How to Upgrade the Operating System on a cRIO
Windows Embedded Standard (WES)
NI Linux Real-Time
I want to make sure my cRIO has the most recently released version of its operating system for security purposes. How do I upgrade the operating system on my cRIO?
The process for upgrading the operating system depends on whether your cRIO has Microsoft Windows Embedded Standard (WES) or NI Linux Real-Time (LinuxRT) installed.
Windows Targets
Instructions on this process are included in the device's user manual. For example, if you are using the cRIO-9081, there is a section titled Installing an Operating System in the user manual which outlines the steps.
NI Linux Real-Time Targets
Install the latest version of the CompactRIO Device Drivers compatible with the version of LabVIEW Real-Time installed on your cRIO. This should then allow you to upgrade to the latest available firmware for your device.
NI Software Installation Requires Windows 7 Service Pack 1 or Later
Restore the Operating System of PXI, VXI, cRIO-908x, and cDAQ-913x Controllers
