drivers

I want to program a microcontroller (AVR) to control some leds through USB. It's just out of interest in how to build and program USB devices. There are some AVR microcontrollers that support the USB protocol or I could implement the USB protocol in an another microcontroller myself, but I wonder what to use to write your own drivers on the computer. My level in system programming: total noob (hence the question) So what is the literature you people would advice to get good knowledge of the USB technology and how to write your own drivers and beyond? P.S.: I know: C (probably will need it here

I have a setup MSI for our application, and I also have signed FTDI drivers that need to be installed as well. I'd like for them to be installed with Burn rather than the WiX MSI to keep CustomActions out of the MSI (however, I've tried the CA route as well). I've tried putting the instruction in an ExePackage , but the SourceFile attribute asks for the file location during build, not runtime (e.g. <ExePackage Id="InstallDrivers" DisplayName="Installing Drivers" SourceFile="[InstallFolder]Drivers\DPInst.exe" InstallCommand="/SA /SW" PerMachine="yes" After="MyMSISetup" Description="Installing

I want to create a software which windows will detect it as a installed printer driver and list that software under "Devices and Printers" Just like the ImagePrinter sowftware, you can access it through following link. http://sourceforge.net/projects/imageprinter/ when this Image Printer is installed on a computer, windows lists it under Printers and Devices so we can right click and share it in our network. LAN users can add this as a remote printer and send print jobs to it, which it will in turn convert those print jobs to image format (jpg etc.) and save in a specified directory. What I

I am trying to install drivers with Inno setup and it looks like there are (at leas) two way to do this: add DPinst.Exe to the or run rundll against the .inf file. I know there is two different version of DPinst for x86 and x64, are there different version depending on the OS (I need to support XP, Vista and 7) Do I need admin permission for these methods? Which method is recommended? You use the same DPInst version for all versions of the operating systems; the only distinction is 32-bit vs. 64-bit. The WDK comes with both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. Personally, here's what I do (on InnoSetup

Is there an IBM Driver so we can use Linq to Entity framework to connect to DB2 and generate the DB2 entities on the desinger edmx file? Any links would be greatly appreciated 7 is out. You can install DB2 9.7 client in your pc to connect to any DB2 version. You can create edmx file to DB2 8.2 database too using this 9.7 client. While developing you might require a visual studio debugger similar to that of Scott's - Linq to SQL debug visualizer. In that case feel free to download my RV's Linq to Entity visualizer at http://www.rajavenkatesh.com/projects.aspx Good luck RV Yes. Register yourself

I'm looking for writing virtual camera drivers. Does anybody has idea? Any book that would be helpful or any link. Adding more details: I have developed a device driver which saves the image to disk and the display uses the device driver to display the image. The performance does not seem good. The fns. that I have used are: //to capture GetDesktopWindow() CreateCompatibleBitmap() Save() //to display WM_MOUSEMOVE giving a call to capture and display every time but the display is not continuous and appears only after window goes out of focus and comes in focus again Should I use some other

What is a good resource to get started with Windows file system driver development for a newbie? Windows NT File System Internals by Rajeev Nagar. OSR Online's File System Resource page (and OSR Online in general): http://www.osronline.com/section.cfm?section=20 The NTFSD mailing list/forum (also hosted by OSR): http://www.osronline.com/page.cfm?name=ListServer And starting with Vista, the Windows Driver Kit (WDK), which used to be called the DDK, now includes the Installable File Systems (IFS) Kit: http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/wdk/default.mspx Just a heads up - Windows file system
