Code instantly terminates on crio

Brian, you have to run the driver station for the robot to function.

Let's start over.

Did you perform the bench test as spelled out in the getting started manual?

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

for the console output what is the settings for that so we can see into this booting process

The deleted note is most likely along the lines of "FTP task deleted errno=something". That is normal when uploading.

Also, you need to reboot the cRIO before your code will properly load.

Driver Station is also a must to have running

9600 baud
no parity
I think hardware flow control, but it might be none.

Be sure to use a null modem cable.
