SbRIO usb camera, driver from myRIO

Hi,
in myRIO the common USB camera works, is it possible to use the same set of drivers on sbRIO 9636?
I think it has the same OS, USB, only the CPU is different.
I can see the USB device, but not as an IMAQ camera.
Older posts says it was not possible, but there should be new drivers...
Thanks a lot.

Hi NeoGHOST,
The sbRIO-9636 and myRIO are quite different under the hood.  They use a different processor and OS.  sbRIO-9636 is using VxWorks OS on a Power PC and myRIO uses NI Linux RT on a dual-core ARM processor.
I'm not very familiar with the USB Camera driver, but I wanted to point out that it would diffenately require a different back end implementation to support both targets.

  • How to get source code for WinCE 6.0 USB Camera Driver for ARM4I Processor

    Hi,
    I am implementing USB camera driver for my mini2440 board which has an ARM4I processor. The sample code
    "Windows Embedded CE 6.0 USB camera Driver" downloaded from:
    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=2ef087c0-a4ae-42cc-abd0-c466787c11f2
    does not support ARM4I processors. When trying to generate in VS2005 Platform Builder my WinCE 6.0
    image for mini2440 with the Third party catalog items "MJPEG Decompression Filter" and "USB CameraDriver",
    the linker giver errors. Please advise where to find a working source code for USB (now revision 1.1
    ("full-speed") is supported in my WinCE 6.0 image) camera for my ARM4I processor. The code should 
    be in C# but C++ will be fine also.
    Thanks,
       Paul

  • Mount a USB flash drive from a shell

    I am about six months new to Linux; I have installed my first arch system but not yet installed a desktop environment.  I am trying to mount a USB flash drive from the shell but I am not having much luck.  I have tried following the instructions in the archwiki, http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/USB_Storage_Devices. I am having a problem with the following command:
    mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbstick
    I get an error message saying that the mount point does not exist.  I have in the /mnt directory the following:
    cd cdrom dvd fd0 f1
    (I am not sure what fd0 and fl are, if somebody could please tell me I would appreciate it.  Also I do not have a DVD-ROM on my computer is the dvd listed by default or do I have a package installed I do not need?)  I did some searching online and came across the following site, http://linuxcommando.blogspot.com/2007/ … -from.html. I followed the instructions to identify the correct partition name corresponding to the USB drive by running the following command:
    grep SCSI /var/log/messages.log
    and I get the following results:
    Dec 30 22:16:17 morgan-desktop scsi2 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage divices
    Dec 30 22:16:22 morgan-desktop sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk
    The next steps in the instructions are to mount the partition to the existing mount point (directory) by using the following command.
    mkdir -p /mnt/myusb
    mount -t vfat -o rw,users /dev/sda1 /mnt/myusb
    This is where I am having a problem, I do not understand the results and how to proceed to the next step, please help me.
    One other small question what is the best command to shut down the computer as a normal user?
    Thank you
    Morgan Smith

    Ok, Lots of different advice here, let's see if I can explain it all together, and clear up a few bits...
    I'll try to explain why I'm saying what I am, it doesn't matter if you don't follow it all, commands are below.
    You are on the right lines here, but a few things missing.  Firstly, to mount the USB stick you are using the correct command, but the locations are a problem.  The command is "mount -t type what/to/mount where/to/mount".   You can find out more about the mount command with "mount --help" or "man mount"
    You have correctly identified type as vfat - this means the pen is formated as FAT.
    To find out what to mount, you can check /var/log/messages.log, the second command you posted searches trough that file and prints out lines including the phrase SCSI, and the result tells you that a usb storage device had been attached as sdb, so the correct device is /dev/sdb1.  Storage devices are named sda sdb sdc etc in the order they are attached, and the numbers refer to the partitions on the disk.
    You can mount it anywhere you want, as any existing directory, but the one you tried to use /mnt/usbstick doesn't exist, so create it, using mkdir.
    The commands you need therefore are:
    mkdir /mnt/usbstick
    mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usbstick
    This will work as root.  There is also, as byte said, a program called pmount (which you can get with pacman -S pmount) which works the same way for a standard user.
    Finally, there are also a number of tools like HAL which can be used to automate the process.
    As for shutting down, as has been said you must be root or in the power group, then you can use 'halt' 'poweroff' 'reboot' or 'shutdown'. All have slightly different effects, and poweroff is probably the easiest.
    Hope this helps

  • How do you save PDF to a USB flash drive from iPad 2

    How do you save PDF to a USB flash drive from iPad 2

    You can't, the camera kit connection kit which has a USB connection only supports the copying of photos and videos to the Photos app, and doesn't support the copying of any content off the iPad - you will either need to go via your computer.

