Kernel-Mode Driver Framework
Updated: December 2, 2005
KMDF implements the fundamental features required for kernel-mode drivers, including:
• Plug and Play and power management
• I/O queues
• Direct memory access (DMA)
• Windows management instrumentation (WMI)
• Synchronization
KMDF includes:
• Header files
• Libraries
• A redistributable co-installer
• Sample code
• Development tools
• Documentation
To download KMDF, you must burn an ISO file to a CD or DVD. Therefore, you must have a CD burner or a DVD burner with appropriate supporting software. If you do not have a CD or DVD burner, you can find third-party software products on the Internet that will allow you to create a virtual CD or DVD drive.
