  1. You can NOT install LabVIEW RT on non-NI hardware without a license from NI! And they have so far hesitated or stalled to say if they ever plan to sell such a license. What you can do is install NI Linux RT on whatever hardware you care since the Linux kernel is GPL software. And that is also what the NI Github repository is about. To provide a means to fulfill the GPL requirement to have the source code to the GPL covered software accessible to any user. What the NI Linux RT Github repository does NOT contain are the LabVIEW RT runtime kernel , NI-VISA, NI-DAQmx, NI-this and NI-that since they are closed source software and the Linux kernel comes with a special GPL clause that allows people to build and distribute closed source software that runs on it. Quite some kernel folks would love to get rid of that clause and force everybody to open source everything everywhere, but that didn't even fully work for kernel drivers, where they did a lot of effort to prevent closed source drivers from being able to do high performance operations. The big point here is that NI Linux RT is NOT LabVIEW RT. The whole LabVIEW RT runtime and NI driver stack are closed source and you can not install it on random hardware without an according agreement from NI. If you install NI Linux RT on your Jetson hardware, what you basically get is a somewhat expensive Raspberry Pi or Beaglebone Black board with additional soft RT capabilities but no LabVIEW target support at all! And no, the LabVIEW Hobbyist Toolkit can't be easily repurposed to run with such a hardware either. It's support is limited to ARM Cortex A hardware platforms and you may be able to get the according schroot image installed and running on the Jetson, but that is an entirely different thing than getting NI Linux RT installed on the Jetson. It is legally questionable but maybe you could get away with it, but it is technically quite a suboptimal solution as the schroot environment in which the LabVIEW RT kernel is running is a limited non-RT capable virtual machine running on the normal Linux host on your Jetson.

  2. That vipm package seems to have gotten corrupted somehow. I'll contact NI about it. In the meantime, try getting it from here: https://forums.ni.com/t5/JDP-Science-Tools/Out-of-Memory-Error/m-p/4335019/highlight/true#M156
