Hi all,

I've created a USB function application and want it to
communicate with windows host . I came to know about Windows Device
simulation Framework. Now I just want to know how much this framework can
help me in this case. I've downloaded Windows Driver Toolkit for Server 2008
from MS connect.
I also want to know following thing:

1. Will this WDK for server 2008 work for XP also as my development PC has XP?

2. What if I want to test this function simulation on other PC? Do I need to
install complete WDK there first?

The Server 2008 WDK works on XP and builds drivers for 2000, XP, 2003, Vista
and 2008. I have not used DSF but I do not believe you need to install the
WDK on the test machine to get it to work.

Hi,

I am working on WDF PCI driver, when i installed new WDF driver, which
actually detects, if any old driver is installed, if so, it detects and
removes old driver setup, after the removal is complete, my new driver will
be installed.
After the installation, I obsered that device driver is not functional,In
device manager, it shows that, there is
a resource conflict, system to be restarted to resolve the resource conflict.

Though there is conflict, after i installed the new driver XP-32, system
doesnt shows the message that, system is required to restart, but it shows
in device manager.
After i restarted the system, device works fine.

Old driver installed through: Install sheild setup, which is NT model driver
New driver: Using WDF model & using DIFX toools to install the driver and
Visual studio setup & deployment wizard supported through DPINST tool.

Questions:
1> When my new driver installed, why the system doesnt show that, it is
requied to restart

2) Is there any way to detect the system restart required through VS 2005
Setup & deployment wizard and show a message to the user, so that user can
restart the pc

3) After my old driver got installed, using any tool like devcon or any
other.., can i free the PCI driver resources?, so that, before new driver
will be installed, it wont get a message about resource conflict?

Thanks,
Kota

I think the problem was that my device was created using IoCreateDevice and
not NdisMRegisterDevice.

Thanks a lot for your help

Hello again.

the problem with my mouse pointer has been "solved". I found out two things:

1: I don't have to lock the surface from which I want to copy the data
because it is passed into DrvEscape()...

2:
I found out that the mouse pointer is still on the surface but getting the
data correctly out of pvBits failt. In DrvEscape() I use EngCopyBits() to
copy a part of the surface onto another surface. both surfaces are created by
me in DrvEnableSurface() and their type is "STYPE_BITMAP". I don't know why,
but in DrvEscape() the type of the passed in surface is not "STYPE_BITMAP"
but "STYPE_DEVICE". If I set the type back to "STYPE_BITMAP" in DrvEscape()
everything works fine...

From: FPNZ

I am trying to create a Driver Update Submission for a driver package that
our company is reselling. The only changes are in the INF file, all binaries
are unchanged.
We have been granted and have accepted the reseller rights through the
WinQual website. According to the WHQL policy documentation, I need to run
ChkInf on my changed INF file and package the resulting log with DTM, then
include this in my INF Update submission.
My question is: Is there a way to package the log file and create the
submission without having to set up a complete DTM environment? As I don't
need to re-test the binaries, I can't see why I would need to set up a test
environment.
I also don't have the original test results from the driver manufacturer. Do
I need these?
The documentation for driver resellers wanting to obtain certification for a
driver package (INF Update) is very sparse, any help would be greatly
appreciated.

I've tried two Windows Mobile Phone, use Activesync USB connection, I found
they
catch different PC Windows driver :

(1) Phone #1 become a Windows CE USB device, use PC driver wceusbsh.inf and
wceusbsh.sys

(2) Phone #2 become a Network device, use PC driver WceRndis.inf and
usb8023y.sys and rndismpy.sys.

These two drivers are all provided by Microsoft , and both of they can use
Activesync 4.5 .

Do you know what's the difference of these two drivers and product design ?

Thank you very much.

The phones are probably either running different versions of Windows Mobile
(2003 and earlier acted like serial-over-USB devices, while Windows Mobile 5
and 6 act like RNDIS devices, by default). If they are the same model and
version of phone, there's a setting in the ActiveSync program *on the
phone*, which allows, for compatibility purposes, the phone to be switched
from Serial to RNDIS and back. It's typically named Advanced Network
Functionality or something of that sort. It's there because, when the phone
acts like a network card (RNDIS mode), it's subject to services running on
the PC which might tend to prevent ActiveSync from working (firewalls, VPN
software, etc.)

Hi,

I have an INF file for a 32/64-bit driver which works fine on 2003 x86/x64
and 2008 x86. Server 2008 x64 does not recognize the INF saying that the
folder does not contain a compatible software driver for my device. I
enabled TESTSIGNING and signed the CAT with a WHQL test signature, but that
didn't help. Is there a magical word I need to put into INF specially for
Server 2008 x64?

Thank you

When I create a source and destination and link them with a path in
VidPN part of a vista dispaly driver, everything seems go smoothly,
except following message popups when I open display panel:
"The currenttly selected graphics display driver can not be used, It
was written for a previous version of Windows, and is not longer
compatible with this version of Windows".

