How to Install
The instructions on this page are for the latest WinDriver version released for
the target operating system (visit the online store for an updated list of
the latest WinDriver versions). To install an older version of WinDriver, refer
to the installation instructions in the WinDriver User’s Manual for your
WinDriver version.
The WinDriver CD contains all versions of WinDriver for all the different
operating systems. The CD’s root directory contains the Windows version.
This will automatically run when you insert the CD into your CD drive. The
other versions of WinDriver are located in subdirectories i.e.,
\Linux, \Wince and so on.
Below you will find instructions for
Windows,
Windows CE, and
Linux.
- Any x86 32-bit or 64-bit (x64: AMD64 or Intel EM64T) processor.
- Any compiler or development environment supporting C or .NET
- Windows XP requires at least SP2.
Driver installation on Windows requires administrator privileges.
- Insert the WinDriver CD into your CD-ROM drive, or double-click the
downloaded installation file — WD<version>.EXE (for
example, WD1120.EXE) — and follow the
installation instructions.NOTE
When using the installation CD, wait a few seconds for the installation
to begin automatically. If this does not happen, double-click the
Windows installation file in the CD —
WD<version>.EXE — and click the
Install WinDriver button.
- At the end of the installation, you may be prompted to reboot your
computer.
- The WinDriver installation defines a
WD_BASEDIR
environment variable, which is set to point to the location of your
WinDriver directory, as selected during the installation. This variable
is used during the DriverWizard code generation — it determines
the default directory for saving your generated code and is used in the
include paths of the generated project/make files. This variable is
also used from the sample Kernel PlugIn projects and
makefiles.
- If the installation fails with an
ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUNDerror, inspect the Windows
registry to see if theRunOncekey exists in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion.
This registry key is required by Windows Plug-and-Play in order to
properly install drivers using INF files. If the
RunOncekey is missing, create it; then try
installing the INF file again.
The following steps are for registered users only:
To register your copy of WinDriver with the license you received from Jungo,
follow these steps:
- Start DriverWizard: Start | Programs | WinDriver | DriverWizard.
- Select the Register WinDriver option from the File menu,
and insert the license string you received from Jungo.
- Click the Activate License button.
- To register source code you developed during the evaluation period:
- For USB: Refer to the documentation of
WDU_Init()in the
WinDriver User’s Manual.
- For PCI: Refer to the documentation of
WDC_DriverOpen()in the
WinDriver User’s Manual.When using the low-level
WD_xxxAPI instead of the
WDC_xxxAPI (which is used by default), refer to
the documentation ofWD_License()in the
WinDriver User’s Manual.
- For USB: Refer to the documentation of
- An x86, MIPS, or ARM target platform running Windows CE (a.k.a.
Windows Embedded Compact)
- Windows 7/Vista/Server 2008/Server 2003/XP
host development platform.
- IDE:
- For Windows CE 4.x–5.x(including Windows Mobile):
- Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ or
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005/2008 with a
corresponding target SDK - Microsoft Platform Builder with a corresponding
Board Support Package (BSP) for the target platform
- Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ or
- For Windows Embedded CE 6.x: Microsoft Visual Studio
2005/2008 with a corresponding target SDK or with the Windows
CE 6.0 plugin.
- For Windows Embedded CE 7.x: Microsoft Visual Studio
2005/2008 with the Windows CE 7 plugin
- For Windows CE 4.x–5.x(including Windows Mobile):
Installing WinDriver CE when Building New CE-based Platforms
- The following instructions apply to platform developers who build
Windows CE kernel images using Windows CE Platform Builder or using
MS Visual Studio 2005/2008 with the appropriate Windows CE 6.0 plugin.
The instructions use the notation “Windows CE IDE”
to refer to either of these platforms.
- We recommend that you read Microsoft’s documentation and understand the
Windows CE and device driver integration procedure before you perform
the installation.
Modify the project registry file to add an entry for your target device:- If you select to use the WinDriver component (refer to
Step 2),
modify
WinDriver\samples\wince_install\<TARGET_CPU>\WinDriver.reg
(e.g.,
WinDriver\samples\wince_install\ARMV4I\WinDriver.reg). - Otherwise, modify
WinDriver\samples\wince_install\project_wd.reg.
- If you select to use the WinDriver component (refer to
For Windows CE 4.x–5.x only, you can simplify the
driver integration into your Windows CE platform by following the
procedure described in this step, before the Sysgen platform
compilation stage.NOTE
- Developers who use Windows CE 6.x and higher should skip to the
next step (Step 3).
- The procedure described in this step is relevant only for
developers who use Windows CE 4.x–5.x with
Platform Builder. Developers who use
Windows CE 6.x with MSDEV 2005 should skip to the next step
[3].
