Windows Driver Kit
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Windows Driver Kit (WDK) is a software toolset from Microsoft that enables the development of device drivers for the Microsoft Windows platform. It includes documentation, samples, build environments, and tools for driver developers.
[edit] History of WDK
Previously, the WDK was known as Windows Driver Development Kit (DDK) and supported Windows Driver Model development. It got its current name when Microsoft released Windows Vista and added the following tools to the kit:
- Windows Driver Foundation (WDF)
- Installable File System Kit (IFS Kit)
- Driver Test Manager (DTM)
Later DTM was renamed to Windows Logo Kit (WLK) and separated from WDK.
