    - WDM use of IoCreateDevice I believe it is correct for AddDevice to call IoCreateDevice and IoCreateSymbolicLink and then call IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack for the AddDevice physical device object and the IoCreateDevice functional device object. But if I need to additionally call IoCreateDevice and IoCreateSymbolicLink for each physical device found and passed via IRP_MJ_PNP IRP_MN_START_DEVICE, is it also necessary to pass those IoCreateDevice functional device objects to IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack? If yes, what physical device argument should be used for IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack? IRP_MJ_PNP only passes a functional device object argument, from the AddDevice call to IoCreateDevice, not a physical device object. Thanks. Tag: How to use SoftIce Tag: 31771

    - NDIS Driver debugging presentation at the MS Dev conference in November List, At the upcoming Driver Developer's Conference at Microsoft's main campus, located in Redmond, WA (November 11- 14), the NDIS team will be presenting a session on Debugging NDIS drivers. This is your opportunity to tell us about anything specific you would like to see demonstrated in this presentation. Want to see how we track down pool corruption? This is your chance to ask for it. How can you determine if an NDIS Packet has been completed twice? We can show you how. Need to track down that memory leak? We have some of the best leak detector's in the business. Email to me (jamesmat@microsoft.com) the issues you would like to see debugged and explained, and we'll talk about them at DevCon. See you there!

    - 1394 Isoch operations After IsochAllocateResources, when should I call Request_Talk or Request_Listen? Should I call Request_Talk ( or Request_Listen) everytime after attaching buffers or only after Allocating buffers. I DONOT have any start time requirement. Now I am implementing : Method in use: -------------- 1. REQUEST_ISOCH_ALLOCATE_RESOURCES 2a. REQUEST_ISOCH_ATTACH_BUFFERS 2b. REQUEST_ISOCH_TALK (or) REQUEST_ISOCH_LISTEN (later REQUEST_ISOCH_DETACH_BUFFERS...sometimes it happens before talk or listen request) Repeat 2a and 2b Repeat 2a and 2b Repeat 2a and 2b Repeat 2a and 2b 3. REQUEST_ISOCH_FREE_RESOURCES Can I do like this -------------------- 1. REQUEST_ISOCH_ALLOCATE_RESOURCES 2b. REQUEST_ISOCH_TALK (or) REQUEST_ISOCH_LISTEN 2a. REQUEST_ISOCH_ATTACH_BUFFERS (later REQUEST_ISOCH_DETACH_BUFFERS) Repeat 2a Repeat 2a Repeat 2a Repeat 2a 3. REQUEST_ISOCH_FREE_RESOURCES I think second method should work. But since first method is working, I didnot modify. I think this is waste of processing power to call talk/listen after each attach. How others are implementing? Thanks.

    - Using SetupDiSetDeviceRegistryProperty to change driver on a particular device A while back I spent a lot of time on NTDEV asking about changing the PnP IDs in a SCSI Bus filter so the PnP system would load a different class driver on a device. That worked fine for me, once I understood which IRPs to muck with. I didn't get around to running verifier on it, but from recent posts, running verifier could be a problem for me. Without Verifier, I could change all the instances of DISK to DIAG, for a particular PDO, and the system thought I had a DiagDevice. My Inf installs my DiagClas driver, I can enumerate the DiagDevices with the interface GUID the DiagDevice class driver exports, and everyone is happy. During that discussion, one of the MS storage guys suggested that SetupDiSetDeviceRegistryProperty, with the SPDRP_SERVICE property, could be used to change the driver for a specific device. For another use, I don't want to use the filter, so I'm trying to do this, with mixed results. The registry entry gets changed OK, and stopping and restarting the device causes my custom class driver to load, but it's not causing the PnP system to think it's something new, the system still thinks that it's a disk, so partmgr still attaches to it. Maybe I could use it that way, except that enumerating the interface GUIDs for disk and my diag driver doesn't find anything at all. So somehow this different driver in the stack for this one devnode has not only failed to produce a DiagDevice, it causes some impairment of the normal disk interface. I tried SetupDiSetDeviceInterfaceDefault with the DiagClas interface GUID in the SP_DEVICE_INTERFACE_DATA for the device, but that resulted in a 0xE0000225, which is ERROR_NO_SUCH_DEVICE_INTERFACE, in SetupAPI.h. Removing and re-enumerating results in my class driver not being loaded again. This isn't a surprise, since my custom class driver isn't signed, and probably never will be, so I expect the system to load the signed disk driver in the absence of my filter. So at this point, all I've done is substituted my custom class driver for disk.sys, and that's not what I want to do. I want to remove the device as a disk, and load it as a DiagDevice. So my question devolves to: Constraining to user-mode only, what else do I need to do to create a DiagDevice, instead of a disk with a different class driver? Remember that I can already do this OK with a filter, I'm trying to do it without using the filter. Since SPDRP_HARDWAREID and SPDRP_COMPATIBLEIDS are R/W, should I be changing those, too? Anything else I should change? Thanks, Phil -- Philip D. Barila Windows DDK MVP Seagate Technology, LLC (720) 684-1842 As if I need to say it: Not speaking for Seagate.

