A *very* wide issue as of yet, but just in case someone has seen something similar:
After updating the firmware of cRIO-9030s (not tested on other models yet, but recreated on multiple 9030s) from e.g. 6.5 to 8.8.0, then appling an image (originally made on a target with a clean install of that same generation of firmware (8.8.0) and LVRT) we get the cRIOs to crash every 2-3 days. Prior to the crash there is plenty of memory, low CPU usage and the memory usage is stable. Normally the suspect would be the application of course, even though this particular application has behaved nicely for years...
But here is the kicker: If the cRIO is then updated with the same 8.8 firmware (no other changes, the same application running as before etc) it runs fine (well, so far 1,5 weeks fine...). The application in question has been stable on 6.5 and *is* as the test shows stable now when the 8.8.0 firmware has been reapplied. So what might have happened? Probably all kinds of things, but the fact that we can recreate this on multiple controllers should rule out many... Perhaps there is something that can get corrupted when a RAD image is applied to 8.8.0 that gets fixed when the firmware is reapplied e.g?
If anyone have seen this before with 8.8.0 or other cRIO firmware versions and/or have insight into what might explain the issue I would love to hear about it 🙂
