OT: DDK Suite - Feedback Please!

NTDEV

Hi all,

We put the DDK Suite together as a response the various requests for a place
to get “all the info” in one package. How well did we do?

We’re considering updating the package, and want to know your opinions.

Are the WinHEC presentation CD useful? Would you want to see the driver
track presentations from more recent WinHEC talks?

Is gathering all the Service Pack symbols still useful, now that the symbols
server is online?

What additional DDKs or material would you like to see included?

Thanks,
Jean

Hi,
if your talking about the w2k ddk, there are one or
two things I would appreciate.

I’m a beginner to driver programming. I would like
the code to a simple null device. Or some sort of code
skeleton, which does not have any relation to any
particular hardware.

I’m a student, doing my Engineering in India. For my
final semester project I want do some work in the area
of filesystems. However IFS is too expensive. I’m
forced to revert to linux(which does not have as clean
an interface : uses the sun vfs) for this reason. Is
there anyway to get alteast some of the headers that
are neccessary?

Hi, Jean,

This is a very minor gripe, but it would be nice if the DDK
environment would work regardless of whether we rename
cmd.exe.

This is the situation: some of us run in environments where we
cannot be sure whether others are running scripts on our machine
behind our backs. So, we rename cmd.exe to something else, for
privacy and security reasons. Well, the XP DDK doesn’t like that at
all, build.exe ceases to work.

Would it be too hard to change it ?

Another point: some of us would like to be able to write the
equivalent of the Linux “kernel module”, that is, a driver that serves
no real device. This is useful for monitoring, for teaching, and for a
number of other reasons. It would be nice if the DDK samples
included a directory of “kernel module” samples, that is, complete
sample drivers, or at least one, that can be implemented without
having to add new hardware to the system.

Thanks,

Alberto.
