WinDriver Solaris

WinDriver for Solaris automates and simplifies the development of user mode Solaris device drivers for PCI / CardBus / ISA / ISAPnP / EISA / PMC and CompactPCI. No OS internals knowledge or kernel level programming required. Including powerful tools for hardware diagnostics, automatic driver code generation, and driver debugging, as well as intuitive hardware access API, WinDriver provides a complete solution for creating high performance drivers and custom hardware access applications, thereby enabling you to focus on your driver's added-value functionality, instead of on your operating system internals. WinDriver for Solaris is the only device driver development tool that offers a graphical user interface (GUI) under Solaris, DriverWizard, for hardware diagnostics, automatic code generation and driver debugging.

• Hardware diagnostics
• Automatic driver code generation
• Driver debugging
• Hardware access - using our intuitive API

WinDriver provides a complete solution for creating high performance drivers and custom hardware access applications.

WinDriver enables you to focus on your driver's added-value functionality, instead of on the operating system internals.

• Solaris 8, 9, 10, OpenSolaris.
  For Solaris 8 it is recommended to use update #3 or higher (available from Sun).
• PCI / CardBus / ISA / ISAPnP / EISA / PMC / PCI-X / PCI-104 or CompactPCI
• 64-bit or 32-bit kernel on SPARC
  or
  32-bit kernel on x86
• Any 32-bit or 64-bit development environment supporting C, preferably GCC
• Hard drive space:
  • SPARC 64: 39MB
  • SPARC 32: 14MB
  • x86: 37MB
• The libgcc package

• Driver footprint:
  • SPARC 64: 285KB
  • SPARC 32: 151KB
  • x86: 126KB
• WinDriver can be customized to run with any Solaris flavor.
• Supports Plug-and-Play and power management events handling.
• Supports I/O, DMA, interrupt handling and access to memory mapped cards.
• Supports multiple CPU and multiple PCI bus platforms. 
• Includes dynamic driver loader.
• In order to properly install WinDriver for Solaris check out the Installation Instructions page.

• User Mode Development: No DDK, ETK, DDI or any system-level programming knowledge is required.
• Cross OS Portability: Use the same source code for Windows 98 / Me / NT / 2000 / XP / XP Embedded / Server 2003 / Vista, Windows CE, Linux, 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.

• Friendly Wizard:
  DriverWizard provides hardware verification and diagnostics, automatic code generation and driver debugging, all through a graphical interface.

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

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

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

• Driver Debugging:
  The included Debug Monitor logs debug information for your driver in real time.

• Detailed examples in C.

• 64-Bit Hardware Support on 32-bit Systems:
  Allows utilizing the additional bandwidth provided by 64-bit hardware and nenables 64-bit data transfers 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.

• 64-Bit Architectures Support: WinDriver supports the 64-bit SPARC architectures. For supporting Solaris on x86 64-bit systems please contact Jungo sales.

• Comprehensive documentation and help files.
• Free technical support, according to Jungo's technical support plan.
• No run-time fees or royalties
