INF file expert authors help me

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

Hi,

Iam trying to write a win2k plug n play driver for 16 bit PCMCIA PC
card.
Iam having one doubt in writing INF file.
That is "ClassGuid"
Which class name should I define in my INF file.
whether I have to define the same class name "PCMCIA" as per DDK
documentation or I can specify My own class name?
If I use separate class name, so which ClassGuid shall I use for
that.

As per the following para from DDK documentation,it is confirm that
this class is for only system-supplied drivers of PCMCIA and CardBus
host controllers, but not drivers of PCMCIA or CardBus peripherals.
////////////////////////////////////////////////////

PCMCIA Adapters
Class = PCMCIA
ClassGuid = {4d36e977-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}
This class includes system-supplied drivers of PCMCIA and CardBus host
controllers, but not drivers of PCMCIA or CardBus peripherals.

///////////////////////////////////////////////////

I used the following in my INF file
Class = ACLPCMCIA
ClassGuid = {4d36e97e-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}

I took pcmcia id from the following registry path.
CurrentControlSet\Enum\PCMCIA\
and written in my INF file as follows.
PCMCIA\Apollo-ApoorvaCard-77F7.

I Plugged pcmcia card in PC and appeared new harware found wizard.I
followed the steps and I given my .INF file path.
After I found blue death screen and PC restarted.

Before I created Win2k plug n play driver project in VC++ 6.0 and
compiled with wizard generated code and without adding my code.The
generated .sys file Iam using in INF file to copy to destination dirs.

For detecting a device is it required to add any code in drivers or
the default pnp driver project code is sufficient?

What could be the problem?Please help me in solving the above
issues.Iam ready to send my INF file if required.
If Iam going in a wrong direction please guide me in right way.
Thank u
Mahender.

Well without an INF file, and without !analyze -v on the dump, there is no
way anyone can help you.

Ok, we already know that :)

Correct.

Good.

Probably this is not because your INF, but because of the .sys driver.

Put a breakpoint in your DriverEntry.
Will it stop on this breakpoint before the bluescreen occurs?

Project in VC++ ?! Is this NuMega Driver Studio?

Default is sufficient.

Use a kernel debugger.
If you have the NuMega suite, then you have the SoftIce.
Otherwise install WinDbg. This is a right way.

Hi,

Thank u Mr.Pavel and Mr.Don Burn.

In my INF file I created different class name which is not defined in
the DDK documentation.

PCMCIA ID is
PCMCIA\Apoorva_1553_PCMCIA_Card..-Apollo_C.Labs-77F7
Manufacturer = Apoorva_1553_PCMCIA_Card..
Product = Apollo_C.Labs
CRC = 77F7
The following is my INF file.If any mistake in the File Please guide
me.
