Deployment Error When Deploying Labview to Raspberry Pi through LINX

[Murphy]

I am using Raspberry Pi 3 with raspbian jessie and installed labview 2014(32bit) in my windows 7 laptop.

Everything goes smoothly as I connect to my rpi using the linx target configuration. The problem is that everytime deploy a vi (I deployed blink), i get this:

How can I complete deployment without having any errors?

HI Mr. Kristoff,

I followed the steps from the link you gave me, but after I input sudo schroot --run-session -c lv, I got this reply (I have attached the image).

However, I tried this commands, which I think is just the same with the steps you gave.

cd /srv/chroot/labview/usr/lib

ln -s ./liblinxdevice_rpi2.so .liblinxdevice.so

I then tried deploying my VI again. The deployment was succesful, but even before I can even click anything in the VI's panel, a pop-up window suddenly appears and says that the connection to my raspberry pi is lost. Do you have something in mind on how to fix this?

My primary guess for this error's culprit is my internet connection with my rpi; it is connected to the internet through lan cable. I plugging out the cable and plugging it in again, but the problem still persist. I also tried rebooting my rpi, but the same happened.

Hey Murphy,

LabVIEW calls into liblinxdevice.so on the target to access the hardware IO.  It sounds like LabVIEW is not able to load this shared library when you click run.  The shared object should be installed when you run the LINX target setup, and the fact that LabVIEW is running on the target means that step at least partially worked.

Are you using the Jessie lite or full image (I recommend full, I've never tested lite).

If you're already using Jessie full, you may need to SSH into the target and confirm that the .so is created and linked into the correct location.  Can you try the steps in the first post here and report what you see in /usr/lib

Thanks!

By deploy I mean clicking the arrow buttton on my LabView VI. I'm sorry for the late response.

[Kristoff]

When you say 'deploy' do you mean clicking the run button (arrow in the LabVIEW VI) or building a startup executable by creating a build specification in the LabVIEW project, building and deploying it?

LabVIEW developers refer to the first as 'running in interactive mode' because your VI runs on the target but it sends data back to the LabVIEW editor on your PC so you can see values and debug your code.  The second scenario is commonly referred to as 'deploying a startup exe'.  In this case your LabVIEW application is built into a stand alone exe, saved on the target and run each time the target boots.  There is no connection back to your PC in this scenario (unless you program one yourself) and no GUI.

Let us know which one is causing this issue for you and we'll suggest some troubleshooting steps.

Thanks!

I have reinstalled my raspbian a lot of times already but this problem still keeps on popping up. And yes, I have followed the steps in the guide available. Any suggestions on how to fix this? By the way, I'm still a noob in using raspberry.

Hello @Murphy,

I personally haven't seen this error, but looking at this thread from LabVIEW MakerHub, it may be something to do with OS? Otherwise, I presume you followed the guide available for LINX 3.0 here?

Thanks,
