WinDriver
for
Microchip PIC18F4550 is a device firmware and a
host driver development toolkit that enables you to create device
firmware, applications and drivers for your Microchip based USB
peripherals in an extremely short time.
Including special support for PIC18F4550 device family,
WinDriver provides Microchip customers immediate hardware access
and automatic USB driver code and device firmware generation
specific PIC18F4550 hardware.
As a special feature, available only for Microchip, WinDriver
USB Device also features enhanced support for development of
Mass Storage devices based on the Microchip PIC18F4550
board.
Extensive, tailored Host Side support:
Accelerate the creation of high performance, cross-platform
drivers for your Microchip-based peripherals. Using WinDriver saves
you the need to learn your operating system's internals, or the
Driver Development Kit (DDK).
The included samples demonstrate communication with the PIC18F4550 board
using the WinDriver API (The samples and related library files are included as part of your WinDriver installation):
- bootloader_sample - This sample demonstrates
firmware download and device programming ("bootloading") for the
PIC18F4550 USB board, using the board's internal bootloading
firmware.
- default_firmware_demo - This sample demonstrates
communication with the PIC18F4550 board's default firmware,
allowing the user to display and update the board's components
status information - LEDs states, Potentiometer and
Thermometer.
Easy Device firmware generation:
As a complement to Jungo's WinDriver – Host driver development
toolkit, WinDriver USB Device toolkit simplifies and facilitates
the development of firmware for USB devices based on the Microchip
PIC18F4550 development board.
Plus, special libraries included facilitate the development of
Mass Storage Devices based on the Microchip PIC18F4550 development board.
WinDriver USB Device toolkit includes a mass storage firmware
library and a sample mass storage device firmware application for
this board, which comply with the USB Mass Storage Device Class
Specification.
