= Setting Up a New RoboRIO
These instructions assume that the computer used to interface with the roboRIO has all the software installed from [wiki:DriverStationSetup Setting Up a Computer to Use as a Drive Station] and [wiki:FRCSoftwareSetup Setting Up a Computer for FRC Java Programming].

All the Drive Station (DS) to roboRIO connections are USB connections.

These instructions must be repeated for each new roboRIO.

== 1. Update the Firmware
1. Connect to the powered-on roboRIO via USB.
2. Open a web browser and enter the following into the URL address bar:
{{{
172.22.11.2
}}}
3. Click login in the upper right corner. Login with admin as the username. Leave the password field blank. (Do not attempt to set a password; this will make java programs fail.)
4.  On the main screen, click {{{Update Firmware}}} for the roboRIO near the bottom right.
5. Navigate to the following address where the roboRIO firmware is located:
{{{
Program Files(x86)\National Instruments\Shared\Firmware\cRIO\76F2\
}}}
6. Select the latest firmware version to flash. Click {{{Begin Update}}}.

== 2. Image the RoboRIO
Unlike pre-2015, the roboRIO only needs to be re-imaged once at the beginning of each year.
1. Find and launch the roboRIO Imaging Tool, which is found at the following address on the drive station hard drive:
{{{
C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2016\project\roboRIO Tool
}}}
2. When the tool has finished scanning, enter in the team number (2537), select the latest version to image, and check the box {{{Format Target}}}. ''Do not change the startup settings; they should allow both Console Out and the RT Startup App.''
3. Click {{{Reformat}}}.

== 3. Install Java 8 on the RoboRIO
1. Run the Java Installer application found at the following generic address:
{{{
<home-directory>/wpilib\tools\java-installer.jar
}}}
  The home directory is the current user's base directory. For Windows systems the home directory is
{{{
C:\Users\<user-name>
}}}
2. Click {{{Next}}} to proceed to download Java 8 for Linux Embedded Systems.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to download the correct version of Java for the roboRIO (currently ARMv7 Linux - VFP, SoftFP ABI, Little Endian JRE).
4. To login, either use the provided credentials below or create a free account:
Username:
{{{
software2537@gmail.com
}}}
Password:
{{{
Raid1234
}}}
5. After it downloads, click {{{Next}}} and enter the team number into the field (2537). Then, click {{{Connect}}}.
6. After the installation is complete, click finish to close the application.
