    - USB key letter assignement Hi all. Newby here Sorry if i post on the wrong group, but it looks like there is a lot of knowledge around here, so ... I am trying to find a way to force windozs (XP) to assign a particular letter when the usb key is inserted. I was thinking of making an autorun pointing to a bat file (on the key) with some magic command that would mount the key with a specific drive letter. But so far, no luck. Anyone with some good advice? Many thanks in advance. Dan Tag: Using KsEdit Tag: 73982

    - Getting the subnet mask from an intermediate driver Hi all, I need help with getting the subnet mask from bound interfaces protocol date. I can get the ip address by intercepting OID_GEN_NETWORK_LAYER_ADDRESS coming from my protocol driver, but it eventually me something like this struct: typedef struct _NETWORK_ADDRESS_IP { USHORT sin_port; ULONG in_addr; UCHAR sin_zero[8]; } NETWORK_ADDRESS_IP, *PNETWORK_ADDRESS_IP; Which is similar to something you can get through TDI: typedef struct _TDI_ADDRESS_IP { USHORT sin_port; ULONG in_addr; UCHAR sin_zero[8]; } TDI_ADDRESS_IP, *PTDI_ADDRESS_IP; Which does not include mask info. Any advice? Tag: Using KsEdit Tag: 73979

    - parallel port Hi everybody, I have prepared a series of lectures on writing simple WDM drivers. As a minimum hardware device I use a little board with LEDs attached to the parallel port. I also use this board to trigger interrupts (IRQ 7). This is the only way I have to demonstrate real interrupts. But there is a problem: if the LPT1 driver is active I get a resource conflict, if it is not active the whole parallel port is disabled. In W98 and WMe I found a way to work around it but in XP I didn't manage. One way I thought of is not to include the ports in the LogConfig section of my .INF file ( it was IoConfig=378-37a ) - the port addresses are not translated. On the side of the LPT1 driver interrupts are not used. So there is no resource conflict. But my ISR routine is never called. Seems LPT1 blocks IRQ 7 even if it doesn't use it. Or IRQ 7 is not enabled (but the mask bit in the PIC (0x21) changes when I start my driver). The driver works fine in WMe. Then I tried to find out, how to enable the parallel port when the LPT1 driver is inactive. I am aware this is a question of the chip set but on the other hand it may be simple. I studied the DDK example sources of the parport driver for at least two days but didn't find the clou. Who can give me advice? Thanks in advance Wolfgang Tag: Using KsEdit Tag: 73978

    - Virtual video capture device driver Hi I need to develop a Virtual video capture device, I have so far used a normal directshow source filter registered under CLSID_VideoInputDeviceCategory, but several apps fail to recognize it as a genuine capture device even though AMCAP and WM encoder do so. So I have decided to write a device driver instead. Since I have no experience with driver development, I realize that my best chance of success lies in using the existing samples from MS and modifying them to suit my requirement. I have found the following to be viable : 1) The avssamp sample driver 2) The avshws sample driver 3) the TestCap sample The testcap thing works out of the box simulating a tv tuner, but theres an awful lot of code in there and it looks forbiddingly difficult to modify. The avssamp and avshws seem more manageable , but they register themselves as "WDM streaming Video Capture" devices and are not recognized by any app as a capture device, though they work fine in Graphedit. Now I have some questions : 1) Can I make the avssamp filter get registered as a normal capture device? 2) How do i see the output of the DbgPrint and KdPrint functions ? 3) Would it be more simple to write a VFW driver instead?( I read somewhere that they can be simple user mode DLLs exporting a function called DriverProc() ) If so where can I get more info on this?(Google seems to be silent on this one) Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance Vivek Tag: Using KsEdit Tag: 73964

    - How to build a NDIS_PACKET for receiving? Hi folks, I find it is a little tricky to make a NDIS_PACKET by myself. I allocate memory, write the content, allocate NDIS_BUFFER, NDIS_PACKET and chain the NDIS_BUFFER into a packet. However, I don't know how to set the parameters in NDIS_PACKET. for example, I suppose the struct of _NDIS_PACKET_PRIVATE contains the information of the packet. typedef struct _NDIS_PACKET_PRIVATE { UINT PhysicalCount; // number of physical pages in packet. UINT TotalLength; // Total amount of data in the packet. PNDIS_BUFFER Head; // first buffer in the chain PNDIS_BUFFER Tail; // last buffer in the chain // if Head is NULL the chain is empty; Tail doesn't have to be NULL also PNDIS_PACKET_POOL Pool; // so we know where to free it back to UINT Count; ULONG Flags; BOOLEAN ValidCounts; UCHAR NdisPacketFlags; // See fPACKET_xxx bits below USHORT NdisPacketOobOffset; } NDIS_PACKET_PRIVATE, * PNDIS_PACKET_PRIVATE; And the functions could configure the parameters of my packet: NDIS_SET_ORIGINAL_PACKET NDIS_SET_PACKET_CANCEL_ID NDIS_SET_PACKET_HEADER_SIZE NDIS_SET_PACKET_MEDIA_SPECIFIC_INFO NDIS_SET_PACKET_STATUS Unfortunately, there is few samples on how the set the parameters from scratch.

