Hello everyone,
I'm wondering to know how NI technically locks using LabView (FPGA and Real-Time modules) to its own developed boards (e.g. CompactRIO and Single-BoardRIO series)? Is there a special BootROM on the board which is responsible to send a signature from the board to the MAX (Measurement and Automation eXplorer) environment and after that the downloading process begins?
Thanks a lot.

NI locks/password protects any part that contains their intellectual property and those they don't want the customer to play around with. Similar features in HW would be secret which when revealed could compromise the integrity of their systems.
