    - Isochronous pipe usage in USB drivers I am trying to send the SCO(Audio) data over USB. I am using Isochronous End points of the Bluetooth Dongle for doing that. I have a Reader thread in Client driver which initiates the Isoc Read operation. The problem that iam facing is: When the Isoc read is started for the first time. The device is sending back DATA0 packet of Zero length always. So Read thread is so busy that it is stopping the Device configuration , initialization which is done by client driver. I suspect some Isoc End Points configuration problems. Can any one help me out from this. OS: WinCE Tag: CreateFile to open a COM in two different process Tag: 83527

    - Windows 2000 and Win XP compatible driver Hi, I am currently developing a USB driver that should support win2k and winxp. My questions is if i have to create two different drivers built with the OS specific include directories in the DDK. Or can i choose for example to use all includes from xp directories and then run that driver on win2k as well without any worries. This is how i am doing it right now, and it works, im just wondering what the correct approach would be? Regards Wilhelm Lundgren Tag: CreateFile to open a COM in two different process Tag: 83515

    - Problem in recognizing selected paper Hi All, I am working on development of printer driver for windows-Xp platform using PCL5e emulation. In this driver â??Letterâ?? paper is made as default. This default information (along with some other information in devmode) is saved in system registry during â??DrvPrinterEvent()â??. Later during â??DrvDeviceCapabilities()â?? application comes to know about the standard papers and their sizes supported by this driver. Paper sizes are mentioned in one tenth of millimeter.(as given in windgi.h header file) The problem is, after installing the driver, if I select â??A4â?? paper size from Page Set Up dialog box, (from Ms-Word), the application is recognizing it as â??Letterâ?? (which is default paper size in the driver).I mean to say application is not sending the desired paper size (DMPAPER_ prefixed constant) to the driver. Suppose if I make â??A4â?? as default paper supported by driver, then â??Letterâ?? paper selected from Page Set UP dialog box (from Ms-Word) is recognized as â??A4â??. Application is sending correct paper size to driver for all other paper sizes. This problem occurs only in Ms-word. All other application such as Ms-Exel and Notepad are recognizing the papers correctly and sending the correct paper size (DMPAPER_ prefixed constant) information to the driver. Can any one tell me why this problem appears only in Ms-Word? Help Please Thanks In Advance Tag: CreateFile to open a COM in two different process Tag: 83510

    - Winsock Transport Service Provider Hello, folks! I am new to this mailing list. Sorry to bother if this question is not relevant to this group. I have a transport protocol in TDI and I also provide Winsock Transport Service for this protocol with winsock helper DLL. I am using AF_UNSPEC for Address Family for this protocol at this time as there is no suitable address family in the current definition in winsock2.h. And I see that Address families are added by Microsoft when a new family is introduced. Do I have to register to Microsoft to register our Address family to avoid using AF_UNSPEC? If so, to whom (or email address) in Microsoft should I contact? Thank you in advance. Hobin Lee Tag: CreateFile to open a COM in two different process Tag: 83504

    - IoBuffer Causing Freeze Hey There, If buffered I/O is being used and the Parameters.DeviceIoControl.OutputBufferLength is > 0 while Parameters.DeviceIoControl.InputBufferLength equals 0, the data should be in AssociatedIrp.SystemBuffer. I create a variable IoBuffer that equals AssociatedIrp.SystemBuffer and try to read the data in IoBuffer. When this is executed, it generates a 0XC0000005 error, which is an Access Violation Error. If the data should be there, what would cause it to create that error? Thanks, Jay Tag: CreateFile to open a COM in two different process Tag: 83497

    - 1394 OHCI Port Driver API Hi all, Currently I am looking for an API that gives me access to the LLC and PHY registers on my 1394 board. I need this because I want to be able to read the type/version information from these chips since some work better than others. It seems that there is no such functionality in the 1394.h headerfile that ships with the DDK. I have done such a thing before, but then I did it the hard (and ugly?) way: - scan the PCI bus for the 1394 board - Use the PCI interface to access the LLC chip. - Access the PHY trough the LLC chip. I think this is not really thread safe because I have to set the page registers in the PHY, which can be altered in between by the port driver. So, the question is, does anybody know a (more) neat way to do this? Any suggestions will be appreciated. Best regards, Jeroen. Tag: CreateFile to open a COM in two different process Tag: 83485

    - Device Name to Dos Name (IoQueryFileDosDeviceName) Hello all, I'm writing a kernel driver that needs the Dos name of a file (that's either stored on the hard drive or network). I'm looking for a function that converts a Device Name into an Dos name. For example: \Device\HarddiskVolume1\Windows\Explorer.exe = C:\Windows\Explorer.exe or \Device\LanmanRedirector\Server\Share\Folder\File.ext = \\Server\Share\Folder\File.ext Under Windows XP I can use IoQueryFileDosDeviceName (found it in the WDK) that does exactly this. But my driver also needs to work on Windows 2000. Is there another way to convert a Device Name to MS-DOS Name in a Kernel Driver?