    - iscsi setupdi - how do I get port number? When I use SetupDiGetDeviceRegistryProperty with SPDRP_LOCATION_INFORMATION I get the string "Bus Number 0, Target Id 0, LUN 3". How do I get the port number? Yhy is that information not returned for devices? For non-iscsi (regular scsi devices) I have the same problem as above. However I can get around it by using SPDRP_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_OBJECT_NAME. This returns something like "\Device\Scsi\sym_u32Port5Path0Target5Lun0". I parse this for port, path, target & lun. Unfortunately this solution fails miserably for iscsi devices. For iscsi devices something like "\Device\0000006f" or "\Device\00000070" is returned which makes absolutely no sense to me! My corresponding scsi & iscsi devices are located at Port 5, Bus 0, Target Id 5, LUN 0 (scsi) Port 7, Bus 0, Target Id 0, LUN 0 (iscsi) Port 7, Bus 0, Target Id 0, LUN 3 (iscsi) I find the documentation on setupdi apis & their usage examples incomplete. For example it's unclear from the documentation & examples how to deal with the above problem. Thanks, Tag: Using KsEdit Tag: 73946

    - Hardware Physical Address Registers This may be a bit off topic, if you find it to be too much so, please direct me to the correct place... The hardware guys that are designing a pci express device for which I am writing the driver want to conserve some space on our ASIC (surprise, surprise). I have informed them that it would be beneficial if our ASIC's DMA controller had a 64 bit host address register so that our device can perform a DMA to memory above 4GB. Their solution was just to add 5 bits to the register to allow the ASIC's DMA engine to address up to 128 GB of memory. I am concerned that the LogicalAddress returned from AllocateCommonBuffer will someday give me an address that does not correspond to the physical memory address. It could give me something greater than 128GB, even though there is not 128GB of memory installed, a logical bus address is, after all not necessarily fixed to the physical address of the memory. So do I need to instruct the hardware guys to give me a host address register than can address the full 64 bit address range, or is their solution of just addressing 128GB acceptable?

    - Help wanted for video driver. Hi there, I have an unfortunate combination of a Samsung LCD display (710v) and an Asus mainboard with an integrated SiS 661 video adapter. The display is designed to work at 1280x1024 60Hz and it works perfectly on other video cards. The SiS 661 video card works perfectly at 1280x1024 with other CRT monitors. When I try to use them together the maximum resolution available in the Windows XP settings is 1024x768. If I erase the SiS driver Windows will start with his default VGA drivers which allow me to use the display at 1280x1024 but the graphics are slow. I tried to download and install several drivers from SiS and Asus and also to reinstall Windows but I always have the same result. I also unsuccessfully tried to install different monitor drivers to try to make the video card think it's a normal CRT display. Is there any way to override the driver settings changing values on the registry? Thank you in advance for your help, Regards, Paolo. Tag: Using KsEdit Tag: 73923

    - BDA / AVStream Unique Medium ID Hello! I have got a problem improving my bda device driver for multiple instances. The driver represents a tuner and a capture filter. These filters are connected through a specific medium. Since the filters are constructed by static structures there is no possibility to change the Id member of the medium structure for each device-instance. According to the msdn there is a possibility changing this Id member by using the KsEdit() function. I have tried to edit the Id member wihtin the Create-Pin-Dispatch-Routine, but this doesn't work. It is possible to connect the filters even if the medium is completly different from each other. It seems like that the KsEdit() must be applied earlier than within the CreatePinDispatcher. Has anybody done this before, or is there an easier way? Unfortunately there is only very little information / sample source code available. Thanks very much for any help / hints!

