Summary
This completes the implementation of an initial Windows 2000 device driver. Granted, this Minimal driver is kernel-mode only. Converting it to a WDM driver must wait until chapter 9. Nevertheless, tools to build and install a driver are now ready to go. Additionally, the beginning structure of the kernel-mode device driver is forming.
The next chapter discusses the Dispatch routines necessary to make the driver useful. Read, Write, and I/O Control functions are implemented. Coding shown in the next chapter builds upon the minimal driver built in this chapter.
