LabView for Embedded Systems
Hi all.
I intend to develop an Embedded System, based on an ARM9 MCU, and I´ve been wondering if LabView could be used to create stand alone applications to run on such a system.
I can use Windows CE, or Linux on my system, but I prefer Linux.
Can I develop applications directly on LabView for Linux?
What minimal resources would be needed to run an average LabView application on such a system, like memory capacity, minimal MCU clock speed, etc?
I´ll apretiate any comments, since I have no ideia about what can be done with LabView out
of the PC universe.
Thanks alot.
You can run LV EXEs (not the development environment) on CE if you buy the LV PDA module. Note that applications built using this lack features regular LV applications have.
I remember some threads dealing with the minimum necessary to run LV on linux. If I remember correctly, the basic idea is there are a few official linux versions supported and that anything outside those you will have to experiment on your own. Here's one example. You can try looking for more.
If you want, official requirements can probably be found in the main LV linux page (whereever that is).
Try to take over the world!

JAVA for embedded systems: just a myth ?
Hi,
I'm relatively new to JAVA (a year or so), and so far I'm fascinated. I've only developed for PC using J2SE, although I'heard a lot of hipe about J2ME, which I guess is the JAVA for embedded systems (correct me if I'm wrong here).
I worked a lot with microcontrollers, and I think it would be really nice to program them using JAVA. I googled serched for JAVA enabled embedded systems, but I couldn't find anything.
Anyway, this morning I got to this site and find a very interesting article, which I'd like to share with you and hear your opinions about the 5th myth.
The link is: http://www.chipcenter.com/knowledge_centers/embedded/todays_feature/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=10300909

Very interesting. I'd always wondered what happened to the Java chips...
Here's a thought, and an associated question, if any of you reading this happen to be up on modern processor architecture...
What about microcode? Back in school (decades ago) I learned a bit about microcode, which was like very simple, low-level instructions that a processor would "execute" to execute each assembly/machine language instruction. The idea was that if you needed to tweak the instruction set of a processor, you could rewrite its microcode. Seems like this would lend itself nicely to implementing a JVM in "hardware"... The question is, do they even use microcode anymore? With the pursuit of speed and optimization, I wonder if they didn't abandon it and go with highly specialized/optimized circuits instead...
Back to the original question -- it would be somewhat ironic if Java weren't available for embedding systems. The original target system was set-top boxes, etc. I've tried a few JVMs on my Palm -- they're getting there! -
Crypto libraries for embedded systems
Hi, I need some crypto libraries for my Xlet running on a MHP receiver. I need that these libraries can use the public key extracted from a certificate and encrypt a digest using that public key. I can't use javax.crypto because it doesn't work on a limited MHP 1.0.2 receiver. I need something studied for it. Thank you!!!

Compiling linux for embedded system using Arch.
Hi. I build the vanilla kernel for an embedded system using special buildsystem. This buildsystem calls
make INSTALL_MOD_PATH=embedded_fs_path modules_install
The kernel's Makefile installs the modules to embedded_fs_path/lib/modules/$(KERNELRELEASE) and calls /sbin/depmod -b embedded_fs_path $(KERNELRELEASE).
This operation fails under Archlinux because /sbin/depmod is a part of kmod and it expects that modules are placed to /usr/lib/ instead of /lib, so it tryes to make dependencies in embedded_fs_path/usr/lib/modules/$(KERNELRELEASE) instead of embedded_fs_path/lib/modules/$(KERNELRELEASE).
What is correct solution for this issue? I can pass DEPMOD variable to kernel's Makefile to use something else instead of /sbin/depmod, but i don't know value of this variable should be.
Is there any command line options for kmod to force using /lib instead of /usr/lib? As I've seen in kmod sources, there aren't.
Is there any package in repositiries or AUR or somewhere else which provides an application that behaves the same way as old depmod with /lib/ modules location?
Thanks.tavianator wrote:Fedora Core 7? Wow, that's ambitious. I'd suggest building in a virtual machine or chroot with the target system installed.
centos is probably worse. They're still on 2.6.18 as far as i can tell.
I wanted to avoid chroot/virtual machine (ran one of those for a while). The reason is that my current development build is the same as what is delivered. I don't want to lose that....having to deal with different compilers, libraries, etc can be a pain.
I'll also look into whether or not I can install a "glibc-compat" type package that could alleviate the loader.
Here's the telling part:
the new exectuble:
$ file <executable>
<executable>: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, AMD x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.6.27, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.27
the old executable:
$ file <executable>
<executable>: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.8
Okay....issue seems to be in the glibc PKGBUILD.
it has the line:
--enable-kernel=2.6.27 \
passed to glibc configuration.
Causes big time problems for creating compatible packages.

