RoboRIO is a real-time embedded industrial controller produced by National Instruments. It is powered by a Xilinx Dual-Core ARM Cortex™-A9 clocked at 667 MHz, as well as an FPGA.[1] It features support for CAN bus, as well as PWM. It was designed primarily for the FIRST Robotics Competition, where it replaced the CompactRIO.[2][1][3][4][5]

Hardware[edit]

RoboRIO is substantially less modular than its predecessor, and features many quality of life improvements specifically for use within FRC. RoboRIO supports classical CAN bus, but not FD natively[6] the primary data transfer standard for use in the FRC control system.[6] It also features Pulse Width Modulation support,[6] and dedicated output for a Robot Signal Light.[2][6] It contains 256MB of Random-access memory, and 512MB of internal storage expandable through Micro SD card. RoboRIO 2.0 expands this to 512MB of DDR3, and 4GB of storage(through an included SD card.)[5][4][2][1] It is also capable of computer vision tracking.[7]

Software[edit]

RoboRIO supports several languages commonly used by FRC teams, including LabVIEW, C++, and Java.[2][1] During testing, the RoboRIO communicates with a drivers station through a radio, while during matches it communicates through the Field Management System.[5]
