How can I build a USB driver from the source code provided in the platform
builder kit.?

I am able to compile the files, but the DLL is not build.
What all changes do i have to make to the Sources file?

Thanks in Advance.

I built the source code using BUILD command from platform builder and set
the sources file for building a DLL.
I did not get any compiler error and the object file is also created. but i
did not get the DLL or lib file.

Okay, let's dig deeper. You aren't giving us enough information, what did
you do? Did you copy directories from common, if so to where and what else
did you do?

Hi

I am new to Win CE and a fresher to device drivers. I have to migrate a NDIS
miniport driver (for WLAN adapter card) from Windows XP to Windows CE. The
adapter card has USB interface.

I was also told in reply to my previous posts that the USB stack is
completely different in WinCE. If that is the case, what is it? I could not
find any documentation about this. Can someone provide me the same?

I have setup a CEPC where I can connect the card and it asks driver for the
USB device. I wrote a simple driver that communicates with the device using
USB_FUNCS table passed in DllEntry(). So far so good.

Since NDIS architecture is not different in WinCE, I thought migration part
should not be tricky. But when I studied the Win XP driver source code, I
found that there are a lot of things different or not present in WinCE. I
have listed few of them below:

1. There are some IRP related calls.
2. IRQL related calls (KeGetCurrentIRQL, KeRaiseIRQL, KeLowerIRQL)
3. I/O routines using USB request block (URB).
4. and many more

I could not find these calls in the PlatformBuilder help of any WinCE
header/library files. But, I could see that using the functions defined in
USB_FUNCS, I can accomplish the task of communicating with the device. But
how do I get a handle to USB_FUNCS in the miniportXXX handlers?

Do I have to write 2 separate driver? One that enumerates the device and a
miniport driver where the enumerator passes me the pointer to USB_FUNCS?

Can someone send me a sample of registry keys that I need?

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Regards

Vicky
