Error 63 When Deploying an Empty System Definition File to a Real-Time target from VeriStand

Issue Details

After recently installing software to my Real-Time (RT) PXI controller, I tried to deploy an empty VeriStand System Definition File to the RT system and the deployment failed with the following error:

How can I resolve this issue?

Solution

Error 63 indicates that the VeriStand Engine startup executable is not running on the RT target. Refer to Error 63 - System Definition File Cannot Be Deployed to Real-Time (RT) Target from VeriStan for instructions on how to restart or reinstall the VeriStand Engine and reboot the system.

If the issue is still occurring after restarting/reinstalling the VeriStand Engine, it is possible that another startup application is preventing VeriStand from running. In that case, follow these steps:

1. Plug a monitor into the target and restart the target. As the target boots, it will print startup information to the screen.
2. After a while, on the monitor, it should print what Startup Application is configured. For example, if you see the line: Startup Application: /home/lvuser/natinst/bin/adas_startup.rtexe, This is due to the Replay and HIL AD drivers installed. If you are not using the NI ADAS Replay or ADAS HIL products, then these were likely installed by mistake. This error can be resolved by trying the following steps:
   1. Open NI MAX and locate your RT target in the list of Remote Systems
   2. Right-click on Software and then select "Add or Remove Software"
      
      
   3. Go to the Remove tab and remove the Replay and HIL AD packages shown below:
      
       
   4. After restarting, the VeriStand Engine should be running, and you can confirm by checking the Startup Application line on the monitor.
3. If you determine that you do need to have the ADAS Replay and HIL AD software installed, you can still switch to VeriStand Engine
   1. Open and SSH connection to the target using the admin username and password.

   2. Execute the command enable-veristand-startup.sh

1. 2. Validate that the VeriStand Engine is set as startup by executing cat /etc/natinst/share/lvrt.conf:
