DLP light commander 32-bit compiler

Hello Texas instrument tech,

I am working on developing my own API for the DLP light commander. I noticed people have asked this same question several times on the forum previously (back in April 2011), but It would be helpful If I can find out whether there is a 64-bit SDK  for compiling using 64-bit compiler on Visual Studio. As I am operating a projecting and capturing system through visual studio using 64bit compiler, it would be extremely helpful if I can compile both using 64-bit for real-time purpose.

Alternatively, if you provide some solutions to this situation, I would be glad to know.  

Regards,
Wayne 

  • Hi Wayne,

    Welcome to DLP&MEMS forum.

    So far we have compiled and generated the API library (SDK) for a 64bit OS.  We suggested in the forum on taking help from the web something like this http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa384249(v=vs.85).aspx to call or use compiled 32bit DLLs/Libs in 64bit application.

    We will keep this in request in todo list of ours. Based on the number of such requests we may plan to create libs by compiling on 64bit machine/compiler.

    Regards,

    Sanjeev

    Small correction in my previous thread. Copying and updating the previous reply.

  • Hello Sanjeev,

    We are upgrading our hardware system recently specifically for this DLP projecting and Camera capturing system; it will highly dependent on the compatibility on the software and programming. Therefore, this 32 bit issue is critical to our decision on hardware selection. I am wondering approximating when in the near future will the 64-bit SKD (DLLs/Libs) be introduced? 

    And if there is a way to work around it, I would be greatly appreciated if you have a solution.

    Regards,

  • Hi Wayne,

    I appreciate your patience.

    I already communicated 64bit SDK requirements to our team here. We haven't started working on it. Hence I don't have any possible date and time for availability. It is going to take sometime for sure.

    Workaround I could think at this moment -

    >> Develop your application as 32bit app and use WoW64 feature of Windows to run on 64bit OS.

    >> You can also explore possibility of using 32bit DLLs in 64bit applications. I will also try to explore if this is possible.
