Solution

Autoloading only on powerup is not possible on any cRIO 904x, 905x, and 906x targets. Starting from cRIO-904x, it was decided to leave only completely disabling the autoload option or enabling it for both cases.
The default behavior of a bitfile stored on flash for these targets is to autoload on both powerup and reboot.
