Preparing
source
files
for
a
device-driver
module
Device
drivers
must
use
the
standard
Microsoft
Plug-n-Play
.INF
installation
method,
which
is
usually
unattended
in
nature.
The
driver
itself
must
be
certified
by
the
Microsoft
Windows
Hardware
Qualification
Lab
(WHQL)
and
signed.
Failure
to
use
signed,
WHQL-certified
device
drivers
will
result
in
interruptions
during
the
installation
process
by
Windows-generated
information
messages,
which
require
user
interaction
to
bypass.
Adding
mini-applications
The
use
of
mini-applications
is
optional.
Mini-applications
are
useful
for
creating
special
folders,
cleaning
up
registry
entries,
or
performing
any
other
service
related
to
the
device-driver
being
installed.
The
content
and
format
of
a
mini-application
is
entirely
up
to
you.
You
are
limited
to
running
one
mini-application
before
the
device
driver
is
installed
and
one
mini-application
after
the
device
driver
is
installed.
The
only
requirement
related
to
the
preparation
of
mini-applications
is
that
you
must
copy
all
of
the
mini-application
files
into
the
root
folder
of
your
device-driver
source
files.
Requirements
for
preparing
device-driver
files
for
modules
The
following
are
the
only
requirements
for
preparing
the
device-driver
source
files
to
be
made
into
a
module:
v
The
device
driver
must
be
in
a
ready-to-install
format.
It
cannot
require
an
unpacking
process.
v
The
device-driver
files
must
be
placed
in
a
dedicated
folder
on
a
drive
that
is
accessible
by
the
ImageUltra
Builder
console.
v
The
device-driver
folder
structure
must
be
maintained.
When
the
source
files
meet
these
requirements,
you
can
set
the
attributes
for
the
new
device-driver
module.
