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.
Reduce Time to Market
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.
Powerful Tools Included
- 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.

Installation Instructions page.
Benefits
- User Mode Development: No DDK, ETK, DDI or any system-level programming knowledge is required.
- Kernel Mode Perforamce: WinDriver's Kernel PlugIn technology to develop your driver in the user-mode - then run performance critical sections of it in the Kernel Mode (Ring 0) to achieve optimal performance.
- Cross OS Portability: Use the same source code for Windows 2000 / XP / XP Embedded / Server 2003 / Vista, Windows CE/Mobile, 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.
Features
- 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.
