How to start with LongHorn drivers development

NTDEV
1

Hi,

I am new to Longhorn drivers development, I need to develop drivers for FC(Fiber channel) chip and 10G ether net with TOE(TCP Offload Engine) chip.
Where can I download the DDK/LDK for the longhorn?
Can someone suggest me some samples drivers which can help in FC/10G drivers development.

Regards,
PRC

The official answer is that you need to purchase an MSDN subscription
(Professional Level, I think). That being said, some of the recent Beta
versions (Server 2008) may be obtained for free on
connect.microsoft.com.

As far as information for FC/10G, I can’t help, because I haven’t any
experience with either.

Look at the src/storage/miniport folder. There are a couple of working
sample drivers there. But you will need to obtain the WDK as opposed to the
DDK.

Does your TOE support MS Chimney interface? If yes, you will need to contact MSFT to get the chimney DDK. If not, you would need to get yourself in the TDI I/F or write your WSD driver set. I don't think there is sample driver available any of those. None of them are trivial. For the storage portion, you can start with the ddk storport miniport sample.

This will be a fun and VERY challenging project. Consider hire someone who knows Windows KMD very well and also expert on PCIe and networking if you want to get a demo quick.

Good luck...

In addition to beta versions, you can also get WDK 6000 RTM there.
