WinDriver is a Windows development tool for building hardware drivers without having extensive knowledge of kernel programming or OS internals. Users are able to construct system files that are necessary for the correct functioning of target devices.

Brief description

This integrated development environment helps you create hardware drivers. It is possible to interact with:

GPUs;
Sound cards;
Network adapters;
Storage drives, etc.

There is a proprietary high level API that allows developers to write code in user mode rather than in the kernel. This significantly reduces the complexity and risk associated with driver programming. The list of supported languages includes C, C++, Python and Visual Basic.

Simulation and debugging

Users can emulate the behavior of a specific device before it is even available, speeding up the overall timeline and eliminating hardware dependencies. Additionally, there is an option to monitor internal communications with the driver. All data transfers, error reports and system performance metrics are presented visually to simplify the troubleshooting process.

Features

free to download and use;
empowers you to write system drivers for different peripherals and internal PC components;
contains a custom application programming interface to streamline development;
users can effortlessly simulate target devices;
compatible with all modern versions of Windows.
