The goal is to display our own device in the NI MAX (Measurement & Automation Explorer).
I have successfully built the driver and installed it on the target (insmod .ko).
Now comes the next step: Connecting the driver to the NI-software via my interface-library (.so)
I am not familiar with the NI software environment and I haven't found a recipe how to do this.
Can someone give me some guidance?

Hello habae,
The only instructions that I am aware of only apply to PXI(e)/PCI(e) and USB drivers that use NI-VISA (Using the NI-VISA Driver Wizard and NI-VISA to Develop a PXI(e)/PCI(e) Driver in Windows). The driver would need to be based on NI-VISA to work with this tool. I am not aware of any other way for users to add their 3rd party driver to NI-MAX.
Thanks,
Andy

in .inf file that create with ni visa wizard :

so we can do this with Linux Desktop and NI Linux RT Installation .
I test this way but i can not do that. 😕