  • Mount USB/Firewire drive from shell or cron job

    Is there a way to mount a USB/Firewire drive from the shell or possibly mount it using a cron job? Here's the situation. I have a user that keeps all of her data on her desktop or in her Documents folder. I have attached a firewire drive to her PowerMac G5 (OS 10.4.6) and successfully created cron jobs to backup her entire user folder every night. The problem is that she logs off of her computer before she leaves work. When she logs of the firewire drive unmounts and the cron job fails because it cannot find the drive. I was hoping there was a way to mount the drive using a script so that it will mount, let the cron job run, and then possibly unmount the drive afterwards. Any help with this would be much appreciated.
    MacMini, PowerMac G5, iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Try adding the following line to the beginning of the job:
    mount -a
    You may need to add u and/or w to the command after the a without any additional spaces for the mount to work properly.

  • Is there a way to protect a USB flash drive from virus?

    My daughter's school computer lab is seemingly infected with some PC virus but their school IT folks seem to be unable to clean them and with all the young kids using USB flash drives they brought these viruses home when they plug the flash drive into our home computer but luckily since we are using Mac at home and I have ClamXav installed it detected the virus immediately. So we are kind of safe but I am getting tired of removing this same virus every week using UNIX command in a terminal mode, as it's locked and can only removed using the sudo command (taught by some people). My questions are:
    1. Is there any way to protect a USB flash drive from virus infection (it's a window PC virus)
    2. is there a way or suggestion on how to stop these apart from dis-infecting the whole school computers? The problems are that these young kids are not aware of those viruses in their USB flash drives and their teachers are just too ignorant about it!
    Thanks for any suggestions and help

    I'd still invest in your case into Mac protection against passing along malware.
    Take a look at Intego AV for one for the Mac and for dual-protection.
    http://www.intego.com
    Whatever you are finding is 'dormant' I assume, but that doesn't mean it can't become active or passed along either. And there are some 'man in the middle' spyware and malware, some which target online home banking (some people run their home banking from a virtual OS that is used for that purpose only, I always wished Mac OS X could be run in a VM mode as well).
    The IT folks sound like they need... do their jobs properly and better.
    I don't care how young they are, or the staff's ignorance. Time for education is now.
    Download and install Microsoft Security Essentials in Windows and follow guidelines. And there are tons of FAQs, guidelines and articles on the subject.

  • I received our wedding photos on a USB flash drive from our professional photographer. I am trying to get these photos on my ipad 4.

    I have enough room on my ipad for all 600 photos.
    I have tried to sync the photos through iTunes by choosing the USB drive on my computer. The folder appears empty.
    I have purchased a lightning to USB camera kit and nothing happened once I plugged the USB into the ipad.
    I thought since the lighting to SD card reader I've been using with my camera works maybe I'll try uploading a photo or two onto the SD card and use the lighting to SD card reader and do it that way. I see the photo I chose on the camera when the SD card is inserted into my desktop, but once I insert it into the camera kit on ipad it doesn't show up. The other photos I have taken show up but not the ones I copied over onto it show up.
    I wonder if our photographer saved the photos in such a way to prevent me from syncing them? I have permission and the rights to use them so that's probably unlikely. The photos are saved as jpegs.
    My other thought is maybe the photos are too large in size to upload onto the ipad? Is there a limit? Under properties they are listed around 400kb and 1800x1200 in dimension.
    Please help! I'm wanting to make a photo book for the holidays as a gift with one of the ipad apps.
    Thank you in advance

