Driver development for 6221 card in RTX & VC++

Hello All,
For my application, I need to use NI-6221 card in RTX (Adrence/Venturcom) and VC++ environment. Since NI provides RTX support only in LabVIEW environment, It was informed that we need to write a register level program.
I have got some examples (for register level program) from NI website (MHDDK) which when I try to compile, it throws an error looking for some RTX functions.
1. I am using RTX v6.0 for development. Is there something else i need to install to get those RTX functions. What is the procedure that i should follow to compile the examples?
2. In my application, I have the register level program for NI-6013 (E-Series) card in RTX environment. Is the acquiring procedure same for both E-series and M-series cards?
3. I also need the base address for accessing the cards memory. Is there any document that gives the details of the base address and other offset addresses?
Any information on this regard will be of great help to me.
Thanks,
Ashok kumar A.

THE ANSWER IS THAT YES YOU CAN DO THIS IN NI-VISA!
Some have said that you need a kernel driver. This is partially true in that a PXI or PCI card (they are the same as viewed by the OS) must have a kernel driver. NI-VISA provides one for you.
You said that you do not have a manufacturer ID. This is a requirement of all PCI cards and no kind of driver will work until the card has one. Once you have this ID, run the VISA PXI Driver Development Wizard and it will generate an INF for you for all supported NI-VISA environments that support PXI/PCI. Read the instructions in the appropriate INF file for how to install it into the system so that the OS will attach NI-VISA to your device. It's really simple. NI-VISA supports PXI/PCI on Windows 95, 98, ME, NT
4, 2000, XP, and LabVIEW RT.
Some have said that MAX will just show you all PXI/PCI devices in your system. Your device will not show up until NI-VISA can see it, and that won't happen until you generate an INF as described above.
Since the INF file associates NI-VISA itself to your card, the ADE you use does not matter. NI-VISA supports PXI/PCI in LabVIEW, CVI, MSVC, Visual Basic, or any other ADE that normally works with VISA.
NI-VISA works well even with more advanced devices because we support all types of register accesses (config, I/O, memory) as well as interrupt handling. Just look at the visa.h that NI ships in the VXIpnp directory. If you are using C/C++, make sure you define NIVISA_PXI before including visa.h. If you use LabVIEW, you need to use the address space numbers as defined in visa.h.
Good luck.

Driver development for custom PCI card

Hi friends,
I've a PCI card developed in-house. How to prepare a driver for the same in LabVIEW? Can I develop drivers in VISA? I don't have a manufacture id. Is there any other method to develop a driver for PCI card? Once developed, can I use them for other platforms like VC++? My OS is Windows 9X/NT & 2000. I need a driver to use for all these. Lot of querries! hope I made it clear.

Creative in the dock over driver issues for older cards and upsetting consumers please read!

To Who this may concern at TOP LEVEL AT Creative's Board It's come to my attention to a very serious issue From Creative,and the story starts from here.
I have just required the Audigy 2 ZS Sound Card so looking to install the latest drivers from CREATIVE'S UK WEBSITE. So I look into the date which is 9/4/200 on Creative's website. However I did abit more investigating into the issues from other consumer's from passed half soaked drivers that Creative are supposed to put right with their half asleep development team(what a joke!!).
AS I did more research? on this issue on the forums and hardware websites, it came across to my attention on a Brazilian I. T. Expert called Daniel Kawakami (surprisesurprise and I don't suppose Creative know anything about him other than trying to kick him the balls for his work to help others with their sound cards very good PR work Creative well done!!!!).So armed with all this information and believe me I have gone into alot of reading in the forums about the issues,and yes Creative Board Of Directors you are entitled to your Copy Rights,for now !!!
So I find out more about this super hero Daniel Kawakami? to Creative's miss givings to put right the Drivers for Consumers let down by Creative, I came across one of the driver updates for the Audigy 2 ZS Sound Card done by Daniel Kawakami, and Bingo most consumer's now have a working drivers by him.
So for all the hard work and precious time this Daniel Kawakami has done for Creative Consumers(including me) YOU SELFISH CREATIVE BOARD OF DIRECTOR'S go and kick him the face, so I will say this to you what about his rights as a creative product consumer? ,his driver copy rights and on top that his right to put things right that your team cannot put right in the first place. This is the EXACT PEOPLE WE NEED IN THIS HIGHLY COMPLICATED IT INDUSTRY, so what do you do you try and do, you bin him.
So Creative I am going to ask some questions and I EXPECT YOU TO ANSWER THEM with me as a CONSUMER OF YOUR PRODUCTS(customer is King not you!!)
1. The drivers you realised on the 9th April 200 are working drivers for the Audigy 2 zs for windows 7 ultimate.
2. So how can you convince me that they are working?
3. At the moment I can only trust Daniel Kawakami's? working drivers, since he has had over whelming praise for his work.What makes me think I can trust you with your drivers.
4. Your Drivers came out on the 9/4/200, Daniel Kawakami's Drivers came out on 9/4/200 its too close a call,since your development Team are too lazy to put things right, how can you convince me that you did not copy his Drivers into your download Driver website(I would not be surprised if you did, as it would certainly be a cost cutting exercise ,and taking away his copy rights for all the work he has done for nothing!!!)
5. Are you going to treat customer and consumers better service and support? in the Future,and that includes me,and 3rd party developers like Daniel Kawakami .
The concussion to all of this, there are lessons to be learned by you Creative for your mis givings and the treatment of customers passed and present and especially the appalling treatment of Daniel Kawakami ,this guy deserves far better for his talent. I Have one message for the President Of Creative ,don't you EVER think you can scare me as a customer and also as Registered? disabled deaf person ,and for that reason I have far more powers you will ever have. For what I have read I am so angry and dismayed when someone like Daniel Kawakami is only trying help others ,but to be treated in this way.
It is only right for me to post this ,because You Creative have hurt? alot people and that includes me. I look forward to the comments and p.m.(if I get any) And Daniel Kawakami? I hope you do read this and all the best for the future ,keep doing what you do ,and once again Creative you should be holding your heads in Shame.
Regards Jonoace U.k.

