS: 255.255.255.0

I then pinged the cRio to make sure the connection was established. I got four replies in less than 1 ms, multiple times.

Next, I clicked FIRST -> Undeploy to undeploy any code from the cRio, I then opened up the driver station to make sure there was no code running on the cRIo.

Then, I clicked FIRST -> Deploy. However, I don't get a progress bar. I just get a message box saying "Downloading to robot" without a progress bar. Also, on the bottom right hand side of the screen, there is no progress bar there either. If I leave it, it will stay on that screen, and I won't even get an error message.

Please see the attached screenshot to get a better idea of what I'm trying to say:

After going through the process I mentioned above multiple times, I then decided to take my project over to another students laptop and deploy the code from their laptop. When I tried it on that students laptop, everything worked fine, and I followed the exact same steps that I did on my laptop.

I have no idea what is wrong, and and help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
