There are two basic methods in which Go-HotSwap can be used:
- Using the WinDriver/Go-HotSwap API: Use Jungo's driver
development tools to develop a driver from scratch, which will
automatically support hot swap events.
- Using the Configuration Manager: Configure the system to
execute predefined tasks upon hot swap events according to a
user-defined set of criteria. This method enables hot swap capabilities
with legacy drivers without the need to modify the driver's source
code[]. Go-HotSwap provides a
console-mode version of the Configuration Manager called
hs_activate.
Having learnt what the Go-HotSwap package includes, we will further explore
each of the above methods.