!!! Creative jamais vai responder.
At seria justo se Creative viesse a publico falar de sua incapacidade e que at onde as placas Audigy funcionariam em Vista e ?7.
Mas por?incompet?ncia, pois nem suas novas placas funcionam direito, se era para vender est? mal.
Problemas de memoria superior a 4 gb e tantos outros que Creative no tem respostas;
Drivers de Daniel e Pax so alternativas, mas que tambm tem muitas limitaes.
Sinceramente acho que esta na hora de Creative vir a publico fazer um relato srio, e descrever claramente as limitaes de sua placas colocando um ponto final emexpectativas frustraes eeng dos.
Chega a ser vergonhoso que placas onboard como realtek funcionem melhor que placas Creative;
Realmente, antes era um sonho e orgulho possuir um produto CREATIVE, tornou-se um pesadelo e uma vergonha.
Mas enfim o que fazer, apenas esperar um momento de honestidade por parte de Creative.
Flavio Kern - Audigy 2 ZS
Creative will never respond. So it would be fair if Creative would publish his inability to speak and that even where the plates Audigy would work in Vista and 7. But by incompetence, since neither her new adapter works right, if it was to sell is poorly. Problems of memory above 4 gb, and so many others that Creative does not have answers; Daniel and Pax Drivers are alternati'ves, but which also has many limitations. I honestly think this time Creative come publico do a serious story, and describe clearly the limitations of your cards by putting an end-point on expectations, frustrations and forgeries. It is shameful that onboard realtek cards like that boards Creative work better; Actually, before it was a dream and pride have a CREATIVE product, became a nightmare and a shame. But anyway what to do, just wait a moment of honesty from Creative.

Driver development for TI device

Hello Microsoft support team,
I am currently developing WDK driver for PCI device. I am beginner in driver development and I found a KMDF WDK driver project for generic PCI device (PLX9x5x PCI Driver) from your website. However, in my attempt to adapt this driver for my PCI device, which
is a TI TMS320c6657 DSP evaluation board, I get stuck into some problems. My objective is to send data from PC (Root complex) via DMA transfer on PCIe interface to the the DSP evaluation board (End Point) for signal processing. And I am not able to match the
sample PCI driver with my device. I am seeking a starting guide on how I modify the the generic driver to suit my specific PCI device.
Thanks.
With regards,
Alemayehu

I know of no guide to do this. What I recommend is you walk the driver, starting with DriverEntry. By walk the driver, I mean for each function, review its purpose in the WDK documentation, and look at what the sample does. Cleanup the
function to reflect the needs of your device, then go on to the functions that call references.
Besides the PCI driver sample, take a look at the minimum Toaster function driver, this is a good sample with most functions empty that you can use to get going. As you cleanup run the compiler with /W4 and Code Analysis on the code to catch mistakes.
For the code analysis change the options to enable all the rules.

X11 driver development for Solaris 8/9

Hello,
is there a way to develop a X11 graphic driver for the Solaris 8 or 9 OP.
The SUNWxwddk package is for Solaris 2.6 and some possible features
are missing (64Bit/GL/...). Will the SUNWxwddk package be updated? Or
do I have to use the sources from X.org and build my own X11 server?
Thanks for your help.

Regards, Thomas ThorbergerI'm interested in the answer to this as well. There is a porting kit for XFree86 devices,
but it is only for Solaris x86. I'm interested in building framebuffers that will work on

Graphics Driver update for TravelMateP653-M not available?

