Charbax | WinDriver Cross-Platform Driver Development Toolkit for Linux, Windows, Linux Arm, Mac at #ew24 @charbax | Uploaded April 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
WinDriver is a powerful and versatile driver development toolkit by @JungoConnectivity that enables developers to create custom device drivers for a wide range of operating systems and hardware platforms. It is designed to support USB, PCI, PCI Express, CardBus, CompactPCI, ISA, PMC, PCI-X, PCI-104, and PCMCIA devices, making it highly adaptable to various development needs. This toolkit is particularly useful for creating drivers for Windows (including Windows 10/8.1/Server 2016/Server 2019/Server 2022), Linux, and MacOS, with the resulting code being source-compatible between these major operating systems.
One of the key features of WinDriver is its Kernel PlugIn technology, which allows developers to create and test their driver code at the application level and then run performance-critical sections of it in the Kernel Mode (Ring 0) for optimal performance. This enables a faster development cycle and significantly reduces the time required to develop a driver from scratch. WinDriver's technology also enables developers to focus on their core business and successfully create first-rate drivers without investing redundant resources in driver development from scratch.
WinDriver supports multiple development environments, including C, C#, Visual Basic .NET, Python, Java, Delphi (Pascal), and Visual Basic 6.0, allowing developers to use their preferred programming language for driver development. The toolkit also offers enhanced support for specific chipsets, which frees developers from the need to study the hardware's specification in-depth.
The WinDriver DriverWizard utility is a key component of the toolkit that simplifies the driver development process by providing an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) for configuring devices, accessing their resources, and creating predefined actions. This utility can greatly reduce the time and effort required to develop a driver, allowing developers to generate a fully functional driver for their custom hardware within minutes.
In addition to its comprehensive features for driver development on various platforms, WinDriver also offers a complementary toolkit for the development of firmware for USB devices. This toolkit, WinDriver USB Device, is designed to facilitate the development of Chapter 9 firmware for USB devices and includes ready-made mass storage function drivers for the implementation of standard storage devices. It dramatically shortens USB firmware development time, allowing organizations to concentrate on their core expertise.
The WinDriver USB Device toolkit includes a mass storage firmware library and a sample mass storage device firmware application for supported development boards. The DriverWizard utility can be used to define the desired USB interface for the device, and the generated DriverWizard firmware code includes convenient APIs that utilize the WinDriver USB Device firmware library APIs to implement a fully functional device firmware.
WinDriver is a product of Jungo Connectivity, a leading provider of driver development tools and solutions. The company has been around since 1997 and is used by tens of thousands of developers worldwide, powering a wide range of devices and applications in the embedded world and beyond. The toolkit is available on a subscription basis, with pricing that varies depending on the user's needs, and provides full support from the WinDriver team.
