xPC target support for NI PCIe-6259

The xPC hardware compatibility table lists the NI PCIe-6259 board but does not give the Matlab version which supports it. Is this board supported or not?

The PCIe-6259 should show up in the lists, unless it's reporting the wrong PCI device ID.

What shows up for the board in 'getxpcpci all'? What vendor and device IDs is it reporting?

The driver does look for both the PCI and PCIe device IDs, but that only works if the board reports the value we're expecting.

More info. It seems that there's a typo in either getsuppcidev.m or in xpcionim.c. One has the PCIe device ID 0x707f and the other has 0x717f. Tell me which one the board actually returns.

You can patch your copy by correcting both files to list the correct device ID for the board. Tell me and I'll get it into the next release.

The board returns the DeviceID 0x717f. I'll patch the files and test it asap.

I am also trying to use this board - I see the same discrepancy between the two files. If I wanted to patch it, how would I go about doing this? I can edit the file, but I'm assuming I'd need to rebuild a library?
