A bug since version 5.0 caused DriverWizard to handle interrupts without implementing all the parameters assigned by the user; this affected level sensitive interrupt handling and data transfer operation type definition.Execution method of interrupts transfer commands was improved.

• Windows — GeneralFixed a dependency problem betweenwindrvr.sysandwdpnp.sys. A bug since version 5.0.3 causedwindrvrto return error code 37 (STATUS_INTERNAL_ERROR) ifwdpnp.syswas loaded beforewindrvr.sys/vxd. Now, the resource management is handled bywdpnp.sysinstead ofwindrvr.sys/vxdand ifwindrvr.sys/vxdis loaded afterwdpnp.sys, it will initiate the transfer of the card resources instead ofwdpnp.sys.Moreover, nowwdpnp.sysdoes not assume thatwindrvr.sysis loaded and the two files open a communication path between them only to perform short operations, and then close it. This allows eliminating the dependency between the files and results in an improved stability and robustness.Fixed the methodwdpnp.sysretrieves the bus number of PCI devices. It now retrieves the bus number by directly inquiring the PCI devices, instead of inquiring the Windows operating system, since the operating system always returns 0.Fixed IDE to invoke combo box behavior on Windows platforms. The bug caused the default IDE to invoke to be “none”. Now IDE to invoke is with accordance to the IDE chosen by the user to generate project makefiles for; the default IDE to invoke is MS Visual C++ 6.0.
• Fixed a dependency problem betweenwindrvr.sysandwdpnp.sys. A bug since version 5.0.3 causedwindrvrto return error code 37 (STATUS_INTERNAL_ERROR) ifwdpnp.syswas loaded beforewindrvr.sys/vxd. Now, the resource management is handled bywdpnp.sysinstead ofwindrvr.sys/vxdand ifwindrvr.sys/vxdis loaded afterwdpnp.sys, it will initiate the transfer of the card resources instead ofwdpnp.sys.Moreover, nowwdpnp.sysdoes not assume thatwindrvr.sysis loaded and the two files open a communication path between them only to perform short operations, and then close it. This allows eliminating the dependency between the files and results in an improved stability and robustness.

• USBThe “send to pipe” operation in DriverWizard was fixed to allow input of long data strings (i.e., more than 1024 chars). The bug caused DriverWizard to issue application error when long data strings were sent.Timeout expiration was fixed to avoid BSOD if the USB device is no longer connected.WinDriver now uses the operating system’s DeviceAddress as a USB uniqueId instead of obtaining the Pointer to Device Object (PDO) from the operating system. Now WinDriver obtains the PDO only for the purpose of communicating with the USB device at theWD_GetConfiguration()andWD_DeviceRegister()stages. The reason is that obtaining the PDO is an intrusive operation, which could interfere with the operation of other devices drivers.For Isochronous data transfers, now WinDriver sends the last packet in a separate transaction, instead of the same transaction. The bug caused, in certain circumstances, the operating system USBD to send the last packet twice.