- This procedure provides a convenient method for integrating
WinDriver into your Windows CE platform. If you select not to
use this method, you will need to perform the manual
integration steps described in Step 4
below after the Sysgen stage.
- The procedure described in this step also adds the WinDriver
kernel module (windrvr6.dll) to your OS image. This is a
necessary step if you want the WinDriver CE kernel file
(windrvr6.dll) to be a permanent part of the Windows CE
image (NK.BIN), which is the case if you select to
transfer the file to your target platform using a boot disk.
However, if you prefer to have the file windrvr6.dll
loaded on demand via the CESH/PPSH services, you need to
perform the manual integration method described in
Step 4 instead of
performing the procedure described in the present step.
- Run the Windows CE IDE and and open your platform.
- From the File menu select
Manage Catalog Items…., click the
Import… button, and select the
WinDriver.cec file from the relevant
WinDriver\samples\wince_install\<TARGET_CPU>
directory (e.g.,
WinDriver\samples\wince_install\ARMV4I).This will add a WinDriver component to the
Platform Builder Catalog.
- In the Catalog view, right-click the mouse on the
WinDriver Component node in the
Third Party tree, and select
Add to OS design.
- Developers who use Windows CE 6.x and higher should skip to the
If you did not perform the procedure described in Step 2 above,
perform the following steps after the Sysgen stage in order to manually
integrate the driver into your platform.Note: If you followed the procedure described in Step 2, skip
this step and go directly to Step 5.- Run the Windows CE IDE and open your platform.
- Select Open Build Release Directory from the
Build menu.
- Copy the WinDriver CE kernel file —
WinDriver\redist\<TARGET_CPU>\windrvr6.dll
— to the %_FLATRELEASEDIR% subdirectory on the
target development platform (should be the current directory in
the new command window).
- Append the contents of
WinDriver\samples\wince_install\project_wd.reg
to the %_FLATRELEASEDIR%\project.reg
registry file.
- Copy the contents of the
WinDriver\samples\wince_install\project_wd.bib
file to the FILES section of the binary image builder file
— %_FLATRELEASEDIR%\project.bib.
Then uncomment the line that matches the target platform (see
the “TODO” comments in the copied text).NOTE
This step is only necessary if you want the WinDriver CE kernel
file (windrvr6.dll) to be a permanent part of the
Windows CE image (NK.BIN), which is the case if you
select to transfer the file to your target platform using a
boot disk. If you prefer to have the file windrvr6.dll
loaded on demand via the CESH/PPSH services, you do not need to
perform this step until you build a permanent kernel.
- Download your new kernel to the target platform and initialize it
either by selecting Attach Device from the
Target menu, or by using a boot disk. For Windows CE 4.x, the
menu is called Download/Initialize rather than
Attach Device.
- Restart your target CE platform. The WinDriver CE kernel will
automatically load.
- Compile and run the sample programs to make sure that WinDriver CE is
loaded and is functioning correctly (see the WinDriver User’s Manual
for an explanation on how to check your installation).
Installing WinDriver CE when Developing Applications for CE Computers
Unless otherwise specified, “Windows CE” references in this section include all
supported Windows CE platforms, including Windows Mobile.
The following instructions apply to driver developers who do not build the
Windows CE kernel, but only download their drivers, built using
MS eMbedded Visual C++or MS Visual Studio 2005/2008
to a ready-made Windows CE platform.
- Insert the WinDriver CD into your Windows host CD drive.
- Exit the automatic installation.
- Copy WinDriver’s kernel module — windrvr6.dll — from
the WinDriver\redist\WINCE\<TARGET_CPU>
directory on the Windows host development PC to the Windows
directory on your target Windows CE platform
- Add WinDriver to the list of device drivers Windows CE loads on boot:
- Modify the registry according to the entries documented in the
file WinDriver\samples\wince_install\project_wd.reg.
This can be done using the Windows CE Pocket Registry Editor on
the hand-held CE computer, or by using the Remote CE Registry
Editor Tool supplied with MS eMbedded Visual C++ or
MS Visual Studio 2005/2008. Note that in order to use the
Remote CE Registry Editor tool you will need to have Windows CE
Services installed on your Windows host platform.
- On many versions of Windows CE, the operating system’s security
scheme prevents the loading of unsigned drivers at boot time,
therefore the WinDriver kernel module has to be reloaded after
boot. To load WinDriver on the target Windows CE platform every
time the OS is started, copy the
WinDriver\redist\Windows_Mobile_5_ARMV4I\wdreg.exeutility to the Windows\StartUp\ directory on the target
PC.
- Modify the registry according to the entries documented in the
- Restart your target CE computer. The WinDriver CE kernel will
automatically load. You will have to do a warm reset rather than just
suspend/resume (use the reset or power button on your target CE
computer).