    - Access VGA port SDA and SCL lines HI, I am using INTEL 82845G grapghic controller (which support DDC2BI protocol)and working on windows 2000 operating system. I am developing a software which will interact with the monitor through VGA port's SDA(system data line) and SCL(system clock line) data lines. According to access.bus protocol, pin 12 and pin 15 of a VGA port (D_SUB connector) are for SDA and SCl data lines. And they have given a protocoll about the data which should be sent to these data lines. Now my problem is how to send the data these lines through program. setSDA(), getSDA() .... should be the underline functions which will interact with the hardware (VGA port), which I guess should be implemented in the driver , now how to access these functions through my software? If I have to write a driver, I can use VideoPortDDCMonitorHelper function , but here also I have to supply the address were I want to send the data. I have to write the functions like typedef struct _I2C_CALLBACKS { PVIDEO_WRITE_CLOCK_LINE WriteClockLine; PVIDEO_WRITE_DATA_LINE WriteDataLine; PVIDEO_READ_CLOCK_LINE ReadClockLine; PVIDEO_READ_DATA_LINE ReadDataLine; } I2C_CALLBACKS, *PI2C_CALLBACKS; VOID I2CWriteClock(PVOID HwDeviceExtension, UCHAR data) { const ULONG nbitClock = 3; const ULONG Clock = 1 << nbitClock; PHW_DEVICE_EXTENSION hwDeviceExtension = HwDeviceExtension; ULONG ul; P2_DECL; ul = VideoPortReadRegisterUlong(DDC_DATA); ul &= ~Clock; ul |= (data & 1) << nbitClock; VideoPortWriteRegisterUlong(DDC_DATA, ul); } Can anybody over there guid me , how to write these functions and the addresses which I should supply so that it will get written on VGA port's 12'th and 15'th pin. for eg. this is sample code from 3dlab's driver, Now if I want to use same code, what will be the value of DDC_DATA, DDC_DATA is actually a virtual address of the DDC_control registor. Will it be same for all graphic chips? VOID I2CWriteClock(PVOID HwDeviceExtension, UCHAR data) { const ULONG nbitClock = 3; const ULONG Clock = 1 << nbitClock; PHW_DEVICE_EXTENSION hwDeviceExtension = HwDeviceExtension; ULONG ul; P2_DECL; ul = VideoPortReadRegisterUlong(DDC_DATA); ul &= ~Clock; ul |= (data & 1) << nbitClock; VideoPortWriteRegisterUlong(DDC_DATA, ul); } Also I want to know who supply the PVIDEO_PORT_CONFIG_INFO ConfigInfo parameter in the Find Adapter function? As to get the base affress I need AdapterInterface = PCIBus, but in my case, this whole struture is something like not accesseble. Please help There must be some predefined mapping of physical registers to the virtual registers, does any bbody is having idea about this mapping and how DDC control register will be mapped?

I put my source code under c:\xxxxxxx\wdm.nt directory, then build the source code. The generated .sys works well under Win98/ME, but it crash the win2k/xp immediately when it starts. Later I rename the directory to c:\xxxxxxx\wdm1.nt, (one more character), it works well on all Windows OS.

    - Error msg upon adding printer Hi, I am trying to install my custom printer driver via the Add Printer Wizard. Upon clicking on Finish, I get an error message saying: "Printer Driver not installed. Operation could not be completed." My .inf file installs 3 files: a graphic DLL, a UI DLL and a print processor. Error messages in setupAPI.log complained about the files not having digital signature information. This also happens to samples that come with the DDK. Does anyone know why I get the error message and how I can fix it ? Is it a must to have the DLLs properly implemented ? My goal at this stage is to install my print driver that does nothing. Regardless of what it does, I want to be able to install it at least. Many thanks, Michael. Tag: How to use SoftIce Tag: 31700

