Lesson 2: Implementing a Stream Interface Driver

On Windows Embedded CE, a stream driver is a device driver that implements the stream interface API. Regardless of hardware specifics, all CE stream drivers expose the stream interface functions to the operating system so the Device Manager of Windows Embedded CE can load and manage these drivers. As the name implies, stream drivers are suitable for I/O devices that act as sources or sinks of streams of data, such as integrated hardware components and peripheral devices. It is also possible for a stream driver to access other drivers to provide applications with more convenient access to the underlying hardware. In any case, you need to know the stream interface functions and how to implement them if you want to develop a fully functional and reliable stream driver.