    Hi Kat U,
    Many thanks for your question today.
    I am happy to assist you in this process and this method of helping you today will not involve you using your Camera Connection Kit from Apple.
    This method of downloading images onto the iPad requires the following items:
    The USB
    A computer/Mac with a USB Port
    The iPad
    iTunes (preferably iTunes 11, but it won't make much difference if you have iTunes 10)
    Before we start I have based this resolution on the basis that you use:
    iPad 4 with iOS 7.0.0 or better
    iTunes 10 or better
    Mac OS X Mountain Lion or better or Windows 7 or better
    Here are my steps to resolve your issue:
    Insert the USB drive into your computer and then go into the folder in windows explorer or finder where the images are saved on your USB.
    Save all the images from the USB under one folder on your own folder in your document/image folders (not on the USB). On the Hard Drive
    Remove your USB stick from your computer
    Insert your iPad with the lightning connector into your Mac/PC.
    When iTunes pops up click on the iPad icon/textbox - it may say (i.e. Name's iPad). (If iTunes does not pop up open it up manually by clicking twice on the icon on your desktop or Dock Taskbar).
    Click on Photo's Tab and the tick the tick box for: sync photos from
    Click my pictures (located next to sync photos from), then navigate around your folders until you choose the folder where you copied your images from the USB stick to and once you have found the folder click select folder.
    Press sync.
    Go to your iPad once it has synced and log in, click on photos then albums (located bottom right of the menu/screen) then click on the Album of the images - (its name will be what the Album's name was on your computer).
    Your images should be located there.
    If this resolution does not work, you have three other options
    Try the solution provided by the gentleman above using the Camera Connection Kit
    Call Apple - American number is 1800-MY-APPLE (1800-692-7753) and go through to AppleCare for iPad
    Take the USB and iPad to your closest Apple Store and get a Genius to look and possibly fix the problem.
    Many Thanks for your question and allowing me the time to possibly resolve your issue. I hope to hear from you soon regarding this issue.

  • How to create bootable USB thumb drive from Lion on Mac Mini 2011?

    Hello folks
    Yesterday my new Mac Mini (Core i7 2,7 Ghz, 4 GB RAM, ATI Radeon HD6630M 256 MB) arrived. It replaces my old Mac Mini (Core Duo 1,83 Ghz, 2 GB RAM, Intel GMA950 64 MB). One day I'll replace the 500 GB 5400 RPM HDD in this Mini by an Intel SSD drive (just like I did with my previous Mini). I'll do a fully clean install then (formatting the SSD drive in Disk Utility and then installing Lion on it from a bootable USB thumb drive). The only problem is I can't seem to download Lion for free from the Mac AppStore (MAS) although I have bought a new Mac Mini which came with Lion pre-installed. I know how to create a bootable USB thumb drive with Lion on it when you download it from the MAS. But that's the problem... I can't seem to download Lion from the MAS for free. When I open the MAS while holding down the Option key I can download Lion but it will charge me for it. Is there any way I can download Lion from the MAS without paying for it? Since it already came with my new Mac Mini 2011 this should be possible I guess?
    And will I still be able to download the iLife '11 apps (iPhoto, iMovie and Garageband) for FREE that came with my new Mac Mini when I do a fully clean install as described above? Thanks in advance.
    Greetings
    Jocau

    After doing some research, it seems that there are only 2 WAYS to do a complete reinstall of Lion on the Mac Mini 2011 without paying for the Lion download in the Mac AppStore (i.e. recreating every partition, also the Recovery HD partition, from scratch e.g. when installing Lion on a clean HDD/SSD).
    1) COMPLETELY clone the Mac Mini 2011 HDD including all of its partitions to an external drive and restore it when you want to do a complete reinstall.
    2) Use the LION INTERNET RECOVERY feature built-in into new Macs that ship with Lion (this feature is present in new Macs starting from the Mac Mini 2011 and Macbook Air 2011).
    OS X Lion: About Lion Recovery 
    Lion Internet Recovery
    If you happen to encounter a situation in which you cannot start from the Recovery HD, such as your hard drive stopped responding or you installed a new hard drive without Mac OS X installed, new Mac models introduced after public availability of OS X Lion automatically use the Lion Internet Recovery feature if the Recovery HD (Command-R method above) doesn't work. Lion Internet Recovery lets you start your Mac directly from Apple's Servers. The system runs a quick  test of your memory and hard drive to ensure there are no hardware issues.
    Lion Internet Recovery presents a limited interface at first, with only the ability to select your preferred Wi-Fi network and, if needed, enter the WPA passphrase. Next, Lion Internet Recovery will download and start from a Recovery HD image. From there, you are offered all the same utilities and functions described above.
    As with the Recovery HD, reinstallation of OS X Lion from Lion Internet Recovery requires an Internet connection. See "Supported network configurations and protocols" below.
    Restoring iLife applications after Internet Restore of OS X Lion
    If you reinstall Lion on a new Mac that shipped with OS X Lion installed, on an erased or replaced hard drive, you can download iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand from the Mac App Store.
    After installation, start from Lion.
    Double-click the App Store icon in the dock.
    Enter your Apple ID and password.
    Click Purchases.

