WinDriver for VxWorks

Product Details

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.

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.

Powerful Tools Included

Hardware diagnostics
Automatic driver code generation
Driver debugging
Hardware access - using our intuitive API (see WinDriver's Manual).

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 2000 / XP / XP Embedded / Server 2003 / Vista, Windows CE/Mobile, 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.

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.
