9. Advanced Issues

This chapter covers advanced driver development issues and contains guidelines for using WinDriver to perform tasks that cannot be fully automated by the DriverWizard.

Note that WinDriver's enhanced support for specific chipsets [7] includes custom APIs for performing hardware-specific tasks like DMA and interrupt handling, thus freeing developers of drivers for these chipsets from the need to implement the code for performing these tasks themselves.
