VTOOSD

OSR_Community_User · January 7, 2005, 8:05am

Hello, let me ask for simple question, but for me this is very complex,
because I do not have enough acknowlege of windows device driver development
(sorry for that).

Now I need to maintain Win9x driver (TDI and FSD filter drivre) and they use
VTOOLSD, but now DriverStudio (VTOOLSD) is not available for me.

My questions are:

Is it possible to remove dependency to VTOOLSD and is there any
well-known method to do that?
Which is easy for me whether buy DriverStudio or port those driver to
pure DDK environment? If modification can be within one month per one
person, I would like to port those drivers to pure DDK environment, but it
takes more than one month, I would like to buy DriverStudio.

Sorry for bothering you all, but I need your advice.

Thank you,
Hideyuki Inamasu.

It depends on the code. But since you are new, I recommend you to get
driverStudio.

Hello, Egemen.

Thank you for your advice. And let me confirm, you mean that there is no
well-known procedure to port VTOOLS dependant to pure DDK environment,
because it depends on driver source code. Is my uderstanding right?

I appreciate your advice.

Thank you,

I meant difficulty of porting depends on the code’s dependency on VTOOLSD
environment. (e.g Framework)

Since you say you are new to driver programming, it would require too much
time for you to deal with porting details. VTOOLSD helps you use C/C++
framework to write VXD drivers. For pure DDK support, you should have to
write lots of things in ASM language. I think TDI hooking is not so trivial
even for experienced developers.

Good luck,

Egemen Tas

If you have the source for VTOOLSD - then yes. Just rewrite the functions you
do not like.

person, I would like to port those drivers to pure DDK environment, but it
takes more than one month, I would like to buy DriverStudio.

It will take more then a month either

VtoolsD is mostly used for its wrappers. Without VtoolsD you will have to
write your own assembly wrappers in C. Not pretty

Hi, Egemen.

Thanks for your advice. And I now well understand it’s not easy to port
VTOOLSD dependant to pure DDK driver.

Again, thank you very much for your advice and I really appreciate you.

Thank you,

Hello, Maxim and Jamey.

Thank you very much for your advice and I now well understand that it is not
easy task to modify VTOOLSD dependant to pure DDK driver. I will make a
effort to get DriverStudio.

Again, thank you very much and I really appreciate you.

Thank you,

Yeah I’d buy driver studio, I think you can get the whole thing for
$995, incl. softice.