    It's a bit sad that these seem to be the only 2 options. Lion Internet Recovery is the preferred one here since my monthly internet traffic limit isn't a problem (but my download speed is). This problem could have been easily solved by Apple by just checking the system specs or serial number when trying to download Lion from the Mac AppStore. By using one of the 2 options in my previous sentence the Mac AppStore could see that I have a new Mac Mini 2011 that ships with Lion which would give me the option to download Lion from the Mac AppStore for free and eventually create a bootable USB thumb drive of it.

  • How to restore machine using a TM backup on a usb hard drive from older imac to a brand new iMac?

    My imac (the one that had a superdrive in it), had a broken superdrive and was sent for repair. Whilst being "repaired" the screen was broken. I now have a brand new imac albeit without a dvd drive. My question is how to I restore my the old TM back up which had been made to an external usb hard drive to the new imac. Help files say that I should not restore from a TM file to a different machine and that I should use migration assistant. Whilst I can see the external usb drive in TM it is not being recognised in Migration assistant when I click on back up from a TM backup on another machine or disk.
    Any ideas?
    Just noticed that this new machine is running OSX 10.8.4  the broken imac was on mavericks

    This is very simple first run Software Update on the new machine and get your machine upgraded to the most recent version of Mountain Lion 10.8.5. Install all other software updates Apple recommends in Software Update. Then care fully read Pondini's guide on using Migration Assistant located at:
    http://pondini.org/OSX/MigrateLion.html
    Your migrated data will be in a new account, to access it log into the new account.
    Also DO NOT repeat DO NOTuse Wi-Fi to migrate data, if your TM backup drive uses USB, then connect it via USB and follow the on-screen instructions as described in Pondini's guide.

  • Can't write on my usb pen drive from 2 days?!?

    hi, from 2 days i can't write on my usb pen drive (Transcend JetFlash Flash  16gb with FAT32 partition)
    if I do a manual mount in a console by root, I can easly a do cp command and copy files over.
    if I open dolphin and mount by hal the drive,  I can read but not copy files, and if I open a console and do a cp command, I have this error:
    cp: cannot create regular file `/media/OZETA/ownage.png': Read-only file system
    what the... is going on? i used my pen 4 or 5 days ago
    on the contrary, i can mount my sd card (fat32) and my 2 usb disk (fat32 and ntfs) and i can write on them.
    help

    Have you tried running dosfsck on the device? Of course, be sure that you unmount the usb drive and verify the dev file of the relevant partition.
    Something like:
    dosfsck /dev/sdb1 <----replace with correct dev file!!
    to see what the problem is and then
    dosfsck -a /dev/sdb1
    Of course, I would strongly encourage you to backup all data on the drive first.

  • How to mount USB & CDROM drives from single user mode - Solaris boot disk?

    Hi All,
    I need to carry out ufsrestore on a single newly replaced system disk (no redundancy / mirroring) from either USB or CDROM drives from the following steps:
    ( i ) GRUB => e, e, cdrom –s, Enter, b (boot from Solaris 10 x86 media).
    ( ii ) Choose menu 1 for Install Solaris Interactive Mode to reach single user mode.Below are the commands that I have tried in single user mode without success:
    mount –r –F pcfs /dev/dsk/c1t0d0p0 /cdrom (after unmount Solaris CD)
      mount: /dev/dsk/c1t0d0p0 is not a DOS filesystem.
    svcadm –v enable smserver
      svcadm: Pattern ‘smserver’ doesn’t match any instances
    svcadm enable autofs
      svcadm: Pattern ‘autofs’ doesn’t match any instances
    devfsadm
      devfsadm: mkdir failed for /dev 0s1ed: Read-only file system
    mkdir /mnt
      mkdir: Failed to make directory “/mnt”; Read-only file systemPart of the problem is due to the current READ ONLY filesystems which does not allow the creation of mount point such as /mnt.
    I have been able to create both / root (/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0) and /export/home (/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0) filesystems with newfs that are awaiting for restore using ufsrestore.
    The only option I am left with is to attach a secondary disk to install Solaris 10 on either of them before bring the system to multi-user mode so that service such as volmgt, autofs, volfs are available to access USB & CDROM drives.
    Any suggestion on how to resolve this issue?
    Many thanks,
    Jack

