Thunder cRIO Tools should work on any Windows-based PC capable of running Eclipse.
The sections below detail how to install and use the Eclipse plug-in for cRIO C++ development, as well as how to set up (image) the cRIO for use and how to set up the FRC driver station software to interface with the cRIO controller. The plug-in has been tested to operate alongside the new WPILib plug-ins for C++ development on the new NI roboRIO, so you can easily develop for both controllers in one Eclipse environment. Thunder cRIO Tools is primarily a plug-in for the Eclipse IDE that enables easy compilation and deployment of C++ programs to the NI cRIO controller for use in FRC-related activities.