    - Why no floppy tape drivers from Win2k on? When Windows 2000 came out, it removed support for floppy based tape drives (qic117.sys) What technical limitiation was introduced in Windows 2000 that didn't exist in Windows NT 4 that prevented Microsoft (and everyone else) from supplying a driver? It's not hardware, as my newest hardware (running NT4) still can use the device. It's not security with device abstraction, as it works on Windows NT.

Does anyone know if there is a user-mode equivalent for FsRtlIsNameInExpression?

    - Filter Hook Hi, Drivers are very new to me, can someone help me with the next issue please: I have tried to set up a Filter Hook driver. I took an example code from codeproject (DrvFltIp) and it works ok on my computer (Windows XP). When I try to process the packets more thoroughly than in this example code, my computer crashed (freezes or restarts immediately). The crash happens when I do something that involves a KeWaitForSingleObject or a KeDelayExecutionThread call (but I am not sure these are the only scenarios that cause a crash). I looked in the dump file with WinDbg after the crash and saw that one of the last actions of the kernel were sending an interrupt and afterwards an exception. So my guess was that the kernel is sending a trap that was sent to it by the hardware to my driver to handle, but since I didn't set up an interrupt call back function, an exception is raised. The next thing I did was to try and set up an interrupt call back function, but this also caused a similar crash to the system (when I tried to pull out the parameters that I have to pass to the function "IoConnectInterrupt" from the isrStack). I tried to call the function "IoConnectInterrupt" from the function "DriverObject->MajorFunction[IRP_MJ_CREATE]" when got "IRP_MJ_CREATE" in "irpStack->MajorFunction" or when I got "IRP_MN_START_DEVICE IRP" in "irpStack->MinorFunction". When I tried even to access the parameter "irpStack->Parameters->StartDevice.AllocatedResourcesTranslated->Count" (even without calling "IoConnectInterrupt") it caused a crash. If anyone can help me understand what I am doing wrong, and why I am getting all these crashes I would be grateful. Thanks, Guy Tag: CreateFile to open a COM in two different process Tag: 83448

    - PCI bus, device, and function numbers from SetupDi? Is there a way to get the PCI bus, device, and function number for a device that works even when Windows has been localized to another language? I'm getting SPDRP_LOCATION_INFORMATION with the SetupDi functions and on an English system I get a string like "PCI bus 0, device 31, function 1" and I'm able to parse out the info. But if I'm running on the Japanese version of Windows XP, that string is in Japanese so the parsing fails. I can look for numeric digits and parse those in order, but that's a hack and I'm not sure if it will work on all languages since the string could be re-ordered. I looked around at the other SPDRP_* properties, but nothing seemed to contain the PCI bus, device, and function numbers. Is there some other way to do this?

    - Knowing a specific registry key before plugging a USB device Hello, My question concerns the way to know a specific registry key that is created by Windows the first time a USB device is plugged. Let me explain it in detail: When plugging for the first time my USB device (vid=xxxx, pid = xxxx) to a given USB port: Windows creates a specific key (for example 5&206acfca&0&1) under the directory: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Enum\\USB\\Vid_xxxx&Pid_xxxx What I would like to know is how this key 5&206acfca&0&1 is generated and if it is possible to know it (with a function from Windows API) BEFORE the USB device is plugged. I have notice that this key is the same if the same USB device is plugged in the same USB port. To summarize: I have 6 USB ports in my computer and I know all information of my USB device, is it possible to know WITHOUT plugging my device each key (?&????????&?&?) of each port ?