Labview ARM embedded systems tutorial
good day,
I started working on a project using the LM3S8962 development board to work initially lencuaje C, is very economical and in many cases better than the Arduino
but I see that you can also work with Labview, if someone worked on it and can give me some information would greatly appreciate it

Go to Solution.Hi Tom,
If you have questions about the hardware/pins itself, I would consult the user guide for this piece of hardware. For example, here: http://chess.eecs.berkeley.edu/eecs149/sp09/docs/EK-LM3S8962_EvalBoard_UM.pdf
The software/hardware connection is mostly pretty straight forward. For example, if you create an Elemental I/O point and select PWM0, then whatever you send to that node will go to the pin labeled on your board as PWM0. Also, there are a number of properties in software that you can configure in software for the PWM output: http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/372459E-01/lvarmhelp/arm_eio_prop_pwm/
If you have specific questions or specific things that aren't working, I may be able to assist you, but I think that's all the general support material that we have. -
VXI support under LabVIEW for Linux
A potential client contacted me regarding a small project using VXI hardware under Linux. I'm considering using LabVIEW for Linux but I'm not too clear on NI's VXI driver support and whether they have a VI library for the particular hardware. I contacted NI tech support over the phone but they didn't have any answers. BTW, I've used LV with PCI and ISA DAQ boards under Windows and Linux but I've never used VXI.
Here is the hardware in question:
PCI/VXI-MXI-2(8026) - PCI to VXI bridge
VXI-AO-48XDC - 48 channel analog output board
VXI-MIO-64XE-10 - multifunction DAQ board
Anyone know what's involved in building a LV app for this system under Linux, i.e. what's NI's HW driver and LabVIEW support?
-kevinKevin,
National Instruments has NI-VXI for Linux. The driver provides support for the PCI/VXI-MXI-2(8026), and VXI embedded Controllers. The NI-VXI driver also provides the programming API that will allow you to communicate with the VXI boards in your system.
You can find a KnowledgeBase that shows what versions of Linux are currently supported by NI-VXI here.
If you have never used VXI before I should note that it is different from using a PCI DAQ card. You might want to read this here which will explain a little about VXI.
The LabVIEW for Linux system requirements can be found here. I should note that LabVIEW will work on the 2.6 kernel, however since you are looking at NI-VXI you will need to use the 2.4 kernel anyway.
Hopefully this answers your question, but if you have any further questions feel free to ask!

Accessing Onboard ADC with LabVIEW for ARM
I am working with the LM3S9062 Evaluation board and LabView for ARM system, and want to measure an analog voltage using the ADC, however I cannot determine which of the Digital Inputs is linked to the ADC. I need to know how the gpio mapping corresponds to the pinout of the Device. Any thoughts?
Do you mean the LM3s8962 evaluation board? If so, the pins should be labeled accordingly on the board - ADC0, ADC1, ADC2, etc.
Drop an EIO node with the same name as the pin and it should work fine from there.

LabVIEW possibilities for Android and embedded systems
Dear Sir or Madam,
We are building some test environments based on your software and now we have came into discussions about future possibilities with LabVIEW. As there is a lot of information available we are getting a little bit confused about what we can do and what not with our current software. Now we own the "LabVIEW full development System for Windows" and we are interested in analysing the possibility of buying your application builder. The problem is that we would like to address, at least, two different issues with LabVIEW:
1st: we want to build controllers and self executable applications that work in Windows, Linux, MAC and Android. I've read many possibilities on the internet about LabVIEW but I'm not sure about what systems are officially supported, so: Is it possible to build Apps for these three systems from the Windows App Builder? Is there support for Android? Do Linux Apps run with Android?
2nd: The second issue is to embed LabVIEW into small microcontrollers to deploy our custom System managers and controllers. Is this possible? I've seen the ARM toolkit but I am not sure about what functionality of LabVIEW is available there. Can all the functions be used? Can it be customized to any device that is ARM? Is it possible to port to non-ARM devices or DSPs???
Thanks in advance.You would probably be better off talking to your local NI rep. Clicking the contact NI tab at the top of your browser would be a good place to start if you do not know your local rep.

Hi there,
I am planning to use Labview 2010 in a short time.
But before I'm going to use it I have some questions.
I know it is possible to run Labview 2010 in an XP environment. But is it also possible to, when running Labview 2010 on a XP system, to build a project to a version that is useful in a Windows 7 environment?
Or do I have to run Labview 2010, when I want to build a project that is useful on a Windows 7 system, on a system with Windows 7?
Please give me some information.
I hope to hear from one of you soon.
