Re: Windows 7 64bit Compatibility For ALL Tools ??
Modern WindRiver tools do support 64-bit Win 7. The reason FRC is not able to take advantage of that is because the version of VxWorks running on the cRIO is too old to work in the latest version of WindRiver Workbench. WindRiver Workbench version is directly tied to the VxWorks version. Upgrading VxWorks on the cRIO is not a viable option because of the immense changes to VxWorks since 6.3.
