How to simulate a PCI card installation

NTDEV
1

Hi,

I need to install and test my WDM for a memory mapped
PCI card without the card itself. What settings do I
need to make in the .inf file to simulate the card ??
I tried with the following settings :

[Manufacturer]
%Vendor% = Vendor.Mfg

[Vendor.Mfg]
%Vendor.DeviceDesc0% = Myhardware, *SomeName

[Myhardware]
Copyfiles=driver.sys
LogConfig=DESIRED_CFG,NORMAL_CFG

[DESIRED_CFG]
ConfigPriority=DESIRED
IRQConfig=9
MemConfig=40000@c0000000-fffc0000%fffff000

[NORMAL_CFG]
ConfigPriority=NORMAL
IRQConfig=5,9,10,11,12
MemConfig=40000@c0000000-fffc0000%fffff000

If I install the driver using the above settings, the
Device Manager always prompts me to modify the
resource settings. After that, the AddDevice routine
of the driver gets called. Later, instead of
gettingthe IRP_MN_START_DEVICE message, I get
IRP_MN_QUERY_REMOVE_DEVICE and
IRP_MN_FILTER_RESOURCE_REQUIREMENTS.

All help appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Try looking at the toaster sample in the DDK. It simulates a virtual
toaster plugged into a virtual toaster bus.

I’m really curious to know how can u fool the OS about
non existing h/w in the system. I guess on NT it’s
NTdetect.dll that assists the inf scripts to find and
detect the h/w on the system. In this case u r
simulating meaning fooling the OS.
Is it poosible on NT/W2k?

I greatly appreciate any comments from experts. This
will really give us push a in many scenarios during
development phase.
