KernelDriver

KernelDriver automates your Windows 2000/NT/XP, Windows 98/95 and Linux device driver development by providing you with powerful tools for hardware debugging, driver code generation, and driver debugging.

KernelDriver supports PCI / USB / ISA and EISA drivers.

Hardware diagnostics and code generation:

Advantages

Fast -Reduces learning curve for kernel mode driver development.
Dependable - Provides classes that encapsulate thousands of tested

lines of driver code.
Intuitive - Use Wizard for Automatic code generation.
Readable - The C++ design provides for structured, readable code.
Compatible - Use same kernel mode hardware access code in Linux and

Windows! (SYS source is same as VxD source and as O source).
Extensible - Does not limit access to native DDK calls.


Windows versions of KernelDriver include the powerful Driver Wizard.

Using the Driver Wizard you can graphically debug your hardware by

"peeking" and "poking" at it without writing a single line of code.

After your hardware is diagnosed, use the Driver Wizard to generate a

complete kernel mode device driver which will drive your hardware.

Linux developers can start the process on a Windows machine and

instruct the Wizard to generate the code for Linux. To run the

generated code on Linux you only need to compile (note that the

hardware access source is identical for all supported OS’s - the only

difference is in non hardware related code).

Run in Ring 0 or Ring 3:
WinDriver users will be glad to learn that KernelDriver supports all of

the WinDriver API in the kernel mode! This means that you can create

and debug your driver in the user mode, and later use the same code in

your kernel mode driver. This gives you the freedom to choose to access

your hardware from either the user mode or the kernel mode without

writing two separate sources (ideal for programming a prototype driver

in the user mode and later using the same code in the kernel mode

driver).

C++ libraries and samples:
NT version of KernelDriver also provides C++ classes which encapsulate

the Windows NT kernel. These classes were carefully designed to provide

your driver with a clean object oriented structure, and are tuned to

provide optimal performance. KernelDriver’s classes contain thousands

of lines of code which perform many of the tedious common operations a

device driver developer is faced with.

KernelDriver also includes many samples. Use the sample which is most

similar to the driver you need, to jump-start your driver development.

These samples include - serial port driver, interrupt handling, memory

mapping, threads, events and more.

driver
Below are two source code files, which create, load and unload a simple

device driver. One was written with KernelDriver, and the other with

the Microsoft DDK.


DDK: ldunld.c - Over 200 lines of code.
KernelDriver: simple.cpp - Only 35 lines of clean, simple C++ code.
Compare, and see the difference KernelDriver makes!
