3. Windows and Visual Studio are collaborating to create a world-class environment for driver development.

4. Agenda Why modern driver development?
Getting started/migrating to Visual Studio
Focus on driver quality
Simplifying common driver development tasks
You’ll leave with
An understanding of Microsoft investments for driver development and how to use them to create great drivers more quickly

5. Primary goals for Windows 8
Make developers more productive
Integrate driver tools into the modern Visual Studio environment
Find defects early
Move quality “upstream” in the development process
Integrate quality tools and tests into Visual Studio
Ease creation of more reliable, better-performing drivers
Enhance driver development frameworks
Simplify common driver development tasks

6. Driver development in Visual Studio “11”
Visual Studio “11” is the recommended development environment for building Windows 8 drivers
Driver-specific functionality is delivered via a Windows Driver Kit (WDK) add-on pack to Visual Studio
Copies of Visual Studio “11” Ultimate and the WDK are on the USB stick you received with your conference materials

7. Driver development in Visual Studio “11”
Component layout
WDK (Visual Studio add-on)
Driver analysis tools
Driver testing and deployment tools
Online
VS driver toolbar (build, package, sign)
Kernel debugger (engine and UI)
Redistributables (Developer portal)
VS driver templates
Kernel-mode headers/libs
Samples (Code gallery)
Documents (MSDN)
Visual Studio “11” Ultimate
Windows SDK
Visual Studio Core

8. Getting started Get going quickly Write less code
New Visual Studio templates provided for networking, storage, printing, WDF (KMDF and UMDF) and WDM drivers
New tool automates migration of existing Windows 7 driver projects
Write less code
The Windows Driver Framework (WDF) has new support for power management, kernel-mode DMA and user-mode hardware access

9. Create, build, package, and sign a driver in Visual Studio

10. Driving quality “upstream” Tools
Compiler enhancements ease driver development
C++ is a “first class citizen” for creating drivers
New “/kernel” switch catches illegal driver code at compile time
Integrated analysis tools find bugs early
Static Driver Verifier (SDV)
Code Analysis (was PREfast/PFD)

12. Simplifying common tasks Scenario focus
“Easily run tests” automates build-debug cycle for developers
Automated driver build, packaging, signing and deployment
Test library pre-loaded with “Device Fundamentals” tests
Remote machine provisioning and integrated kernel debugging
“Easily write tests” simplifies creation of new driver tests
Create new driver tests with Visual Studio templates

13. Remote driver deployment, testing and debugging

14. Next steps Timing Visual Studio in “build labs”
Get started now with driver development using Visual Studio!
Visual Studio “Go Live” licensing takes effect at beta
Visual Studio in “build labs”
Version-control tool scenarios will be documented at beta
Operating system targeting
Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2008 (SP2 and R2) are supported

15. Recap Find defects early
Learn more at Session #239, “Moving driver quality upstream with WDK Driver Verification and Test Tools”

16. Windows and Visual Studio are collaborating to create a world-class environment for driver development.

17. Visual Studio licensing
Visual Studio is licensed per-user, not per-installation
MSDN licensees receive all versions of Visual Studio shipped while their subscription is active
More information for enterprises here
Start-ups and smaller businesses may be eligible for BizSpark or the Microsoft Partner Network (MPN)
Academic institutions (including students) can take advantage of DreamSpark
