This tutorial describes the process of creating a startup executable from a VI and deploying it to run each time the LINX device starts, without the need for connection back to LabVIEW on the desktop.
Prerequisites
Hardware
- LINX Device that supports deployment such as BeagleBone Black or Raspberry Pi 2/3.
Parts List
Software
Procedure
- Open the LabVIEW project created in the previous tutorial.
- Expand the LINX target (BBB or RPI).
- Right Build Specifications and choose New»Real-Time Application.
- Rename the build specification.
- Click the Source Files section on the left side of the dialog.
- Under Project Files select the top level VI (Blink.vi in the example) and click the right arrow to add it to Startup VIs.
- Click OK.
- Right click the new build specification and choose Build.
