I am trying to run a simple FPGA.vi on my myRIO-1900 device to confirm successful communication. I have been able to deploy multiple vi's to the RT on the myRIO, but any attempt in trying to compile and run FPGA code results in Error code: -63044: "The RIO server could not be found on the specified remote device."
We've tried updating the firmware on the myRIO based on the "Upgrading Firmware on my NI Linux Real-Time Device" article on the National Instruments website, which says we just need to go to the correct folder (for myRIO-1900 that would be the 762F folder). When I look in that folder through windows file explorer I see two .cfg files which looks similar to how it should be in the article. However, when I go through the Update Firmware button in NI MAX, the folders appear empty. Instead of looking for .cfg files, the explorer only allows searching for .lvbitx files. Is there some sort of software update I need to fix this? And would updating the firmware actually fix the error code -63044.
I have attached screenshots of both the error message and the firmware search from NI MAX. I also have a screenshot of the extremely simple code to test if the FPGA was working correctly.
I am running LabView 2017 on Windows 7 and the device is a NI myRIO-1900.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
