Windows CE 6.0 Stream Driver

Abstract Developing device drivers is one of the most difficult tasks to develop or port operating systems. A device driver needs to be described according to the target device and OS. A major design goal in operating system developments is stability and one of the challenges of this stability is device drivers. Device drivers are more likely to crash the operating system for two reasons on one side they typically run in kernel mode and not as easily be confined as the normal application programs and on the other hand side many drivers are built by independent equipment manufactures. This paper proposes Windows CE 6.0 support system for stream driver development.
