Your host and target computers are configured for kernel debugging.Your target computer is running Windows Vista or a later version of Windows.You can get the latest version from the WDK or you can Download and Install Debugging Tools for Windows. Your host computer has the latest version of debugging tools for Windows.To get the latest version of the WDK, see Download the Windows Driver Kit (WDK). The kit include headers, libraries, tools, documentation, and the debugging tools required to develop, build, and debug a KMDF driver. Your host computer has the latest Windows Driver Kit (WDK) for Windows 8.Your host computer hosts your development environment and has Visual Studio Professional 2019.

The target computer has the kernel-mode driver that you want to debug.īefore you begin, make sure that you meet the following requirements: A target computer running Windows Vista or a later version of Windows.The host computer is your development environment, where you write and debug your driver. A host computer running Windows 7 or a later version of the Windows operating system.Prerequisitesįor developing, debugging, and installing a kernel-mode driver, you need two computers: After building and installing the client driver, you'll view the client driver in Device Manager and view the driver output in a debugger.įor an explanation about the source code generated by the template, see Understanding the KMDF template code for a USB client driver. In this topic you'll use the USB Kernel-Mode Driver template provided with Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2019 to write a simple kernel-mode driver framework (KMDF)-based client driver.