    - Timeout Implementation I have a USB device and WDM driver I've developed with heavy borrowing from Oney's book. The device sends data to the host PC using a bulk IN pipe. The driver buffers this data until requested by the User code. I'd like to implement a mechanism whereby the user code can request data, but if it's not available, it can can block up to a programmable timeout delay, until the data is available. This seems like a common need, but I'm unsure how to implement it. Should the timeout be implemented in user or kernel mode? It seems I could do it either way. The method I'm considering is: The user code makes the request via an IOCTL If data is available, then the data is returned, with a STATUS_SUCCESS. If no data is available, then the IRP is cached and STATUS_PENDING is returned. The user code completes if STATUS_SUCCESS was returned. If STATUS_PENDING was returned, then the user code calls WaitForSingleObject with the desired timeout When data is available, the IRP is completed with the data and STATUS_SUCCESS If the user code times out, then I would cancel the IRP (Is there a risk of a race here? What if my driver is completing the IRP when the cancel occurs?) Any general suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance for help, Dennis Tag: Using KsEdit Tag: 73866

    - The netvmini DDK sample and NdisInterlockedInsertTailList() Hey there, I'm currently in the process of browsing through the DDK samples but I stumbled across something odd in the netvmini sample. According to MSDN, "any driver function that calls NdisInterlockedInsertTailList cannot be pageable code". However, the function NICAllocAdapter() is defined to be in pageable code with the pragma statement #pragma NDIS_PAGEABLE_FUNCTION(NICAllocAdapter) Is this a mistake in the sample?

    - Flight mode not working Hello everybody, I have a problem with the Flight mode GUI on the Windows Mobile device. It seems to have no effect at all. Can somebody please let me know how does the GUI work. What are the .dll calls made by the GUI internally all the way down to the miniport driver. Also the there is a system\power control panel applet. This has a wireless tab. It lists down all the radios on the device. My device doesnt list the wireless radio. Wonder whether it is a problem with the miniport driver. Please help. Sunil Tag: Using KsEdit Tag: 73855

I have taken the GUID_I2C_Interface as interface type , and size is of I2CINTERFACE. In IoCallDriver function i have taken pdo as the pdo i get in function call of the AddDevice. can any body tell the reason as why this IocallDriver is failed. Hope to get the solution.

    - Restart USB Drive. Hi All, I found the "devcon" sample of DDK sample which can restart any device of the machine, for example TYPE the following console command devcon restart USB* will restart all USB devices and USB host controllers in the machine, mean while you could see the "refresh" in the device management window. I port the code segment I need to my original MFC project and compiled correctly. however it did not work even the relative API(ex: SetupDiCallClassInstaller) return SUCCESS. It means NO refresh in device management window. My machine winXP SP1. Is it caused by different compilers? (For DDK build and VC cl) Could somebody help me? Thanks a lot!

    - Security Digital Card standard driver in Vista Beta Dear all, The SD card standard driver in Vista beta version is different from the one in XP. One of the differences is the programming way of Normal Interrupt Status Signal Enable register(please refer to SD Host Controller Standard Specification). In Windows XP, those bits are always set, but in Vista just two bits "Transfer Complete" and "Command Complete" Signal Enable are set. So the SD standard driver in Vista will miss the DMA Interrupt Status and Signal, unless DMA Interrupt Status is set and is got together with Transfer Complete Status by driver. In my case, for our SD host controller operation the DMA Interrupt Status is later than Transfer Complete Status a little while. When SD driver gets Tansfer Complete Status and at the same time DMA Interrupt Status is not set, it never gets the interrupt from DMA Interrupt Signal because the relative signal enable bit is always off. I think always turn on all Normal Interrupt Status Signal Enable registers is a better idea, will the SD driver be improved in Vista future version? Thanks Tag: Using KsEdit Tag: 73796

Hello!

I want to modify some static structures. This has to be done within the
DriverEntry function before KsInitializeDriver() is called. KsEdit wants as
parameter an objectbag. Unfortunately I don't have at this point any
objectbag or any KSDEVICE, KSPIN... structures. Calling KsEdit with a
Null-objectbug seems not to work properly. So i don't really know how to use
KsEdit and modify my static structures before KsInitializeDriver() is called
and certain values are saved within the registry.

Thanks very much for any help!

Best regards,
Norbert Druml

You can't.
The whole purpose of KsEdit is to allocate a resource and attach it to an
object so that it automatically goes away when owning object is deleted.
If there is no object to begin with then KsEdit is wrong API to use.
Write your own. There is nothing to it aside from a call to dynamic memory
allocator and then insertion to a list associated with KS object.
