Code instantly terminates on crio

[brianelite]

The issue is the same whether it is SimpleRobot, 2010ImageDemo, or any of the other examples I have tried, as I previously mentioned. I initially followed the "proper way"... Unfortunately, it gives me this problem. I have gone through the instructions multiple times on multiple computers, even different compact rios. Exact same problem.

Unless every one of the multiple computers is oddly configured in the same way, I strongly suspect that you're not following the instructions the way they need to be followed, or that you've left out a step in setting up your system.

I don't have a lot of experience using the WindRiver environment, so I can't ask helpful questions about it in particular. But I can ask this: what version of the cRIO image is loaded?

It should be something along the lines of 2010*blah blah blah*V19. The V19 is very important, and we would like a response about it. If you are unsure what you have, reimage the cRio, and make sure you select the correct environment (C/C++ Windriver). Check the format checkbox, and begin the reimage. Make sure to do this on a fresh battery.

Check your IP settings.
Check that you are trying to load the correct file, with the correct team #. To check this, open windriver, and under window select preferences. Then click "FIRST Downloader Preferences"

I had problems the first few days getting the cRio to accept code. I found it invaluable to look at the RS232 debug output. To read this use your favorite terminal service (hyperterminal is default on Windows), and connect via serial with a NULL MODEM cable. My team had no null modem cables, so we purchased a converter, and it works great. Be sure the console out DIP switch is set to on.

You will know when it is receiving data because the cRio spits out a lot of data while booting.

As for copying text, screenshots work.

EDIT: By using the driver station, don't use the 2009 kwikbyte thing. Use the classmate PC and login as the driver. There is also an option to install the driver station on another laptop. One must be on for the cRio to work