    - IRQL He11 I am currently modifying a driver we use internally that interfaces with a PCI board. We are adding a DMA capability to the board where we can DMA data to and from specific memory regions, that is working correctly and I get interrupts and get into my DpcForIsr, etc, BUT what I need to do when I get data from the DMA is write it out to a file. Now, I know that in my Dpc I can't call ZwWriteFile to write out to my file that I opened previously, so I wrote code to setup a work item to do it for me. I am trying to copy the data from the NonPagedPool physical memory that the DMA is going into to another buffer that the work item can use to write to the file. I am having major issues because obviously RtlCopyMemory can't be called in the Dpc either because the IRQL is wrong. I tried getting an MDL and locking the pages in memory so they are resident before calling RtlCopyMemory, but I am having a heck of a time. If anyone can help out I would appreciate it greatly, below is the portion of the code that I am having problems with, it is contained in a DpcForIsr. // allocate a work item context pWriteCtx = (PWRITECTX_INFO) ExAllocatePoolWithTag( NonPagedPool, sizeof(WRITECTX_INFO), 'xtcW' ); // assign file handle pWriteCtx->hFile = pDmaStream->hFile; pWriteCtx->pBuffer = (U32*)ExAllocatePoolWithTag( NonPagedPool, pBuffer->Size, 'Wmem' ); if(pWriteCtx->pBuffer == NULL) { DebugPrintf(( "Insufficient resources to allocate work queue buffer\n" )); ExFreePool(pWriteCtx); } else { try { RtlZeroMemory(pWriteCtx->pBuffer, pBuffer->Size); pWriteCtx->bufferSize = pBuffer->Size; pMdl = IoAllocateMdl( pWriteCtx->pBuffer, pBuffer->Size, FALSE, TRUE, NULL ); pMdlDma = IoAllocateMdl( (PVOID)pBuffer->UserAddr, pBuffer->Size, FALSE, TRUE, NULL ); MmBuildMdlForNonPagedPool( pMdl ); MmBuildMdlForNonPagedPool( pMdlDma ); MmProbeAndLockPages( pMdl, KernelMode, IoWriteAccess ); MmProbeAndLockPages( pMdlDma, KernelMode, IoReadAccess ); // // Map the physical pages described by the MDL into system space. // Note: double mapping the buffer this way causes lot of // system overhead for large size buffers. // pTempBuf = MmGetSystemAddressForMdlSafe( pMdl, NormalPagePriority ); pTempDmaBuf = MmGetSystemAddressForMdlSafe( pMdlDma, NormalPagePriority ); // copy the data from the buffer into the work queue buffer RtlCopyMemory( (VOID*)pTempBuf, (VOID*)pTempDmaBuf, pBuffer->Size ); // unlock the pages and free the MDL MmUnlockPages( pMdl ); MmUnlockPages( pMdlDma ); IoFreeMdl( pMdl ); IoFreeMdl( pMdlDma ); pBuffer is the buffer that represents the DMA buffer where the data from the DMA is located. My work item context structure looks like this: typedef struct _WRITECTX_INFO { PIO_WORKITEM item; DEVICE_EXTENSION *pdx; U32* pBuffer; U32 bufferSize; HANDLE hFile; } WRITECTX_INFO, *PWRITECTX_INFO; I am very new to driver development, so I know I am doing something wrong (obviously or it would be working).

    - Irp->MdlAddress is NULL Hi, I'm writing a network driver based on passthru sample. I want to add ReadFile function. I saw a sollution in the other sample (called ndisuio) so I try to do it in the same way. But in ...ServiceReads funtion Irp->MdlAddress is NULL. I don't have any idea why. I checked that in Ndisuio there's no function like MmBuildMdlForNonPagedPool or MmProbeAndLockPages, is it ok (I read DDK and they seem to be necessary) ? Second question : Irp->UserBuffer isn't NULL - can I use it instead of MdlAddress? Tag: CreateFile to open a COM in two different process Tag: 83306

    - pci bus discovery According to white papers when the bus driver pci.sys discovers a bridge device, it will determine if the device is initialized and if not, it will assign the default values to the secondary interface of 64MB Memory, 64MB Pre-Fetch and 4K IO (assuming the upstream device has enough available as well.) What I have never heard is how pci.sys determines whether to assign the default values or not. I had initially assumed it was looking at the Command register (offset 0x04). I had initial success with experimentation on this assumption, but I have recently discovered the following cases: 1. The Command register is set and resources appear to be assigned by the BIOS, but pci.sys assigns new resources to the default values. 2. The command register is 0, but pci.sys does not assign resources to the secondary interface, it sets the command register and leaves the rest of the configuration space alone. In the former case the problem must be in the BIOS. The latter case was discovered while testing hot-plugging on a PCI-Express device so the problem is most likely in the device's EEPROM. The latter case was also seen in both XP and Vista. Knowing what pci.sys is doing here would be helpful to anyone developing devices with bridges, or writing the BIOS/UEFI.