The driver is actually an filter layer between dxgkrnl and real
adapter driver, so there must be some thing wrong. Could anyone help
what is wrong? Thanks.

Dear Sir:

I hope to add my usb filters for HDD and ODD(separate 2 inf
files) on
XP 32/64 and Vista 32/64 platforms. Both drivers are lower
filter.

I try to modify sample inf and show below for HDD.
But it failed to work.

Could you tell me how to modify it to work well?

By the way, if i want to remove this filter driver, how
to modify inf file?

Thanks for your kindly help.

I tried something like USER_C_FLAGS=/EHsc /D_WIN32_WINNT=0x0600
/DNTDDI_VERSION=0x0600, but the build system is still complaining about

WINNT settings conflicts with _WIN32_IE setting

Do I insert another /D_WIN32_IE=0x0600?

From: davidmurray1@gmail.com

I am trying to call ReadFile() on a handle for a USB storage device,
however, ReadFile() returns false everytime with the error code:
"Parameter is Incorrect."

The handle that I create via CreateFile is valid

Here's where I create the handle (returns a valid handle for my
device)
hDevice = CreateFile(
devDetailData->DevicePath,
GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE,
FILE_SHARE_READ | FILE_SHARE_WRITE | FILE_SHARE_DELETE,
NULL,
OPEN_EXISTING,
FILE_FLAG_OVERLAPPED,
NULL);

I then create an event and an OVERLAPPED structure:
HANDLE hEvent = CreateEvent(
NULL,
TRUE,
FALSE,
NULL);

OVERLAPPED gOverLapped;
gOverLapped.Offset = 0;
gOverLapped.OffsetHigh = 0;
gOverLapped.hEvent = hEvent;

I then init some variables for the ReadFile() function and call it:
CHAR pBuf[3];
pBuf[0] = 0;
DWORD nBytesRead;
BOOL bResult;

bResult = ReadFile(hDevice, pBuf, 3, &nBytesRead, &gOverLapped);

The result I receive via GetLastError() is "The parameter is
incorrect."

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

i'm trying to establish a connection with my usb driver so that i can
call ioctl's on it. all USB device interfacing examples state that
ReadFile() should be called upon successful creation of the handle.

Hi,
We are using DDK 6001.17121 . we tried to install src\kmdf\echo
driver in Windows Wista Buisiness Edition. We have only put some
"kdprint" to trace DriverEntry. As per the documentaton, We used
add hardware wizard to install the driver. I am not getting any prints
in DbgView . Driver gets installed but the system asks for a restart.
Devcon shows the driver in the listing. I used DbgPrint also. I want
to know why I am not getting any prints.
I want to know what is the best way to trace wista driver code.

Looking forward for your response.

Thanks and Regards
Subhash

In all likelyhood the driver is loaded before you start up DbgView, so you
do not see the debug prints since DriverEntry is called then exited before
you get there. You need to use WinDBG, either with two systems, or with
virtualization (if your driver will work in than environnemt) to create to
systems.

Which generic parent driver are you using? usbccgp.sys doesn't
support grouping by CDC union descriptors, and you say your CDC
function has two interfaces, so this seems like you're going to get
three child devices, which isn't what you want..

I don't think the child device creation order is guaranteed, so what
you're trying to do is likely never going to work.

Plus, even if the mass storage device did install first and start
working, it would have to have an Autorun that preinstalled the
drivers without user intervention, *and* this would have to happen
before Setup started looking for the CDC ACM drivers. So, not going
to work for that reason either.

On vista x64 and 2k8 x64, drivers should either be WHQL signed or signed
with a third certificate+cross signing. I have at least a couple of drivers
that are in the latter way.
Did you follow the instructions at

http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/winlogo/drvsign/kmcs_walkthrough.mspx to sign
your driver?
It's my understanding that you signed both the binary and the CAT file. You
need to sign just one of them. If you sign both (binary and CAT) you need to
be careful to generate the CAT file *after* you have signed the binary,
otherwise the CAT file does not contain the right hash for the binary.

Have a nice day
GV

The build system is complaining about the error on line 14 of commdlg.h of
WDK libraries, which pointed to this line: #if(WINVER >= 0x0500)
My question is WINVER isn't declared as anything other than an integer, so
I'm confused why the build system is throwing an error like that after
reading the description on the error on MSDN. Any explanation on this would
be much appreciated. Thanks.

TOPIC: DriverInstallPackagesW fails to create driver store entry

When installing our driver package as part of our software installation, the
DifxApp InstallDriverPackages() failes with error code 82 (0x52). More
precisely it fails in DriverPackageInstallW and gives the following error:
DIFXAPP: ERROR: Create Driver Store entry failed. (Error code 0x6E: The
system cannot open the device or file specified.)

What could cause this issue?? Is it really the driver store folder creation
that fails, or is there something missing in the driver package?

Any hep/suggestion is welcome,

Olivier