- Compile and run the sample programs to make sure that WinDriver CE is
loaded and is functioning correctly (see the WinDriver User’s Manual
for an explanation on how to check your installation).
Windows CE Installation Note:
The WinDriver installation on the host
Windows 7/Vista/Server 2008/Server 2003/XP
PC defines a WD_BASEDIR environment variable, which is set
to point to the location of your WinDriver directory, as selected during the
installation. This variable is used during the DriverWizard code generation
— it determines the default directory for saving your generated code, and
is used in the include paths of the generated project/make files.
Note that if you install the WinDriver
Windows 7/Vista/Server 2008/Server 2003/XP
toolkit on the same host PC, the installation will override the value of the
WD_BASEDIR variable from the Windows CE installation.
- Any of the following processor architectures, with a 2.6.x or higher
Linux kernel:- 32-bit x86
- 64-bit x86 AMD64 or Intel EM64T (x86_64)
- PowerPC 32-bit or 64-bit (PCI only)
NOTE
Jungo strives to support new Linux kernel versions as close as possible
to their release. To find out the latest supported kernel version,
refer to the .
- A GCC compiler.NOTE: The version of the GCC compiler should match the compiler
version used for building the running Linux kernel.
- Any 32-bit or 64-bit development environment (depending on your target
configuration) supporting C for user mode.
- On your development PC: glibc2.3.x.
- libstdc++.so.5 is required for running GUI WinDriver
applications (e.g., DriverWizard; Debug Monitor).
In Linux, kernel modules must be compiled with the same header files that the
kernel itself was compiled with. Since WinDriver installs the kernel modules,
it must compile with the header files of the Linux kernel during the
installation process.
Therefore, before you install WinDriver for Linux, verify that the Linux source
code and the file version.h are installed on your machine:
Install Linux kernel source code:
- If you have yet to install Linux, install it, including the kernel
source code, by following the instructions for your Linux distribution.
- If Linux is already installed on your machine, check whether the Linux
source code was installed. You can do this by looking for ‘linux’ in
the /usr/src directory. If the source code is not installed,
either install it, or reinstall Linux with the source code, by
following the instructions for your Linux distribution.
Install version.h:
The file version.h is created when you first compile the Linux kernel
source code. Some distributions provide a compiled kernel without the file
version.h. Look under /usr/src/linux/include/linux/
to see whether you have this file. If you do not, follow these steps:
- Become super user:
$ su - Change directory to the Linux source directory:
# cd /usr/src/linux - Type
# make xconfig - Save the configuration by choosing Save and Exit.
- Type
# make dep - Exit super user mode:
# exit
To run GUI WinDriver applications (e.g., DriverWizard; Debug Monitor) you must
also have version 5.0 of the libstdc++ library —
libstdc++.so.5. If you do not have this file, install it from the
relevant RPM in your Linux distribution (e.g., compat-libstdc++).
Before proceeding with the installation, you must also make sure that you have
a ‘linux’ symbolic link. If you do not, create one by typing
/usr/src$ ln -s <target kernel>/ linux
For example, for the Linux 2.4 kernel type
/usr/src$ ln -s linux-2.4/ linux
If your development machine is running a Debian distribution (e.g., Ubuntu) or
has the Red Hat Linux (RPM) utility (used, e.g., in Red Hat distributions such
as Fedora), you can use the provided Debian or RPM installation package
(respectively) to automate the WinDriver installation, as outlined
below. Otherwise, follow the
manual installation process, which is
supported for all Linux distributions.
Installation using a Debian or RPM Installation Package
To install WinDriver using one of the Debian or RPM WinDriver installation
packages, follow these steps:
- Insert the WinDriver CD into your Linux machine’s CD drive, or copy the
downloaded file to your preferred directory.
- Extract the relevant distribution package for your development machine
from the WinDriver installation file —
WD<version>LN.tgz (e.g.,
WD1120LN.tgz) or
WD<version>LNx86_64.tgz (e.g.,
WD1120LNx86_64.tgz):- Debian 32-bit —
windriver-<version>-1.i386.deb
(e.g.,
windriver-11.2.0-1.i386.deb) - Debian 64-bit —
windriver-<version>-1.x86_64.deb
(e.g.,
windriver-11.2.0-1.x86_64.deb) - RPM 32-bit —
windriver-<version>-2.i386.rpm
(e.g.,
windriver-11.2.0-2.i386.rpm) - RPM 64-bit —
windriver-<version>-2.x86_64.rpm
(e.g.,
windriver-11.2.0-2.x86_64.rpm)
- Debian 32-bit —
- Use your selected package installer software to install the extracted
package.NOTE
- On most machines, *.deb files (Debian) and *.rpm
files (RPM) are already associated with the relevant
installation software, so you can simply double-click the
package file and follow the installation instructions.
