How a host application read/write to usb device using USB umdf dri

Hi, I build my own usb umdf driver based on the exmaple in
%WinDDK%\6001.18002\src\umdf\usb\fx2_driver\step4. I install the driver
successfully, and my usb device is working properly.

I have a C# application need to read/write message to the usb device. Could
anyone help?

Thanks.

 

From the application point of view, UMFD devices behave
exactly as "classic" devices. Do exactly same what you would
do to talk with any other device.

Using UMDF driver, what win32 API should I use to read or write message to a
USB device?

 

WinUsb APIs.

If you have an UMDF driver for the USB device, then you need a special INF file which will register WinUsb as the kmode driver for your device with UMDF reflector on top of it.

 

Dean,

Did you mean how would app send read/write to UMDF driver or did you mean
how would UMDF driver send read/write to USB device?

If it is the former, then as Pavel suggested, there is no difference for an
app whether it is talking to a UMDF driver or a KMDF/WDM driver.

If it is the latter, while using WinUsb is a possibility, UMDF Usb I/O
targets would be the preferred way (since they will handle async,
cancellation, synchronization etc. for you). Please look at the UMDF Fx2
driver samples in WDK.

Thanks you very much.

If I use UMDF, I should use DeviceIOControl api (I don't remember what dll
to import), if I only use WinUSB, I should use winusb.dll, here is an example
[DllImport("winusb.dll", SetLastError = true)]
internal static extern Boolean WinUsb_Initialize(SafeFileHandle
DeviceHandle, ref IntPtr InterfaceHandle);
