From: alistair cordon alistair on 20 Oct 2009 15:23 Dear all, I hope this is the right forum to post this question. I'm doing a uni project to connect a device to PC through USB. I understand that I need a WDK since I use WinXP (& DDK has been superseded by WDK) This is my first time doing this. All the books I read still refer to DDK. My question is: is there a big difference between WDK & DDK for WinXP? if YES then where can I download WinXP DDK? Thank you.

From: Don Burn on 20 Oct 2009 15:37 There are big differences, but they are things you want. First you can develop drivers the same way as was done with the XP DDK so you should not worry about this. What the WDK does provide you are better ways of doing drivers in particular WDF which has a lot of applicability to USB. Depending on your devices characteristics you can develop the driver as a UMDF driver, even if you need a kernel mode driver KMDF is a much better platform than WDM which was all that was available with the XP DDK.

So WDK can be used like DDK right? I can still use those books and develop the driver with WDK? I'm very-very new to this and XP DDK books are all I have. I'll check your WDF book. But does it also have explanations on UMDF & other stuff? (winUSB or something like that?) Thanks "Don Burn" wrote: > There are big differences, but they are things you want.
