Windriver connection to cRio

[avolkov]

Hello all, again

I just have a quick question on Windriver basics... I was looking through the FIRST manual which comes with the windriver installation, and I noticed that a good amount of the pages are simply blank with only headers of what was supposed to be described there...

since most of these topics where not necessary for what I needed, I didnt care to much about finding these pages... BUT, what was also missing was the page titled something like "Setting up FIRST download preferences"... The page was supposed to describe how to properly deploy a windriver program permanently onto a cRio...

I already set up a connection with the cRio in an earlier chapter of the manual, so my question is - is deploying a program using windriver about the same as with labview (that is, you hook up the laptop to the drivers station, and you click "run")? or is it different in so many ways that I have no chance to figure it out on my own?

Either way, I would appreciate a near-step-by-step guide how to deploy my first windriver program (for instance, I already have the Sample Robot program set up and modified for my preference)...

Thanks in advance
