Is it possible to install cRIO drivers from a Linux machine? It seems that MAX is not available under Linux, so is there an alternative that works under Linux?
A little info for you. The LabVIEW Real-Time module is current only available for LabVIEW for Windows. We have a great knowledgebase that talks about it:
Our RIO driver currently does not support Linux outside of the Runtime version. As a result, you will not be able to configure the device from this OS. That being said, it is still possible to change the IP address on the controller (assuming you know what its current IP address is). The IP settings for the controler are stored in the RT.ini file saved on the controller. In this ini file, you will find a token for the controllers IP Address. If you modify this file and save it back to the controller, once you reboot the controller it will use the IP adress that you specified. This process is typically performed using an FTP client. Most customers perform their configuration from MAX instead.
Here are some links to other documents that discuss using cRio with Linux.
