RapidDriver

RapidDriver was created to support newly developed hardware devices without being the DDK expert.

RapidDriver is intelligent tool for driver development, PC hardware analysis and debugging. The software allows you to start work with hardware after a couple of clicks.

Simply install your new hardware, create a new RapidDriver project, and then select your USB, PCI, ISA, or parallel port device from the list of PnP devices that are auto-detected by the RapidDriver application.

With RapidDriver Explorer you may do work with entire PC as a single "device", or with the separate PCI, USB, ISA/PC-104, or Parallel Port device. Simply install your new hardware, create a new RapidDriver "device project", and then select your device from the list of PnP devices that are auto-detected by the RapidDriver application.

RapidDriver extracts all required hardware resource information directly from the device, leaving you free to begin developing and testing your device specifics immediately. For PCI, ISA and LPT devices, you can read/write hardware ports and memory-mapped registers, and listen for interrupts. For USB devices, you can obtain all the USB descriptors, perform read/write operations on "bulk" or "interrupt" pipes, and more. RapidDriver even allows you to describe and test non-PnP ISA or PC-104 devices.

The Developer Edition of RapidDriver includes all the features of the Explorer, and additionally allows you to create and distribute your own applications incorporating integrated ISA/PCI/USB/LPT drivers to control your hardware.

The Source Builder Edition of RapidDriver includes all the features of both the Explorer and the Developer Editions, plus the ability to generate the source code to a fully-featured driver for your device which has to conform to the Windows Driver Model (WDM). The resulting source code can be directly edited and compiled with MS Visual C/C++ or with the DDK "build" utility.
