Subject: New Linux Device Driver Product


WinDriver Linux Version 4.20 released.
KRFTech has released version 4.20 of WinDriver for Linux. WinDriver Linux
enables developers to access their hardware directly from their application
without having to write a device driver. 
Using the robust WinDriver API and the powerful KernelModule, all a developer
has to do to access his hardware under Linux is to include the WinDriver API
library into his user mode application code. WinDriver Linux eliminates the
need to learn the Linux internals and its kernel API. As all code writing is
done in the user mode, development time is drastically reduced from 2-3 months
to just a few days. 
Version 4.20 includes improved interrupt handling, improved Linux kernel
compatibility (including open source for the kernel dependant code - for better
handling the numerous Linux versions available), and better handling of DMA
operations. WinDriver Linux also includes ready made cross platform drivers for
all the PLX IO devices, as well as for Altera, QuickLogic, Galileo, V3 and
AMCC.

WinDriver Linux is fully compatible to all other WinDriver versions, i.e. -
driver code created on one of the supported platforms will run on any other
platform that WinDriver supports (Currently - Win 95, 98, NT4, NT2000, CE,
Linux, Solaris, OS/2 and VxWorks). Using WinDriver, a developer can maintain
the same code base between different operating systems. This makes WinDriver a
revolutionary cross platform device driver development toolkit.
