Hi David, I think we're all in agreement that there are some gaps in the FMA documentation wrt to developers who want to harden drivers, and it is an issue we're trying to address. We recently released the updated Writing Device Drivers answerbook with information on hardening drivers and we've also recently updated the FMD PRM (60+ new pages of content). Both of which are now available on the FM community page.
I actually think that much the documentation for the questions you raised below already exists, but it's spread out all over the place (on various sites both internal and external) and we don't have an overview doc that ties what we already have together. I think that's the crux of the problem that you're seeing and it is something we're trying to address - time permitting, of course :) thanks, rob david.zhang wrote: > Hi Rob, > > The demokit is wonderful.
