Hi, everyone!
I have been learning 4diac for two weeks. My English is poor, so... be patient please.
IDE works on windows7 and FORTE works on RPI.
1.In System View, Function Blocks (FBs) in Devices folder and Resources are different form document. For example, in my ide, there are EMB_RES, PANEL_RESOURCE and VIEW_PANEL in Resources folder. However，there are RMT_DEV and RMT_FRAME in Resources folder in document.
2.In Deployment View, there are two buttons. One is "Launch Local FORTE"，another is "Launch FBRT". But in document, they are "Launch FORTE" and "Launch FBRT". So it can type host(192.168.1.xxx), then launch forte on my RPI. But my ide can't.
3.How does 4diac work? First, configure application on IDE then download (profile) to device where runs FORTE. It's right?
I upload two pictures about my ide. what's wrong with my ide? How can I solve these problems.

As you may have found out it is not your 4diac-ide that is wrong but it is the documentation that is outdated and would need new screenshots. the runtime launcher never was able to start a remote device. In order to avoid confusion we cleaned it up. For downloading FORTE needs to be running in the devices, see for example the raspberrypi tutorial on how to do this. Then you need to set the ip addresses as mgr_id of your devices in your system configuration. When you switch to the deployment perspective you have the download selection view (normally top left) there you can select the devices you like to deploy by pressing the download bottom in the bottom left of this view the download process is invoked. You may want to have a look on the x+3 tutorial. there these steps are explained. Although the screenshots are a bit outdated the overall process is the same.

You are right the download button does only dynamically deploy your application in the device. A restart of FORTE will remove it from memory.
We have a so called bootfile mechanism which FORTE will load on startup. In order to have this you need to have a file called forte.fboot in the directory from where you start your FORTE. A bootfile itself contains all configuration commands for setting up an application in a device. You can generate a bootfile by right clicking on a device and invoke the generate bootfile command or by selecting file>export and choose the bootfile option under the 4diac folder. Currently you have to transfer the bootfile manually to your device. We haven't found a way of doing this on all of our support platforms from the ide yet. However the file transfer service of OPC UA could be a potential solution for this issue.
