ear Community,
The AS PVI Runtime Utility provides many possibilities when Automation Studio is not available. I know it runs on Windows, but I would like to know if it is also possible to run the same on a B&R Linux system.
Has anyone tried this, or is there an alternative solution available for Linux-based environments?
Thank you in advance for your support.
If you install PVI development (PVI Development Setup | B&R Industrial Automation) also ANSL for Linux is installed.
For instance in the following path : C:\BRAutomation\PVI\V4.0\An\Ansl.
This folder contains documentation in the Doc folder and also a sample.

Tested, PVI utils(4.12.x) can run well on WineHQ (stable) on Debian/Debian-based as Ubuntu.
Hi Ha
Do you have a list of all the commands used to setup a proper linux installation beeing able to execute PVI unitilities?
We are currently trying to use PVI executed on a raspberry pi running with a trixie linux. Don’t know about the WineHQ compatibility on a ARM processor structure.
Do you have any insights on that topic?
Thanks very much for any feedback
Kind regards
Patrick
Dear Patrick,
PVI can run WineHQ by Pi-Apps: Install Wine (x64) on Raspberry Pi | Pi-Apps

Hi Ha
Thanks a lot for your insides. I tried executing PVITransfer.exe via console command but always get “Could not execute binary file. Error with the file format.” in return.
Executing a simple .pil from within Runtime Utility Center was successful. (Connecting and reading time) but executing a software download (Transfer to target) of a .zip file is currently not working. Runtime Utility Center closes right away. Nevertheless this only works for us if the command can be executed from the console.
Kind Regards
Patrick
Hi all
I now found the solution for also executing a .pil file transferring an installation package to the PLC.
The PVITransfer seems to be still using also some 32bit components and therefore wine needs to be configured with 64 and 32 bit compatibility.
No i can also download from raspberry pi to PLC 
.
Cheers
