Yes the latest version of KMDF (1.9) is compatible with Windows 2000 and beyond.
All KMDF driver packages should include MS provided redistributalbe
coinstaller. This coinstaller installs the KMDF runtime on the target machine
as needed.
Please read this presentation to learn more about the coinstaller.

Hi Eliyas,
Just another question. Is KMDF driver supported by default in WinXP, Vista and
Windows 7? Or do we need to install some service pack or components (eg. .NET
framework needed for .NET) before KMDF driver can be used? What happen when the
KMDF driver is installed in an OS that does not have all the necessary
components required?
Thanks

Does anybody know whether AVSTREAM support selective suspend?

Hi, Eliyas,
Would you say it is true that if you want to use the full capabilities of WDF
using a two driver model is best? I say this because your slide 30 shows that
many important features of WDF cannot be used in a single driver model.
In the past I have written code such that a single AVStream driver could be
used with both an underlying PCI bus or a USB bus. I used an underlying WDF
or WDM driver to deal with the buffer transfer between the bus/card and host
memory...then, I exposed a device interface that an AVStream driver used to
expose the board as an AVStram device.
In this way, I get full use of WDF for all the hardware stuff, but I only have
to write the code that exposes the card to AVStream one time. If I want to add
another bus type, then I can just write another underlying WDF driver for that
bus and reuse the same AVStream layer without modification.

Yes it's possible to write AVStream driver with KMDF. You don't need to have a
filter driver. Please go through this presentation and let me know if you have
question. Using KMDF to interface with the USB stack is the best way of doing
it. Most NDIS miniport drivers for USB drivers are written using KMDF.

This model has been supported from version 1.0. Latest WDF version that was
release with Win7 is 1.9 and you should use that.

Hi,
While this is possible and would work, I think it would be something that would
be considered as one of the last resort if there is no other way and the change
must be made. This is something like asking Microsoft to split their
usbaudio.sys driver, which is an AVStream driver, into 2 drivers so that it is
WDF compilant and fulfill WLP requirement.
I would hope that there should be some method that is less painful for those
who have an existing AVStream driver that communicate with a usb device. (Or
that the WLP requirement does not apply to usb drivers that are using AVStream
framework)

You would write two drivers...a lower wdf driver that talks directly to the
hardware as a generic wdf driver. Then you install an upper filter driver over
the wdf driver that exposes the device as an avstream driver. Avstream driver
then sends and receives data from the lower driver.

Subject: [wdmaudiodev] AVStream and WDF
Hi,
Is it possible to write an AVStream driver using WDF? I posted this questions a
few years back and the answer was no.
There were some code snippets on using AVStream with WDF in the Winhec 2008
presentation, and there is also some new WLP requirements for USB drivers to be
WDF compilant. So does this mean that it is now possible to use AVStream with
WDF (since many usb audio/video device would be using AVStream driver)? If this
is true, is there any info on what is the minimum KMDF version that can support
this, and any info on what can and what cannot be done with WDF for AVStream
would be appreciated.
Thanks
KS
