PCI device drivers

NTDEV
1

I’ve recently been asked to read up in preparation for writing a
PCI driver for a new device under Win2k and Win98. I’m familiar
with using windows API’s, and have experience writing embedded
apps, but have had no previous experience writing device drivers.

I’ve gotten hold of the PCI specs, and a book called PCI Bus
Demystified, and I’m now looking for windows driver writing
resources. Can anyone recommend some starting points? Is Walter
Oney’s “Programming the Microsoft Windows Driver Model” any good?

Thanks.

I love “windows nt device driver development” by Peter G. Viscarola & W.
Anthony Mason
And also the company Open Systems Resources, who they work for,
www.osr.com
I found this book was very sparse on code, but very very extensive on
explanation, and I have a much larger grasp of nt drivers after reading
it.

Yes! Excellent. Also for just starting “Inside Windows 2000”

Walter Oney’s book is excellent. So is Mason/Viscarola, as well as Art
Baker’s.

However, I would recommend that you take a seminar, and I do not recommend
that lightly. They are important, very important. If all you get out of it
is how to properly cancel an IRP, you are miles ahead of the game.

If you’re talking PCI, I would get a copy of Mindshare’s PCI book as well,
and keep a close eye at the web site at http://www.pcisig.org.

I have serious doubts about recommending anything with VxD in it for WDM
drivers. I’ve seen to many white rabbits chased in this group because
someone thought writing a VxD qualified them to write device drivers for NT,
2000, or WDM.