- You may also install the package from the command-line, using
root privileges — for example:- To install the 32-bit Debian package —
# sudo dpkg -i
windriver-11.2.0-1.i386.deb
- To install the 64-bit RPM package —
# sudo rpm -i --scripts
windriver-11.2.0-2.x86_64.rpm
- To install the 32-bit Debian package —
The package installation will create a
/usr/local/WinDriver product directory. - On most machines, *.deb files (Debian) and *.rpm
Manual Installation
- Insert the WinDriver CD into your Linux machine’s CD drive, or copy the
downloaded file to your preferred directory.
- Change directory to your preferred installation directory, for example
to your home directory:$ cd ~/NOTE
The path to the installation directory must not contain any spaces.
- Extract the WinDriver distribution file —
WD<version>LN[x86_64].tgz (for example,
WD1120LN.tgz or
WD1120LNx86_64.tgz):
$
tar xvzf <file location>/WD<version>LN[x86_64].tgz
For example, to extract WD1120LN.tgz
- From a CD —
$ tar xvzf /mnt/cdrom/LINUX/WD1120LN.tgz
- From a downloaded file —
$ tar xvzf ~/WD1120LN.tgz
- From a CD —
- Change directory to your WinDriver redist/ directory (the tar
automatically creates a WinDriver/ directory):$ cd <WinDriver directory path>/redist/
- Install WinDriver:
- For USB:
<WinDriver directory>/redist$ ./configure
For PCI:
<WinDriver directory>/redist$
./configure --disable-usb-support
NOTE
- The configuration script creates a makefile
based on the running kernel. You may select to use
another installed kernel source, by executing the
script with the
--with-kernel-source=<path>
option, where<path>is the
full path to the kernel source directory — e.g.,
/usr/src/linux. - If the Linux kernel version is 2.6.26 or higher, the
configuration script generates makefiles that use
kbuild to compile the kernel modules. You can
force the use of kbuild on earlier versions of
Linux, by executing the configuration script with the
--enable-kbuildflag.
For a full list of the configuration script options, use the
--helpoption:./configure --help - The configuration script creates a makefile
<WinDriver directory>/redist$ make
- Become super user:
<WinDriver directory>/redist$ su
- Install the driver:
<WinDriver directory>/redist# make install
- For USB:
- Create a symbolic link so that you can easily launch the DriverWizard
GUI:
$ ln -s <full path to WinDriver>/wizard/wdwizard/usr/bin/wdwizard
- Change the read and execute permissions on the file wdwizard so
that ordinary users can access this program.
- Change the user and group IDs and give read/write permissions to the
device file /dev/windrvr6 depending on how you wish
to allow users to access hardware through the device. Due to security
reasons, by default the device file is created with permissions only
for the root user. Change the permissions by modifying your
/etc/udev/permissions.d/50-udev.permissions file.
For example, add the following line to provide read and write
permissions:
windrvr6:root:root:0666
- Define a new
WD_BASEDIRenvironment variable and
set it to point to the location of your WinDriver directory, as
selected during the installation. This variable is used in the make and
source files of the WinDriver samples and generated DriverWizard code,
and is also used to determine the default directory for saving your
generated DriverWizard project. If you do not define this variable you
will be instructed to do so when attempting to build the
sample/generated code using the WinDriver makefiles.
- Exit super user mode:
# exit
- You can now start using WinDriver to access your hardware and generate
your driver code!
TIP!
Use the WinDriver/util/wdreg script to load the WinDriver kernel
module.
To automatically load WinDriver on each boot, add the following to the target
Linux boot file (/etc/rc.d/rc.local):
<path to wdreg>/wdreg windrvr6
Registering Your WinDriver License
This section applies only to registered WinDriver users.
To register your copy of WinDriver with the license you received from Jungo,
follow these steps:
- Start DriverWizard:
$ <path to WinDriver>/wizard/wdwizard
- Select the Register WinDriver option from the File menu,
and insert the license string you received from Jungo.
- Click the Activate License button.
- To register source code you developed during the evaluation period:
- For USB: Refer to the documentation of
WDU_Init()in the
WinDriver User’s Manual.
- For PCI: Refer to the documentation of
WDC_DriverOpen()in the
WinDriver User’s Manual.When using the low-level
WD_xxxAPI instead of the
WDC_xxxAPI (which is
used by default), refer to the documentation of
WD_License()in the
WinDriver Low-Level API Reference.
- For USB: Refer to the documentation of
CAUTION:
Since /dev/windrvr6 gives direct hardware access to user programs, it
may compromise kernel stability on multi-user Linux systems. Please restrict
access to the DriverWizard and the device file /dev/windrvr6 to trusted
users.
For security reasons the WinDriver installation script does not automatically
perform the steps of changing the permissions on /dev/windrvr6 and the
DriverWizard executable (wdwizard).
