Running Labview Driver, PVCAM, 64 bit, however, Main Software is written in 32 bit for FPGA developement

I have a spinning disk camera connected to my labview developement PC via PCie bus. The provided labview drivers of the camera company only provides 64 bit labview support. The code that i have been developing for my FlexRIO FPGA can only run in 32 bit labview. I would like to have these two programs talking to each other, but i cant seem to figure out how to get passed this issue. I tried running the PVcam project driver on the 32 bit labview, but this causes the environment to crash. Is there a way that i can run the main program in 32 bit and call 64 bit labview programs? or does this work the other way around?

Have you tried migrating LABVIEW FPGA code to 64bit, what is the limitation for not running at FPGA at 64b

Hi, as i did some research, some FPGA's dont run on 64 bit for LV 2020 and below, plus im using, FlexRIO R series 7857 and 7976R on LV 19 and 20 environment

So now, im going to try and migrate to 2023Q labview.. apparently it allows you to run the compiled fpga bitfile on 64 bit, and make the FPGA vi corrections and compilations on 32 bit according to the article above. 

 

Going to test and see if it works.
