Details of the issue with Porting WinXP (plug & play camera driver) to Win 7 issue:
1. The driver was a working and tested driver for WinXP.
2. The driver is recompiled for Win7 using Windows driver kit (WinDDK 7600.16385.1) and a .sys file is generated, when we tried to load it
It fails loading and blue screen error appears.
3. Loading of the driver in Win 7 takes more time than in WinXP.
4. The size of the .sys file generated when compiled for WinXP is 12 MB where as when compiled for Win 7 it is 100k.
5. While loading the driver in Win 7 PC multiple IRP message is received “IRP_MN_QUERY_DEVICE_RELATIONS”, “IRP_MN_QUERY_CAPABILITIES”
For a long time before blue screen appears Where in the same is not observed for WinXP.
The .inf file for the driver is attached for your reference.
The entry point for the driver architecture is as :
NTSTATUS
DriverEntry(
__in PDRIVER_OBJECT DriverObject,
__in PUNICODE_STRING RegistryPath
)
{
NTSTATUS ntStatus = STATUS_SUCCESS;
PDEVICE_OBJECT deviceObject = NULL;
/* Initialize the driver object with this driver's entry points*/
DriverObject->DriverExtension->AddDevice = CMOSAddDevice;
DriverObject->MajorFunction[IRP_MJ_CREATE] = CMOSCreateDevice;
DriverObject->MajorFunction[IRP_MJ_CLOSE] = CMOSCloseDevice;
DriverObject->MajorFunction[IRP_MJ_DEVICE_CONTROL] = CMOSDeviceControl;
DriverObject->DriverUnload = CMOSUnloadDriver;
DriverObject->MajorFunction[IRP_MJ_PNP] = CMOSDispatchPnp;
DriverObject->MajorFunction[IRP_MJ_POWER] = CMOSDispatchPower;
DriverObject->MajorFunction[IRP_MJ_SYSTEM_CONTROL] = CMOSDispatchSystemControl;
return ntStatus;
}
Blue screen appears as it tries to add the device “CMOSAddDevice”.