    Hi JKGN,
    Is the directory a located under the root filesystem. ie /a? Are there any other mount point for say USB drive as well? I am not in a position to try it out right now but will get back
    to you soon on whether /a exist or not.
    Btw, the last thing I managed to do on this system at the time was added a secondary 1TB internal disk with the intention to restore both / and /export/home data onto this disk while
    making use of all the disk device management services such as the following services only available in a fully installed Solaris system (both single & multi-user modes) installed on the
    primary disk:
    # svcs smserver
    STATE          STIME    FMRI
    online         Jun_08   svc:/network/rpc/smserver:default
    # svcs autofs

            Device Type: DVD Reader/WriterHowever, I was disappointed that "iostat -En" has not found the secondary disk (1 TB) even though it was available earlier, for Solaris installation as the only disk on the same system.
    As a result, I am left with no option but the need to rebuild this system with only a single primary disk while in single user mode. However, the single user mode that I am in is the
    one from Solaris installation disk with restrictive (_cannot create folder for mount point or running disk management utilities_) capability such as those services just covered, compared to one from a completed Solaris installation system with full access to all filesystems and utilities / commands in general.
    I would very much value your assistance on how to mount both CD & USB in this restrictive limited Read Only OS (assume that it is running from memory) in order to get complete access to
    the blank primary disk so that full restore with ufsrestore could take place.
    Thanks in advance,
    Jack

  • Access AirPort Extrems USB hard drive from Android

    I'm starting a new discussion because I erroneously marked my earlier discussion "solved".
    I've been using a USB connected disk drive on my AirPort Extreme from my Android tablet for years.  Since upgrading the AirPort to version 7.6.4 I can no longer access the disk drive from the tablet.  I have not changed anything on the tablet, only the AirPort.
    The tablet can see the AirPort itself as 10.0.1.1 and can see the attached disk drive, but when I try to access the drive I get a series of possible errors including Firewall issues,  SMB service is off or out of scope and WLAN is off.
    I don't know how to look at the firewall on the AirPort or check on the SMB service (I can't find either topic in AirPort Utility).
    I have tried a factory reset, and also reverting back to version 7.5.2 as suggested in the other thread, but I still get the same message when I try to connect.
    The drive is fully accessible from either of the two Macs on the network.
    Please help - I really need to access files on this disk from the tablet.  I konw Dropbox will work, but ti's cumbersome and I don't really want some of the files to live on Dropbox.
    Walt

    I would venture to say that the issue may be related to the AirPort firmware update not being compatible with the current version of firmware on your Android tablet. Of course, you probably already know this. I'm not aware of any incompatibilities between these two devices as Apple has not provided any information on this.
    As far as firewall on the AirPort, unless you are accessing the Extreme from a remote location its NAT firewall would be a mute issue. About SMB, this is automatically enabled when you configure the Extreme to share out an external USB HDD. So there is no setting to change there either.
    I have tried a factory reset, and also reverting back to version 7.5.2 as suggested in the other thread, but I still get the same message when I try to connect.
    If your Android was not having this issue when the Extreme was running 7.5.2 firmware, but is now after downgrading it to this version tends to make me believe the issuse may be with your tablet. Is there a potential firmware update for it?

  • How to access an Airport Express USB hard drive from a PC?

    I have a home network created by a new Airport Express base station (which replaced the previous AXBS that lasted 3 years and then died). Attached to its HSB port (with a USB hub) I have a WD USB disk and a Canon printer; I have another printer connected to one of the LAN ports. I have a mac attached to another of the LAN ports. Finally, my macbook connects to the network through the Airport. All peripheral items (disk, printers) work as they should from both macbook and the other mac.
    I also have a PC with WI-FI that connects to the internet through the AXBS. The printers seem to work on the PC (with Bonjour for Windows installed), and I can access its disk from the macs, but I cannot access the WD AXBS hard drive from the PC.
    The macbook and mac are running Snow Leopard and Leopard, respectively, and the PC is running XP SP2.
    Can someone offer a suggestion for getting disk access to work from the PC? Windows or not, it shouldn't be this difficult.

    Click here and follow the instructions, assuming you're using an AirPort Extreme base station. The AirPort Express base stations can't use USB hard and flash drives and will ignore any connected ones.
