San Jose, CA — Jungo today announced the availability of Version 5.20 of its driver development suite. In this latest release, Jungo adds support for the Windows Driver Model (WDM) and provides Plug-and-Play and Power Management events handling, for enabling both improved control of hardware devices, and better integration with the operating system. Other new features include support for 64-bit data transfer on x86 platforms running 32-bit operating systems, and an API for the PLX Technology PCI 9656 64-bit I/O Accelerator chip. Additional enhancements include WinDriver and KernelDriver API support for multiple interface USB devices, dual processor, SMP support on Linux, and scatter/gather DMA support on Linux 2.4.

WinDriver and KernelDriver are driver development tools that simplify the development of device drivers for USB / PCI / CompactPCI / ISA / ISAPnP and EISA custom hardware under Windows 95 / 98 / Me / NT / 2000 / XP, Windows CE, Linux, Solaris and VxWorks. The tools feature graphical development environments, APIs, diagnostic and debug utilities and samples, and eliminate the need for both kernel and DDK knowledge.

WinDriver and KernelDriver Version 5.20 free evaluation copies are available for download from the Jungo website.
