Write Kernel Driver/Driver in Delphi

[nanix]

Hey!


How to create such driver in delphi?

Thanks

It's possible, but it's PITA and requires a lot of skill and time... So, better get a book about driver development and take C.. (no, not C++)...

Of course, you need the Windows DDK, which can be found at microsoft.com (imho...)

The chinese created Kernel Driver kit for delphi

Well... The Chinese... They do a lot of things. And it's not always good. ;)

Besides, you have a link to this so-called "DDK". Why don't you explore it? Btw, the Archive contains the DCC32.exe from Delphi 11 (= 2007) Enterprise. So its illegal.

Once driver is create its not illegal no more ;)

Distributing this file is illegal no matter what you do with it once you downloaded the file.

or we just use lazarous problem solved! :)

With lazarus developing x64 drivers is 100% possible its just a matter of time.But it amazes me that noone decided to this yet? :?

Yes!That might work!However did they translate whole DDK?

[JamesTKirk]

The port is still young and experimental and moreover still waiting for commit into FPC's trunk. Also Microsoft's fastcall calling convention needs to be added to make this port really useful on x86 (it's no problem on x86_64 as there is only one calling convention on 64-bit Windows).

Currently I'm playing around with Usermode API, so I can implement the last parts of the RTL (Threading, I/O, Filesystem and handling of system exceptions). My plan is to translate NDK and DDK functions on demand (when they are needed).
