6.1. Using DriverWizard to Build a Device Driver
-
Use DriverWizard to diagnose your device and verify that it operates as
expected:
View the device's configuration information, transfer data on its pipes,
send standard requests to the control pipe, and reset the pipes.
-
Use DriverWizard to generate skeletal code for your device in
C, Visual Basic .NET, or C#. For more information about DriverWizard, refer to
Chapter 5.

If you are using an enhanced-support USB device
(the Cypress EZ-USB family), you may want to use the related WinDriver sample as the
basis for your development instead of generating code with DriverWizard.
For additional information, refer to Chapter 8: Enhanced Support for Specific Chipsets.

-
Use any C or .NET compiler or development environment (depending on the
code you created) to build the skeletal driver you need.
WinDriver provides specific support for the following environments and
compilers: MS Visual Studio, MS eMbedded Visual C++, MS Platform Builder C++, GCC, Windows GCC
That is all you need to do in order to create your user-mode driver.
For a detailed description of WinDriver's USB API, refer to
Appendix B.
For more information regarding implementation of USB transfers with WinDriver,
refer to Chapter 9.
