6.1 User-Mode Debugging
- Since WinDriver is accessed from the user mode, we recommend that you
first debug your code using your standard debugging software.
- The Debug Monitor utility [6.2] logs debug messages
from WinDriver's kernel- and user-mode APIs. You can also use WinDriver
APIs to send your own debug messages to the Debug Monitor log.
- When using WinDriver's API (such as WD_Transfer() - see the
WinDriver PCI Low-Level API Reference), to read/write memory ranges on the card in the
kernel, while the Debug Monitor [6.2] is activated,
WinDriver's kernel module validates the memory ranges, i.e. it verifies
that the reading/writing from/to the memory is in the range that is
defined for the card.
- Use DriverWizard to check values of memory and registers in the
debugging process.
