Features
- Immediate Hardware Access
Test your hardware through a graphical user
mode application, without having to write a line
of code.
- Generation of hardware-specific
access code
WinDriver generates a skeletal driver code,
customized for the user's hardware.
DriverWizard, an intuitive and powerful
graphical development environment, simplifies
hardware access and driver code generation.
WinDriver's architecture enables driver
development in the User Mode, while maintaining
kernel mode performance.
Many samples which can be used as a starting
point for your own driver. Special samples for
various PCI / USB chip vendors, such as PLX,
Altera, Cypress, QuickLogic, National
Semiconductor, STMicroelectronics, Texas
Instruments, Xilinx, PLDA and AMCC.
Included graphical Debug Monitor to monitor
kernel level activity.
- Multiple operating system support
WinDriver product line supports Windows 98 /
Me / NT / 2000 / XP / XP Embedded / Server 2003 ,
Vista, Windows CE, Linux, Solaris and VxWorks.
- Cross operating system
capabilities
The same driver will run under all supported
operating systems without any code modifications.
Use WinDriver's Kernel PlugIn technology to
develop your driver in the user mode - then run
performance critical sections of it in the Kernel
Mode (Ring 0) to achieve optimal performance
(more).
Allow utilizing the additional bandwidth
provided by 64-bit hardware and enable 64-bit
data transfer on x86 platforms running 32-bit
operating systems. Drivers developed with
WinDriver will attain significantly better
performance results than drivers written with the
DDK or other driver development tools that do not
support this feature.
Access, control and program FPGA chips via the
PCI bus. Enhanced support for FPGA vendors
including Altera and Xilinx is included.
