WinDriver™ for Solaris automates and simplifies the development of user-mode Solaris device drivers for PCI / CardBus / ISA / ISAPnP / EISA / PMC / PCI-X / PCI-104 and CompactPCI. No OS internals knowledge or kernel level programming required.

WinDriver for Solaris is the only device driver development tool that offers a graphical user interface (GUI) under Solaris.

• Hardware diagnostics
• Automatic driver code generation
• Driver debugging
• Hardware access — using our intuitive API (see WinDriver's Manual).

WinDriver provides a complete solution for creating high performance drivers and custom hardware access applications.

WinDriver provides a complete solution for creating high performance drivers, and enables you to focus on your driver's added-value functionality, instead of on the operating system internals.

• Solaris 8, 9, 10, OpenSolaris.
  For Solaris 8 it is recommended to use update #3 or higher (available from Sun).
• PCI / CardBus / / PMC / PCI-X / PCI-104 or CompactPCI
• 64-bit or 32-bit kernel on SPARC
  or
  32-bit kernel on x86
• Any 32-bit or 64-bit development environment supporting C, preferably GCC
• The libgcc package

• WinDriver can be customized to run with any Solaris flavor.
• Supports Plug-and-Play and power management events handling.
• Supports I/O, DMA, interrupt handling and access to memory mapped cards.
• Supports multiple CPU and multiple PCI bus platforms.
• Includes dynamic driver loader.
• In order to properly install WinDriver for Solaris check out the Installation Instructions page.

• Friendly Wizard:
  WinDriver provides hardware verification and diagnostics, automatic code generation and driver debugging, all through a graphical DriverWizard.
  
  
• Immediate Hardware Access:
  Test your hardware through a graphical user mode application, without having to write a single line of code.
  
  
• Code Generation:
  WinDriver automatically generates skeletal driver code specific to your hardware, for
  MS Developer Studio / MSDEV .NET/ Borland Builder / MS Visual Basic / Delphi.
  
  In addition to supporting any PCI peripheral, WinDriver includes enhanced support for leading PCI vendors, such as PLX, Xilinx and Altera.
  This enhanced support includes vendor-specific driver samples, which can be used to further accelerate the driver development process.
  
  
• Driver Debugging:
  Included graphical Debug Monitor to monitor kernel level activity throughout the driver development process.
  
  
• PCI Express Extended Support for Vista:
  WinDriver enables you to utilize PCIe MSI and MSI-X now supported on Windows Vista. Read more on our PCI-Express page.
  
  
• Detailed examples in C.
  
  
• 64-Bit Hardware Support on 32-bit Systems:
  Allows utilizing the additional bandwidth provided by 64-bit hardware and enables 64-bit data transfers on x86 platforms running 32-bit operating systems. Drivers developed with WinDriver will attain significantly better performance results than drivers written with the DDK or other driver development tools that do not support this feature.
  
  
• 64-Bit Architectures Support: WinDriver supports the 64-bit SPARC architectures. For supporting Solaris on x86 64-bit systems please contact Jungo sales.
