Not much difference between kmdf and wdm - just who wrote the code for PnP &
Power and queue handling.

in doc it is mentioned that we need two machine to debug the kernel mode wdm driver…
is there any other way to do this?

No, there is not for real hardware. A 2 machine setup is the only way. If you want to write a software based driver, you can use a virtual machine product and get away with some of your development on a single machine, but after a certain point you should still be using a real physical machine for testing b/c it will have different characteristics than the VM.

Virtual machines. MS’s or VMWare’s usually.
