NI Linux Real-Time PXIe Controller Unexpectedly Reboots When Using NI-FGEN 21.3

When running any NI-FGEN API calls on an NI Linux Real-Time PXIe controller, the NI Linux Real-Time system stops responding and reboots.

This issue affects NI Linux Real-Time systems that support SMAP, including but not limited to the PXIe-8861 and the PXIe-8840QC, when using NI-FGEN devices that use the NI-DAQmx-based waveform generators such as PXIe-5422 and PXIe-5421.

Workaround:

Edit the /boot/runmode/bootimage.cfg file on the NI Linux RT system, add "nosmap" to the "set otherbootargs" line, and reboot. Note that this disables SMAP for the system.

Reported Version:

NI-FGEN 21.3

Resolved Version:
