Hi, our team is trying to switch over to C++ and we can't get code to download. Will WindRiver 3.0's download button work with Windows 7 64 bit? We were trying to use the 2010 version before this season started, and we had the same problem. WindRiver tells us the code has downloaded but our driver station says there is no code. Does anyone know what is wrong/if it doesn't work with 7?

It's not supported on Windows 7 64 bit. http://frcdirector.blogspot.com/2010/12/view-from-30000-feet.html It is supported on Windows 7 32 bit.

If you search chiefdelphi, you'll find a few threads about it with workarounds that don't always work, but might work for you.

I tried searching on the forums, and on Google and couldn't find anything. Do you have any links to the threads?

Thanks for all the links, but unfortunately they didn't help. It seems like they're all just saying go to 32 bit. Does the download command in wind river just copy the .out file you set in preferences to the crio? Maybe ftping and copying it myself would work.

If you're able to produce the .out, then yes it only needs to be transferred to the cRIO using ftp.

Ok cool, not as nice as using WindRiver to deploy since I probably wont be able to debug from my laptop, but better than flash driving to someone else's laptop whenever I need to deploy. So all that needs to be on the cRIO is the .out file?

Greetings!

My team runs C++ on 64-bit Windows 7 and also found this problem with downloads. The solution for us was to use filezilla to transfer the .out after it had been compiled. The file needs to be renamed FRC_UserProgram.out. That worked like a champ.

Good luck,

Mike
