From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. In computing, a device driver or software driver is a computer program allowing higher-level computer programs to interact with a hardware device. A driver typically communicates with the device through the computer bus or communications subsystem to which the hardware connects. When a calling program invokes a routine in the driver, the driver issues commands to the device. Once the device sends data back to the driver, the driver may invoke routines in the original calling program. Drivers are hardware-dependent and operating-system-specific. They usually provide the interrupt handling required for any necessary asynchronous time-dependent hardware interface. PurposeA device driver simplifies programming by acting as a translator between a hardware device and the applications or operating systems that use it. Programmers can write the higher-level application code independently of whatever specific hardware device it will ultimately control, because code and device can interface in a standard way, regardless of the software superstructure or of underlying hardware. Every version of a device, such as a printer, requires its own hardware-specific specialized commands. In contrast, most applications utilize devices (such as a file to a printer) by means of high-level device-generic commands such as PRINTLN (print a line). The device-driver accepts these generic high-level commands and breaks them into a series of low-level device-specific commands as required by the device being driven. Furthermore, drivers can provide a level of security as they can run in kernel-mode, thereby protecting the operating system from applications running in user-mode. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License Where can a novice find help and resources to build a device driver? Q. I want to build a device driver for a USB device. How can I do this? I have no programming experience. Asked by Sloe3D - Thu Aug 17 21:18:07 2006 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. I'm going to assume that you'd like to build a device driver for Windows XP. (Note that device drivers can be written for any operating system). To get started, you'll need to get a copy of the WIndows Driver Development Kit from Microsoft. (See the link below for more info). If you're interested in becoming a programmer, I recommend joining MSDN. Even if you move on to other operating systems, it's a great resource for programmers both new and old. Good luck!

Q. I tried downloading the device driver updaters and was unable to locate the correct one. My fiancee is deployed and would like to communicate with him and talk to him over this device with our 3 month old son. I am using a HP pavilion dv9000 laptop with windows vista... please help! Asked by jennifer - Mon Aug 17 15:29:36 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. The ezonics site no longer exists so it looks like they make have gone out of business. The camera (chipset) is actually manufactured by Sunplus model SPCA561A. Ezonics then rebranded and sold it under their own label. I haven't been able to find anything yet to match this for Vista, but with this info maybe someone else can help out. < Answered by CheesenBranston - Mon Aug 17 16:41:22 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "device driver"