I have an Intel(r) HD Graphics 4000, and I need to update it but everytime I download from Intel directly it says 'you have a modified version please ask your equipment manufacturer for updated drivers'. I need the update to continue to play a few games, but no matter what I do or where I go I can't seem to find current graphic card updates that will actually install. The website has no driver downloads for graphics cards on this model and it's getting a bit frustrating, does anyone have a solution?

prior to install Intel VGA drivers, you need to uninstall the Acer Intel VGA drivers. you can check if they are available to uninstall on Programs and features or going to Device manager, click on Display adapters, right click on Intel VGA and choose to uninstall (if it asks about uninstall software, say OK to this option).Once done, you can install the Intel drivers from Intel website.

Hi! ASIC LabRat,
I agree with your comment. IVI drivers take too much overhead and the executing speed can be very slow compared to the drivers developed using VISA platform. The previous link sent by the NI engineer was very old (2001) and doesn't really help you at all.
Please take a look at this one instead: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/4713.

Driver issues for Radeon HD 6750M switchable graphic card

Hello guys, took time for me to decide wether to join forums like this just to get real help coz goggle doesn't show any solution with my issue. i was able to update my video card with the old raptr app from amd and allowed me to maximize the feature of my laptop. after format i can't install these drivers "sp52929 & sp61216" for the said graphic card and the new and updated raptr is not somehow working. i get this error "The contents of the file cannot be unpacked. the executable you are attempting to run has been corrupted. please obtain another copy of the file, verify its integrity and try again" (monitored the download and its not corrupted or anything) or using the driver from amd official site (tried different versions like amd-catalyst-omega-14.12-with-dotnet45-win7-64bit, AMD-Catalyst-HDMI-Hotfix-Win8.1-Win7-Dec10 etc.), the installation is fine but it's not functioning and this is the error i get "no amd graphics driver is installed or the amd driver is not functioning properly. please install the amd driver appropriate for your amd hardware" and "you do not have the compatible vga hardware to driver" during installation it reverts my resolution back to 800x600 as if it conflicts with the Intel HD Graphics Family. tried uninstalling intel hd graphics family first and install the radeon but it seems that the driver itself really is the problem. does anyone here experiencing the same? or someone here who can tell me what's really going on? thanks i advance Referrence: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Display-and-Video/latest-driver-for-amd-graphic-card-not-working/m-p/5150764#M113344

Can I use only one computer for driver development?

Hi! I'm newbie in driver development and now is first day when I make the acquaintance of driver development. There is the next phrase in MSDN in
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/hh706187(v=vs.85).aspx
: "For developing, debugging, and installing a kernel-mode driver, you need two computers". But I unfortunately have only one computer and I have to develop the USB Kernel Mode driver as technical assignment for admission to the job.
My computer is under Windows 7 OS and already has standard USB driver. I have Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate and WDK 8.1 Update on my computer. Can I use only one computer for driver development and debugging or not?

no, not really, you need two. you can use a VM as the machine under test though.

Are there any sound cards with best driver support for Arch?

I was wondering if there are any sound cards that have the best driver support for ArchLinux? I currently own a Creative Labs X-FI Platinum Edition. The main reason I like the Platinum is that has an interface you can plug MIDI and Audio ports into. It seems to me, however, that Creative is the worst company to support Linux drivers. If anyone has any opinions, please feel free to comment. According to all my research, ALSA sound drivers are the most supportive for sound. Am I also correct in this assumption?

yeah, creative sucks. go with m-audio. they support linux unlike creative.

Can't find recent driver for graphic card (display) cyberaladdin trident

I can't find recent driver for graphic card (display) cyberaladdin trident.
The game play with game Warcraft III.
I downloaded directX 9
I managed to install the game but I can't play it.
My display card is Trident Cyberaladdin-T. The game producer told me it is compatible. I tried to find drivers but I haven't find anything efficient. On toshiba site there a driver but quite old (previous to the date I bought the computer...)
I don(t knox what to do and my son is very disappointed because he can't play with this new game.
Thanks for your quick answer.

Hi,
At first it would be interesting to know for which Operating System your need this driver ? ;)
Well this Chipset Trident CyberALADDiN-T ( called Napa2T ) was build in three Notebook Types of Toshiba.
The Satellite 6000, TE2000 and the Satellite 6050. ( Driverversion all with Version 5.01.2527.0128 )
Normally the drivers you find on the manufacturer Pages are not the actual drivers. They only update the drivers if there are known problems.
So the only chance for you is to look threw the internet and look if someone else has used this graphic chip,and delivers are newer driver than Toshiba.
Sorry for the answer, but I had same problem with my Machine, but found a newer driver revision on another manufacturer page.
bye
