"The combined solution is expected to enable USB developers to get their products to market faster by allowing engineers to focus on core technologies."

WinDriver provides graphical development environments, immediate hardware access and automatic USB driver code generation capabilities, driver debugging utilities and samples to eliminate driver development bottlenecks and accelerate the device development cycle. The toolkit featured in Cypress development kits includes APIs, specifically customized for Cypress's EZ-USB family, that will help accelerate USB driver development. WinDriver supports USB driver development under Windows 98, Me, NT, 2000, XP and Server 2003, Windows CE .NET and Linux, with driver code being compatible across the supported operating systems.
