Including special support for PIC18F4550 device family, WinDriver provides Microchip customers immediate hardware access and automatic USB driver code and device firmware generation specific PIC18F4550 hardware.

As a special feature, available only for Microchip, WinDriver USB Device also features enhanced support for development of Mass Storage devices based on the Microchip PIC18F4550 board.

Accelerate the creation of high performance, cross-platform drivers for your Microchip-based peripherals. Using WinDriver saves you the need to learn your operating system's internals, or the Driver Development Kit (DDK).

The included samples demonstrate communication with the PIC18F4550 board using the WinDriver API (The samples and related library files are included as part of your WinDriver installation):

• bootloader_sample - This sample demonstrates firmware download and device programming ("bootloading") for the PIC18F4550 USB board, using the board's internal bootloading firmware.
• default_firmware_demo - This sample demonstrates communication with the PIC18F4550 board's default firmware, allowing the user to display and update the board's components status information - LEDs states, Potentiometer and Thermometer.

As a complement to Jungo's WinDriver – Host driver development toolkit, WinDriver USB Device toolkit simplifies and facilitates the development of firmware for USB devices based on the Microchip PIC18F4550 development board.

Plus, special libraries included facilitate the development of Mass Storage Devices based on the Microchip PIC18F4550 development board.

WinDriver USB Device toolkit includes a mass storage firmware library and a sample mass storage device firmware application for this board, which comply with the USB Mass Storage Device Class Specification.