    - One driver for two device? I have implemented a bda driver for our usb device. Now, we should support MCE, which requests the driver to support two devices on one hub. After refer to ddk sample, generictuner, I implemented GetMedium method in the tuner filter, like following: ---8<--------------------------------------------->8--- CFilter::GetMedium(IN PIRP p_irp, IN PKSMETHOD p_ks_property, OUT KSPIN_MEDIUM* p_ks_medium) { NTSTATUS status = STATUS_SUCCESS; if (p_ks_medium == NULL) { p_irp->IoStatus.Information = sizeof(KSPIN_MEDIUM); return STATUS_MORE_ENTRIES; } PKSFILTER p_ks_filter = KsGetFilterFromIrp(p_irp); if (p_ks_filter == NULL || p_ks_filter->Context == NULL) { status = STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER; return status; } CFilter* p_filter = (CFilter*)p_ks_filter->Context; if (p_filter->m_p_device == NULL) { status = STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER; return status; } p_filter->m_p_device->GetInstanceID(p_ks_medium->Id); // So, we only support two instances now. if (p_ks_medium->Id == 0) { p_ks_medium->Set = GUID_FIRST_INSTANCE; } else if (p_ks_medium->Id = 1) { p_ks_medium->Set = GUID_SECOND_INSTANCE; } else { p_ks_medium->Set = KSMEDIUMSETID_Standard; } p_ks_medium->Flags = 0; return status; } ---8<--------------------------------------------->8--- But after I enabled this method, the two filters, tuner and capture, could not be conneted successfully. Did I missed something? Or may I misunder the medium? Did the Medium use to differentiate the instances from one driver? Any comments are welcome! Advance thanks!

If the class name was assigend as USB in the inf file (ie, the deivce would be listed in the USB in the device manager), we find our utility could communicate with our own mouse driver without any issue. Well, if we change the class name from USB to Mouse in the inf file..(ie., the device would be listed under Mouse in the device manager).. the same code "DeviceIOControl" would return an error code "1" (Invalid function)...

    - How to Link USB audio device ID with Hardware MID&PID My question is: How to get the exact link between high level device ID and Hardware MID&PID of an USB audio device? Or how to get the high level device ID of a given MID&PID? Especailly when mutiple USB device is plug-in. What we have tried: We can open a particulary USB audio device by the device ID, such as using uDeviceID to open a wave-audio by WaveInOpen() function. And we can also get the Hardware MID&VID by other functions. It's supposed that function like waveInGetDevCaps() can get MID&VID for a given uDeviceID to build the link. However, by using waveInGetDevCaps(), we always get: mid = 0x1 pid = 0x65 according to definition: #define MM_MICROSOFT 1 /* Microsoft Corporation */ #define MM_MSFT_WDMAUDIO_WAVEIN 101 /* Generic id for WDM Audio drivers */ Could anyone help with solving this issue?

    - Windows XP Driver Hang I have written a driver for a PCMCIA serial device. This device uses the underlying Microsoft Serial Driver (serial.sys) to communicate with the hardware. The problem I am having is that it hangs when I use the driver under Windows XP for the first time. The circumstances in which it hangs are strange. I take a Windows XP system that has never seen this driver and install it and reboot the computer. I plug the card in the laptop and windows recognizes the driver and installs the unsigned driver. Thereafter I can write data to the driver the first time and it responds properly but when I try to write data the second time the OS freezes. I was debugging the driver code step by step and I noticed that the IRP that I send to the serial driver is completed and the completion routine is called but half way in to this routine suddenly the system freezes. It does not happen on the same line of code but it does happen in the same function. When I look at the stack I don't see my driver anywhere. I belive that something else is causing the freeze. But this only happens once after that I can write and read data and there is no problem at all. Any help is welcome. Thank you, Shreyash B.

hi,
in the first process i need to create the handle to a serial port
("COM1"), and in the first process, i need to open this port.

i'm using the code above:

m_hFile = ::CreateFile("COM1",
GENERIC_READ|GENERIC_WRITE,

FILE_SHARE_READ|FILE_SHARE_WRITE,
0,
OPEN_EXISTING,
1?FILE_FLAG_OVERLAPPED:0,
0);

to create its ok, but when the second process will open the serial, i
take a ACCESS_DENIED (code 5 in getLastError)

what can i do to solve this problem?

Serial port is exclusive, and can be opened only by 1 process a time.