    - USB Bulk In&OUT each need two handles? Hi If my usb device has two endpoints - Bulk_IN and Bulk_OUT. I try to use the bulkusb sample code within windows 2000 ddk to communicate with my usb device. According to the sample code, it seems that I need to use two GUID based string plus the "\PIPEXX" string to CreateFile() in test application and get back two handles, one for Bulk_IN and the other for Bulk_OUT, if I need to bulk-in & bulk-out data to device. My question is that can I use one handle to bulk-in and bulk-out data ? If yes, which way is the best way and what can I do? ps. I try to use GUID based string but not plus the "\PIPEXX" string (for example, "\PIPE00") and CreateFile() is successful. The handle I got can used to send DeviceIoControl(), but can't used to WriteFile() ( or ReadFile() maybe) and gets the error code ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE. Ricky Tag: How to use SoftIce Tag: 31699

    - Power Management fails with the USB 2.0 host controller Hi, We have USB to Serial port converter. We have written windows-2000/XP WDM driver for that device. The 2000/XP WDM driver is working fine with all the serial port applications. When we receive PowerDeviceD1,PowerDeviceD2 or PowerDeviceD3 we are stopping the all the USB transactions. And configuring the device (Setting the registers and starting the USB transsactions) when the we receive PowerDeviceD0. When the systems comes out of the standby mode, my device (Application) works fine with the 1.1 hostcontroller. But the same thing is not happenning with the 2.0 hostcontroller. i.e My device doesn't work when system comes out of standby mode. I Debugged this issue and I found that VendorCommands (For Configureing the device registers) and Usb Bulk requests are failing when we are processing the PowerDeviceD0. That is why device is not working properly. URB status is 0x80000300 with VIA2.0 Hostcontroller URB status is 0xc0000005 with NEC2.0 Hostcontroller Operating system used windows-2000.

    - NDIS IM & Miniports & Bluescreens & how to support Hello, There is a well known problem between NDIS IM and Miniport drivers where the addition of the IM causes the Miniport to bluescreen. The solution is always upgrade the miniport to the latest, which has solved the problem. My problem as a vendor shipping an IM is when our product is installed the bluescreen happens so it is our products fault. Our support folks don't like having to tell customers to go get the latest driver from their NIC vendor. When I have looked at the fault it typically is a pointer dereference of an information buffer in a get or set oid. Does anyone have any idea what the underlying problem is with the minport. Why does it work without the IM? Is there anyway for the IM to protect against such problems? Thanks in advanced. Regards, Michael Wright Tag: How to use SoftIce Tag: 31632

    - usb SUN keyboard driver? I do not know if i'm in the correct newsgroup (if not: sorry). I've the following question: I'm trying to enable the SUN specific keys (front, copy, paste, etc.) of a SUN type-6 usb keyboard which is connected to a windows XP machine. I've already played with mapping of the scan codes in the registry, but i don't know how to reach the SUN specific keys. Is it possible to enable these buttons via scan code mapping in the registry or do i have to write a driver? In the 'USB HID to PS/2 Scan Code Translation Table' the PS/2 make and break scan codes for the SUN specific keys are unassigned, is this relevant? Tag: How to use SoftIce Tag: 31535

    - Suspend /Resume doesn't work with the 2.0 hostcontroller Hi, We have USB to Serial port converter. We have written windows-2000/XP WDM driver for that device. The 2000/XP WDM driver is working fine with all the serial port applications. When we receive PowerDeviceD1,PowerDeviceD2 or PowerDeviceD3 we are stopping the all the USB transactions. And configuring the device (Setting the registers and starting the USB transsactions) when the we receive PowerDeviceD0. When the systems comes out of the standby mode, my device (Application) works fine with the 1.1 hostcontroller. But the same thing is not happenning with the 2.0 hostcontroller. i.e My device doesn't work when system comes out of standby mode. I Debugged this issue and I found that VendorCommands (For Configureing the device registers) and Usb Bulk requests are failing when we are processing the PowerDeviceD0. That is why device is not working properly. The status of the URB when the USB Bulk or Vendor requests failed: URB status is 0x80000300 with VIA2.0 Hostcontroller URB status is 0xc0000005 with NEC2.0 Hostcontroller Does anyone have any idea why this not work?

    - TDI Drivers So, i have to write a VXD for doing this or it is transparent for the TDI Clients? All i have to do is to connect to a socket and communicate (as if like a regular socket application). In other words does the functions defined in TdiKrnl.h work under 98/ME? If not, then where can i get information on this VXD interface. I don't see anything in the DDK Thanks, Venkatesh. "Thomas F.

I am a Newbie here. I have SoftIce. What I want to do is search for
a text string in memory. Suppose you have a simple text editor open
with a unique string typed into the editor. Now, you want to search
for that unique string in memory using SoftIce. What are the specific
commands I need to search all memory on my computer? A situation
where this is needed is suppose you have a script that is encrypted.
However, a program must read the encrypted script and decrypt it and
store the plain-text script somewhere in memory.

Any suggests is welcom.
