compact RIO 9068 and GPIB

[M1080]

I have a Compact Rio 9068 running the NI Linux Real-Time OS.  I wanted to attach a GPIB-USB-HS+ to add a GPIB interace to it.  My Problem is that I cant seem to install NI-488.2 on the 9068.  I have it installed on my computer, and in MAX I have the option to install 488.2 on a PXI controller I have, but It will not give me the option to install it on the Compact RIO chassis.  Is there no NI-488.2 for  the NI Linux Real-Time OS?  I cant seem to find anything about it in any documentation.

Thanks

The documentation for the chassis says that the only supported USB devices are flash drives.

Hi Mike,

If you want to add a GPIB interface to the cRIO, you could use a GPIB-RS232 converter or the GPIB-RS485/422 converter with the RS-232 or RS-485 serial ports on the cRIO 9068. 

Thanks,

That is what I suspected.  I was only trying to use the USB converter because thats what I had lying around.   Thanks for the Help.
