Beginning WDM driver developing

Hello everyone. Could anyone please point out a REALLY
simple WDM driver source, preferably a MIDI driver. I
have developed a MIDI driver but since i cannot
install it via the “add / remove” wizard or left
clicking it i have no clue if it works or not. So i
have decided to start all over again just doing
something extremely simple and see if it works…

thanks

/Karl

Why don’t you just install it in Windows NT as a NT
Kernel mode device driver to test it. As you may know
WDM is a subset NT Kernel mode device model. You have
time to work out the PNP aspects of the driver. Also
you have the advantage of using driver verifier if you
test it in an NT environment.

For examples, look at Walter Oney’s Book Programming
the Windows Driver Model. Also, WDM samples come with
the NT DDK.

I think that “really simple MIDI driver” is probably an oxymoron, but
congratulations on building one. Take a close look at the INF files for
the streaming samples in the DDK. They rely on having a [DefaultInstall]
section that drives the process when you select “Install” from the
context menu.

Hello. Thanks to those who answered, it seems that the
.inf files doesn’t like having numbers in the variable
names (pretty obvious now when i come to think about
it) so problem solved.
