PXI RT configuration

Referring to the LAVA discussion here:
http://forums.lavag.org/index.php?s=&showtopic=3700&view=findpost&p=14982

I was having issues with the configuration database files that are
stored on an RT target in the ni-rt/system directory. Specifically:

CONFIG.MXS
CONFIG.MXC
MXS.MXR
The LAST folder.

I did a bit of Googling and found the below thread mentioning the same
files, and was wondering if anyone had more insight of *what* these
files are used for on an RT target and *why* they would cause a system
to fail startup until they were deleted (this is what fixed my
problem). It seems that during startup the files are recreated if not
there, but I have no idea what they are used for... Can someone shed
some light on this so I can at least sound a little intelligible to my
superiors when they ask? ;-)

This post in Google also suggests that NI can use the files to
troubleshoot a RT bootup issue...

Thanks in advance!
