WinDriver software automates and simplifies the development of user-mode Linux device drivers for PCI / PMC / PCI-X / CardBus / PCIe / PCI-104 and CompactPCI. No OS internals knowledge or kernel level programming required.

Including powerful tools for:

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

WinDriver enables you to focus on your driver's added-value functionality, instead of on the operating system internals.

User Mode Development: No DDK, ETK, DDI or any system-level programming knowledge is required.
Cross OS Portability: Use the same source code for Windows 98 / Me / NT / 2000 / XP / XP Embedded / Server 2003 / Vista, Windows CE, Linux, Solaris and VxWorks.
High Quality: WinDriver's kernel has been field tested on thousands of hardware/software configurations.
Time to Market: Shorten your development cycle and reduce time to market.
Application code compatibility: Execute and maintain the same binary code for all Linux flavors and kernels 2.2.x, 2.4.x and 2.6.x.
