From: clad83 on 16 Sep 2010 04:00 Hello, I would like to know the method to create some drivers for electronic cards plugged on the PCI Express bus of computers. I just begin in the programming world, I know the C++ language a little bit, and I really need your help ! I will have to develop some drivers for a machine which is running with Windows 7 Professional, 64 bits. In my company, drivers for our electronic cards run well, but only for Windows XP, 32 bits. We have never built these drivers with the new MS O.S. or with a x64 machine. I have the MS Visual Studio .NET 2003 and I use C++ to program. Here, for these drivers, I will use this IDE to write the code and the WDK 7600.16385.1 to compile it. I have installed the WDK documentation too (with all functions, samples etc.). But, I don't know how to begin... I am not sure to use the good method and material too... And, I have never built a driver before ! I am lost ! Please, is there someone to help me ? Thank you so much! Kind regards. clad83.

Seriously, if this product is worth anything to your company then get a contractor in for a month or two. This will cost you up to £20K, you will get your product, and you will get to learn where to start. |
