For this tutorial, the two files below are used as examples:
- astronics-ballard-btipci_2.11.0.1_core2-64.ipk (This is a dependency file of the next IPK file)
- astronics-ballard-labview_1.4.0.7_core2-64.ipk
Follow the steps below to manually install the IPK files to your NI Linux RT Target.
2. Use SSH (
PuTTY) to execute the SSH command to install the IPK files.
a. To ensure that we can run logging in PuTTY, run PuTTY as administrator.
b. Go to Logging and enable logging by selecting All Session Output.
c. Go to Session and press Open after entering the IP address of your Linux RT.
d. Run the command below to get the current directory of the copied IPK files in the Linux RT’s drive.
cd /tmp
e. Run the command below to start installing the first IPK.
opkg install astronics-ballard-btipci_2.11.0.1_core2-64.ipk
f. Run the command below to start installing the second IPK.
opkg install astronics-ballard-labview_1.4.0.7_core2-64.ipk
g. Reboot the Linux RT to refresh the new installation.

h. Confirm the installation has been completed in SSH.
opkg find *astro*
3. Confirm that the installation has been completed in NI MAX. The installed software should appear in the target's Software section.
