Re: Driver development

i would highly suggest that you use KMDF for this project. it has an
implementation for a continuous reader built in. i would look at the
osrusbfx2 sample for how to use thsi functionality. you can easily order
this board from OSR (http://www.osr.com)

First is at all possible take a class, there are a number of good firms
in
training, many have been discussed in this forum. You have not said the
type of device, i.e. USB, PCI, etc that you have, or the OS'es that you
intend to run on. I would highly recomend using the new KMDF framework
from
Micorosoft see http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/driver/wdf/KMDF.mspx.

This is not a small project to jump in on, you might want to take a look
at
the paper "Getting Started with the Windows Driver Development
Environment"
at http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/driver/foundation/DrvDev_Intro.mspx of
course I am biased.
