  2. Kernel-Mode Driver Framework - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel-Mode_Driver_Framework

    The Kernel-Mode Driver Framework (KMDF) is a driver framework developed by Microsoft as a tool to aid driver developers create and maintain kernel mode device drivers for Windows 2000 [a] and later releases. It is one of the frameworks included in the Windows Driver Frameworks. [1]

  3. Windows Driver Frameworks - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Driver_Frameworks

    It complements Windows Driver Model, abstracting away much of the boilerplate complexity in writing Windows drivers. WDF consists of Kernel-Mode Driver Framework (KMDF) and User-Mode Driver Framework (UMDF). [2] These individual frameworks provide a new object-oriented programming model for Windows driver development.

  4. Windows Driver Model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Driver_Model

    The WDM framework was developed by Microsoft to simplify the communication between the operating system and drivers inside the kernel. In Windows operating systems, drivers are implemented as Dynamic Link Libraries.DLL or .SYS files. WDM compliant drivers must follow rules of design, initialisation, plug-and-play, power management and memory ...

  5. Windows Driver Kit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Driver_Kit

    Previously, the WDK was known as the Driver Development Kit (DDK) [4] and supported Windows Driver Model (WDM) development. It got its current name when Microsoft released Windows Vista and added the following previously separated tools to the kit: Installable File System Kit (IFS Kit), Driver Test Manager (DTM), though DTM was later renamed and removed from WDK again.

  6. Device driver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Device_driver

    The Kernel-Mode Driver Framework (KMDF) model continues to allow development of kernel-mode device drivers but attempts to provide standard implementations of functions that are known to cause problems, including cancellation of I/O operations, power management, and plug-and-play device support.

  7. Microsoft Windows library files - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Windows_library...

    Although drivers for most hardware are contained in other files, commonly of file type .sys, a few core drivers are compiled into hal.dll. Kernel mode device drivers for devices on buses such as PCI and PCI Express directly call routines in the HAL to access I/O ports and registers of their devices. The drivers use HAL routines because ...

  8. Driver Verifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Driver_Verifier

    Driver Verifier is a tool included in Microsoft Windows that replaces the default operating system subroutines with ones that are specifically developed to catch device driver bugs. [1] Once enabled, it monitors and stresses drivers to detect illegal function calls or actions that may be causing system corruption.

    Wireless network cards for computers require control software to make them function (firmware, device drivers). This is a list of the status of some open-source drivers for 802.11 wireless network cards. Location of the network device drivers in a simplified structure of the Linux kernel.
