Electronic systems like printers, scanners, video cards, webcams, and computer storage all require software drivers. A device driver simplifies programming because it provides an abstraction layer between a hardware device and the application or operating system. The abstraction layer allows the higher-level application code to be written independently of the specific underlying hardware. The device-driver accepts these abstraction layer’s high-level commands and breaks them into a series of low-level device-specific commands as required by the specific hardware device. Drivers are hardware and operating system dependent. Writing device drivers requires specialized hardware and operating system expertise.

System Monitoring Software

Microsoft Windows Device Drivers

Our software engineers have developed dozens of drivers for Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP, Vista, Server 2003, and Windows CE. DLLs are often used to interface to hardware or a device driver in or connected to a PC. A DLL is a Dynamic Linked Library, a Windows standard for a program that is called by an application and may be shared with more than one application. We are DLL wizards.

Linux Device Drivers

Voler software engineers have over 10 years of experience with RedHat, QNX, and other custom Linux installations. We have been involved in the development of Linux based embedded systems from the driver layer to the application layer. We have delivered drivers and applications for USB devices, PCI boards, and web services.
