Roadmap for Developing Storport Miniport Drivers

Last Updated: 4/20/2017

To create a storport miniport driver, perform the following steps: 还是9步

1. Learn about Windows architecture and drivers. 学习Windows系统架构和驱动知识

   It‘s important that you understand the fundamentals of how drivers work in Windows. Knowing the fundamentals will help you make appropriate design decisions and allow you to streamline your development process. See Concepts for all driver developers.

2. Learn the fundamentals of storport miniport drivers. 学习storport和miniport的基础知识

   To learn storport miniport driver fundamentals, see Windows Storage Driver Architecture, Capabilities Provided by Storport, and Storport‘s Interface with Storport Miniport Drivers.

3. Determine additional storport miniport driver design decisions. 列出storport和miniport开发所需的其他功能

   For information about how to make design decisions, see Capabilities Provided by Storport, Storport‘s Interface with the Storage Class Driver, Storage Virtual Miniport Drivers: When Are They Appropriate?, and Making SCSI Port Miniport Drivers Work with Storport.

4. Learn about storport miniport drivers in Windows Vista and later operating systems. 学习Windows Vista以及后面的操作系统

   See History of Storport in the Windows Driver Kit (WDK).

5. Learn about the Windows driver build, test, and debug processes and tools. 学习Windows驱动编译，测试，调试的过程和工具

   Building a driver is not the same as building a user-mode application. See Developing, Testing, and Deploying Drivers for information about Windows driver build, debug, and test processes, driver signing, and Windows Logo testing. See Driver Development Tools for information about building, testing, verifying, and debugging tools.

6. Review storport miniport driver samples. 学习storport和miniport的驱动例子

   To access and review the storport miniport driver samples see the MSDN Code Gallery.

7. Develop, build, test, and debug your storport miniport driver. 开发，编译，测试和调试自己开发的驱动程序

   See Building a Driver, Testing a Driver, and Debugging a Driver for information about iterative building, testing, and debugging. This process will help ensure that you build a driver that works.

8. Create a driver package for your storport miniport driver. 创建驱动包

   For more information, see Creating a Driver Package.

9. Sign and distribute your storport miniportdriver.  给驱动包加数字签名，发给小伙伴使用

   The final step is to (optionally) sign and distribute the driver. If your driver meets the quality standards that are defined for Windows Hardware Certification, you can distribute it through the Microsoft Windows Update program. For more information, see Distributing a Driver Package.

These are the basic steps. Additional steps might be necessary based on the needs of your individual driver.

正所谓

微软这算放个屁，基本一样真没趣，你若真心待码农，写成汉语行不行？
