Windows Driver Development Services

Order Windows device driver development for all Microsoft operating systems, including Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows Server 2022, and older versions. We can also create virtual device drivers and enhance the functionality of standard drivers to ensure the proper work of your device.

What we do

To function properly, custom devices need special software. Driver development is required when you want an OS to work with a non-standard periphery. The Integra team can create kernel and user-mode drivers for web cameras, USB devices, computer mouse devices, keyboards, audio/video input/output devices, and other custom hardware. We also handle migration from Windows to Android, macOS, Linux, and other operating systems. With in-depth expertise in C/C++ and the Windows driver development kit, our team can create excellent products meeting industry standards.

Peripheral Drivers Development

Peripheral equipment requires the development of device drivers. The team uses the C language and the Windows Development Kit (WDK) compiler for kernel-mode drivers and C++ for user-mode drivers.

Virtual Device Driver Development

This type of software emulates hardware devices. These drivers run as part of the Windows virtual machine manager (VMM). Some examples of the virtual device drivers we build are virtual network adapters, virtual DVD/CD drivers, virtual webcam drivers, virtual disk devices, etc.

Windows Service Development

In addition to Windows driver development, our team can create Windows services. Such applications run in the background. For example, this can be an application for monitoring performance data. System services usually start when the machine is booted.

1

We get acquainted with the concept of the future solution and sign a non-disclosure agreement. The team gathers project requirements, studies relevant documents, and analyzes rival products on the market. At this phase, a preliminary project evaluation is made.

2

We contact the customer to confirm the project requirements. Then we create a technical specification and set a budget and deadlines.

3

We make the final evaluation of the project, make up a team, and schedule its workload.

4

We sign a contract for custom Windows driver development. The team gets to work.

5

We select libraries, languages, and tools and start development, factoring in device features and hardware configuration. The team identifies and eliminates bugs and optimizes the performance of the software. Customers receive daily reports on the progress. If necessary, the plan can be amended.

6

The team tests all the software functions. We check its performance under corresponding operating conditions and run some tests required for product certification. If necessary, the product is then modified.

7

After the tests, we finalize the necessary documentation. We can prepare manuals if the product is designed for in-house use.

8

When the development process is finished, customers can enjoy a free warranty period. During this time, the team will fix any bugs and defects in the product.

Frequently Asked Questions

Read this information to better understand Windows device driver development.

What do I get when the project is finished?

Upon project completion, the customer receives a fully functional software product, source codes, and detailed technical documentation. The customer will receive all the necessary instructions on how to use the product. We will also answer any questions and provide training if necessary.

What about intellectual property rights?

The cession of intellectual property rights is legislated in our contracts. We also sign a non-disclosure agreement to protect any sensitive information. We will mention your project on our website and other platforms only with your permission.

What technologies do you use for Windows driver development?

We apply the following tools and technologies:

  • WDK/DDK – a proper Driver Development SDK provided by Microsoft.
  • KMDF – Kernel Mode Driver Framework for creating kernel-mode drivers. UMDF – User Mode Driver Framework for creating user-mode drivers. These drivers have limitations compared to KMDF/WDM drivers. In most cases, you would need to build a kernel counterpart as well.
  • Visual Studio – integrated development environment (IDE).
  • VisualDDK – a plugin for Visual Studio that allows for developing and debugging drivers directly from Visual Studio.

Can I write part of my driver to run in user mode and part in kernel mode?

Yes, you can. If you split a driver into two parts, one part will be able to access some kernel-mode resources or features, and the other part will run in user mode and receive I/O requests from the kernel-mode driver.

What is meant by driver certification?

Windows devices use digital signatures upon installation. This is done to verify the integrity of driver packages and the identity of the software publisher. Also, according to the kernel-mode code signing policy for 64-bit versions of Windows 8 and later versions of Windows, a kernel-mode driver must be signed with Microsoft's certificate or a certificate of a Microsoft partner for the driver to load.

What Windows versions do you create drivers for?

We develop drivers for the most common Windows versions, including Windows 8, 8.1, 10, and 11, as well as Windows Server 2022. We can also provide driver development for older versions if you need it, but they are no longer supported by Microsoft.

What input data do you need to develop a Windows driver for my device?

For your Windows device driver development, you will need to provide us with detailed specifications or data sheets of the hardware for this device.

Can you help me with migration from Windows 7 to Windows 10 or 11?

Sure. We can help you move from older versions of the Windows OS and provide Windows 10 or Windows 11 driver development.

Do you test custom software?

Yes, we do! That’s part of our Windows driver development services. Our quality assurance department uses manual and automated testing methods to check the software we develop so engineers can fix issues before the product is released.

Can you guarantee the quality of the product?

We pay great attention to the quality of our work. The customer receives fully functional software and a detailed user manual. After finishing the project, we provide a free warranty period, during which the team will eliminate any discovered bugs. During the post-warranty period, we can also provide advice on possible modernization and modification of your product.

What is the minimum completion time?

The timing of a project largely depends on its specifics, complexity, scale, choice of components, and logistics. For example, a project audit can take 1-2 months, while AI-based software development usually lasts much longer. We always set realistic deadlines when preparing the spec and stick to the schedule at all project stages.

Who are your customers?

We develop projects for private enterprises and public organizations: small, medium, and large businesses, mining and manufacturing enterprises, startups, healthcare organizations, and enterprises engaged in other industries.
