IRIS / Application Story
How Jungo helps IRIS in delivering robust products faster

Initially IRISPen II USB supported Win98, WinME, Win2K and XP operating systems. I.R.I.S. selected WinDriver as the solution to interface the WinDriver USB stack for Windows NT, an OS that does not natively support USB. [WinDriver USB] for NT provided a host stack and thereby a means to communicate directly with the IRISPen USB hardware.

As IRISPen's USB communication mode is very simple (only control and bulk transfers are implemented), I.R.I.S. ideally wanted to use an existing commercial driver stack, and not a tool to build a complex USB driver from scratch.

"The Jungo USB stack provides exactly what IRIS engineers were looking for: API interfaces, that can be called directly from the front end application developed in C/C++, to send and receive data to/from the USB port (used by the IRISPen device.)," said Patrick Verleysen, Product Manager at I.R.I.S.

WinDriver's cross platform portability will enable I.R.I.S. to port the driver to Windows Win98, WinME, Min2K and XP in the future, enabling them to maintain one set of code and in effect, one driver for all supported operating systems.
