Software Installation of myRIO

[sathvikum@gmail.com]

I'm not able to get the installation of the software on the myRIO board , so please help me out with this

There have been multiple descriptions of myRIO installations on the "Additional NI Product Boards/Academic Hardware Products (myDAQ, myRIO)", as well as on this Forum (I've responded to many of them with suggestions).

Note that setting up a myRIO system is a little more complicated than installing LabVIEW on a PC (which can also be something of a challenge).  What version of LabVIEW are you running (mention the "Year" and the "32/64 bit" type)?  Not all combinations are possible -- the two most recent are LabVIEW 2019 (32-bit) and LabVIEW 2021 (32-bit).

Thank you for your reply 

Sir I'm using LABVIEW 2024 Q1 (64bit) version and I'm trying to install the latest software on the myRIO which supports the version of LabVIEW which I'm using .So using the latest 2024 version isn't compatible with the hardware ? , if so should i install the 2021 or 2019 version and try installing the software on myRIO

You need LabVIEW 2021 and the myRIO Toolkit 2021 (or 2019 and 2019).  If I were doing this, I might start by removing all NI software and starting fresh ...  (If you have a "spare PC" without LabVIEW, then definitely try to install LabVIEW 2021.  What I've seen work (and must confess I don't quite understand it) is to download/install the 2021 Toolkit first (which might install LabVIEW 2022), and then install LabVIEW 2021 (and possibly remove LabVIEW 2022).  I haven't tried all of the permutations myself, but can say that installing LabVIEW 2021 first, then trying to install the 2021 Software Toolkit (in my hands) always failed.
