Description

The WinDriver development toolkit uses driver wizards and ready-made libraries to automate and simplify the device driver development process. You can use the WinDriver toolkit for the following:

• Diagnose your new hardware without writing a single line of code.
• Automatically generate your device driver.
• To run your device driver on all major operating systems.

WinDriver enables you to access your hardware directly from the application level. For the drivers that need kernel-mode performance, WinDriver offers the Kernel Plug-In. This powerful feature enables you to create and debug your code in user mode, and run the performance-critical parts of your code (such as the interrupt handler, or access to I/O mapped memory ranges) in kernel mode, thereby achieving optimal performance.

WinDriver includes WinDriver for Altera libraries, which provide enhanced support for the Altera PCI MegaCore functions. These libraries provide pre-programmed registers, memory access, interrupt handling, and master/slave DMA for the Altera PCI MegaCore functions. WinDriver also provides diagnostic applications, which utilize the WinDriver for Altera API to test the Altera PCI MegaCore-based hardware.

Using the WinDriver, perform the following steps to build your driver:

1. Plug your hardware into the PC and start the Driver Wizard.
2. Select your hardware from the list displayed by the Wizard. The Wizard will automatically display your hardware's resources. Define custom resources if needed.
3. Use the graphical Wizard to probe your hardware.
4. Automatically generate your specific hardware code or use the Altera-enhanced diagnostic application as your skeleton code (included).
5. Add your own functionality to the code where needed.
6. Compile and run.
