NDIS development on PocketPC

NTDEV
1

Hello All!
I have some very basic questions regarding NDIS development on
PocketPC
platform and I hope you could point me to the right answers.

  1. I want to develop an NDIS intermediate (IM) driver and an NDIS virtual
    adapter miniport driver for iPAQ, is this possible under PocketPC 2002? That
    is, does PocketPC 2002 support NDIS IM driver and virtual miniports? If not
    which platform will support it?
  2. For driver development, should I use EVT or PB? Which version of the
    tool should I use? Does adding an IM driver require to export a new SDK?
  3. What is the installation scheme for IM driver and miniports on
    PocketPC?
  4. What kernel debugger should I use for such developments?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Jicun,

I presented your Pocket PC 2002 questions to the Windows CE NDIS team.
Below is their response. I hope this helps:

  1. PPC2002 supports NDIS LAN IM drivers (the original PPC did not).
    WAN IM drivers not supported.

  2. For driver development, you should use Platform Builder.

  3. Configuration is driven through the registry (no INF file). Details
    in the PB docs (or look at one of our sample miniport drivers in PB).

  4. The standard PB kernel debugger works well for debugging drivers

There is some info on MSDN regarding differences between NDIS on CE and
NT that may be useful as well. There are also links to some newsgroups
on
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/embedded/community/newsgroups/default.a
sp which may be good for more detailed questions (we monitor these
groups).
