Setting the attributes for a new device-driver module

The following information describes how to set the attributes for a new
device-driver module without using an existing module as a template. If you want
to set the attributes for a new module to match the attributes of an existing
module, see “Setting the attributes based on an existing device-driver module” on
page 163.

To set the attributes for a new device-driver module, do the following:

1.

Open the repository where you want the new device-driver module to reside.

2.

If your repository contains folders, navigate to the folder where you want the
new device-driver module to reside.

3.

From the Main Window menu bar, click Insert and then click Device Driver....
The New Module Wizard opens.

4.

Click Next.

5.

Verify that the Device Driver radio button is selected, and then click Next.

6.

In the Name field, type a name that you want to use to identify this module.
Be as specific as possible. This name will be the name that appears in the
repository.

7.

Click the No radio button to indicate that this module is not a container.

8.

Click Next.

9.

Click Next without selecting any of the modules that are listed.

10.

Click Finish. The New Module Wizard closes and the Device Driver window
for the new module opens.

11.

In the General tab, do the following:
a.

In the Version field, type the full version of the device driver.

b.

In the Family field, use the drop-down menu to select the type of device
for which this device driver is designed.

c.

If you want to assign a password to this module, type an encryption key in
the “Encryption key for the password” field.

Note:

A password helps prevent the module from being unpacked by any
process other than an ImageUltra Builder process. When you assign
an encryption key, the ImageUltra Builder program assigns a
password to the module. Encryption keys can be up to 64 characters
long using any combination of alpha-numeric characters. Symbols
are not supported.

d.

In the Comments field, type any comments you want kept with the
module.

12.

In the OS/Languages tab, do the following:
a.

In the left pane, put a check mark next to each language for which this
device driver will be used. For example, you might choose to use an
English device-driver module with a different language operating system
module.

b.

In the right pane, put a check mark next to the operating system with
which the device-driver module will be used. For example, if the device
driver can be used by several Windows operating systems, check the
appropriate boxes. If the device driver is specific to one operating system,
check only the operating system that applies.

13.

In the Source tab, do the following:
