WinDriver for VxWorks

WinDriver » PCI/PCI-Express for VxWorks

WinDriver™ for VxWorks (a.k.a. DriverBuilder) automates and simplifies the development of VxWorks device drivers for PCI / CardBus / ISA / PMC / PCI-X / PCI-104 and CompactPCI. No VxWorks Core OS (wind® Microkernel) and API knowledge is required.


Powerful Tools Included
  • Hardware diagnostics
  • Automatic driver code generation
  • Driver debugging
  • Hardware access - using our intuitive API (see WinDriver's Manual).
WinDriver provides a complete solution for creating high performance drivers and custom hardware access applications.

Reduce Time to Market
WinDriver provides a complete solution for creating high performance drivers, and enables you to focus on your driver's added-value functionality, instead of on the operating system internals.


Supported Platforms and Operating Systems
  • Windows NT 4.0 Workstation host platform.
  • PCI / CardBus / ISA / ISAPnP / EISA / PMC / PCI-X / PCI-104 or CompactPCI.
  • VxWorks 5.4 with the Tornado 2.0 IDE.
  • WinDriver PCI for Windows v5.22
    (To take advantage of the Windows Graphical User Interface and cross-OS APIs).

Specifications
  • Driver footprint: 110KB (x86), 115KB (PPC).
  • Supports I/O, DMA, interrupt handling and access to memory mapped cards.
  • Supports multiple PCI bus platforms.
  • Includes dynamic driver loader.
  • Check out the Installation Instructions page for latest instructions.
Features
  • Friendly Wizard:
    WinDriver provides hardware verification and diagnostics, automatic code generation and driver debugging, all through a graphical DriverWizard.

  • Immediate Hardware Access:
    Test your hardware through a graphical user mode application, without having to write a single line of code.

  • Code Generation:
    WinDriver automatically generates skeletal driver code specific to your hardware, for
    Visual Studio / Visual Basic / Delphi / GCC.

  • Vendor Specific Support:
    In addition to supporting any PCI peripheral, WinDriver includes enhanced support for leading PCI vendors, such as PLX and Altera.
    This enhanced support includes vendor-specific driver samples, which can be used to further accelerate the driver development process.

  • Driver Debugging:
    Included graphical Debug Monitor to monitor kernel level activity throughout the driver development process.

  • PCI Express Extended Support for Vista:
    WinDriver enables you to utilize PCIe MSI and MSI-X now supported on Windows Vista. Read more on our PCI-Express page.

  • Detailed examples in C.

Benefits
  • User Mode Development: No DDK, ETK, DDI or any system-level programming knowledge is required.
  • Kernel Mode Perforamce: 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.
  • Cross OS Portability: Use the same source code for Windows 7 / Windows 7 x64 / Vista / Vista x64 / Server 2003 / Server 2003 x64 / XP / XP x64 / XP Embedded / Windows 2000 , Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris, and VxWorks.
  • High Quality: WinDriver's kernel has been field tested on thousands of hardware/software configurations.
  • Time to Market: Shorten your development cycle and reduce time to market.
