Solution
In order to program your myRIO device the minimum software that needs to be installed is:
- NI LabVIEW Development System
- NI LabVIEW Real-Time Module
- NI LabVIEW myRIO Toolkit
The corresponding myRIO Toolkit will bring the needed drivers to recognize and program the device and thus you don’t need to install the RIO drivers. A RIO component will show up on NI MAX after installing the myRIO Toolkit, shown in the image below:

LabVIEW FPGA will need to be installed only if you plan the program the onboard FPGA of the device. The optional software components typically used with the myRIO are:
- LabVIEW FPGA
- LabVIEW Control Design and Simulation Module
- LabVIEW MathScript RT Module
- LabVIEW Robotics Module for LabRIO
- Compilation Tools for Vivado
- VI Package Manager
- Vision Acquisition Software
- Vision Development Module
