“KRFTech has released today version 4.14 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 KernelAgent,
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 4.14 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 Galileo, V3, AMCC and Altera (with PLDA PCI
Core).”
