This tutorial describes the process of setting up a Raspberry Pi as a LabVIEW target using LINX.

• LabVIEW Basics

• Raspberry Pi 2 or newer.
  • Raspberry Pi 1 and Raspberry Pi Zero are not supported due to their older CPU instruction set.

• LabVIEW
• LINX

• Download a Raspbian image
  • LINX was developed using Raspbian Jessie.
• Unzip the Raspbian image.
  
  
• Download and Install Win32 Disk Imager.
  
  
• Use Win32 Disk Imager to load the Raspbian image onto an SD card.
  
  
• Insert the SD card into the Raspberry Pi.
  
  
• Connect ethernet to the Raspberry Pi
  
  
• Power on the Raspberry Pi.
  
  
• Note: The next step requires that the RPI has SSH enabled, however as of November 2016 Raspbian has SSH disabled by default. Manually enable SSH by following these instructions.

• Launch LabVIEW and open the Target Configuration Wizard from Tools»MakerHub»LINX»Target Configuration.
  
  
• Enter the Raspberry Pi's Hostname or IP and a username and password with root privileges and click connect.
  • Default Hostname is 'raspberrypi'.
  • Default Username is 'pi'
  • Default Password is 'raspberry'
    
• Click the Install Software tab.
  
  
• Click Install.
  
  
• Review any warnings and complete the installation.
