| | Device driver - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A device driver, or a software driver is a specific type of computer software, typically developed to allow interaction with hardware devices. | | | Writing a device driver is considered a challenge in most cases, as it requires an in-depth understanding of how a given platform functions, both at the hardware and the software level. | | | Choosing and installing the correct device drivers for given hardware is often a key component of computer system configuration. |

| | Device Drivers |
| | Because each hardware device or component may have different requirements for its input and output parameters or standard implementation, it is necessary to write a program on a microcontroller or computer to specifically handle the needs of another particular piece of hardware like a printer, wireless card, or memory. | | | In the case of embedded devices, the specific behavior of the device is more closely related to the program in general than in higher level programming situations. | | | This way the programmers can write programs without having to know which hardware they are writing for. |

| | How Windows determines the most suitable device driver to install during Setup |
| | Device driver ranks in the range of 0x0 to 0xfff are called "Hardware ID matches" because they match hardware ID to hardware ID. These ranks are also considered the most suitable matches and any other ranks are listed as "compatible" because there is at least one compatible ID in building the device driver rank. | | | If a new device is introduced (not during Setup) and a match is not found in any.inf files on the computer, you can receive a "New Hardware Found" prompt and you can be asked to supply a device driver. | | | The device driver with the lowest rank is considered the most suitable possible match and is the device driver installed. |

| | How to Roll Back a Device Driver |
| | Driver Rollback permits only one level of rollback (only one prior driver version can be saved at a time); this feature is available for all device classes, except printers. | | | However, each time you update a driver, Windows XP automatically saves a copy of the previous driver on your computer. | | | Windows XP knows how to work with thousands of different hardware devices like digital cameras, video cards, and scanners. |

| | Imagine that you're asked to develop a device driver from scratch, but you don't have the target hardware available to you while you are developing the software. | | | Testing and debugging the device driver on the simulated environment is obviously easier than testing the same on the actual hardware. | | | The examination defined in this section is to test the flow of the various low-level helper functions and entry points in the device driver. |
