Windows vs. Linux
The SI-DDK-TI-WIN is used to create WDF drivers (SYS files) using the Windows Driver Foundation, thus making it possible for a single application to run under all Windows 32/64 bit versions. For convenience, compiled and ‘ready to go’ drivers and application example binaries are already included. In the case you want to build the binaries from the source code, you will need the WinXP/Vista/7/8 DDK, along with the associated Microsoft development environments.

The SI-DDK-TI-LNX is GPL compliant source code used to create Linux applications and drivers (files in the form of modules), using the integrated C/C++ development environment included with all Linux versions.

Function Support:

• DM6467/648 devices only: support for COFF load and bus master using the onchip DMA engine.
• Access to the DM6467/648/6437/642 as a target device.
• Access to the DM6467/648/6437/642’s registers and configuration space memory.
• Event based application Call-Back routines.
• Common API for both Windows and Linux 32/64 bit environments.
• Multiple board support, limited only by available slots on system motherboard/backplane.
• Support for Windows Plug’n’Play features.

The SI-DDK-TI packages include:

• Projects and related source code for building 32/64bit kernel mode drivers.
• Projects and related source code for building a 32/64bit command line executable or a DLL for Windows or a shared object for Linux.
• Simple documentation describing the step by step process used to build the driver.
• 30 day limited technical support over the phone, extended e-mail support.
• Royalty-free unlimited license to distribute binaries built with the SI-DDK-TI.
• SI-DDK-TI-WIN only: compiled and ‘ready to go’ 32/64 bit binaries.
