Driver Basic Steps in Visual Studio?!

Question

starting from scratch & trying get on System Devices(ENDED Support & Driver Softwares don't update 'em) like :
*Intel(R) 7 Series/C216 Chipset Family SMBus Host Controller - 1E22 (no drivers installed)
*Legacy Device - on Intel(R) HM76 Express Chipset LPC Controller - 1E59

• some same Intel(R) 7 Series - 1E16 (that isn't present at all)
• some others as System Board or Motheboard Resources probably too;

installed VS 2019, didn't find yet all around the googled stuff - the principle steps into it :

1. create project - KMDF(empty or full) is okay, after found explanation to set Solution to Release & x64, Driver Setting to Windows Driver, .. cleaned by myself - but what after??? what the steps after this - NO IDEA, ..
   ~ should build a solution already? .. or to opem Code? .. or how identify a concrete System Device in Code?!
   & how be for such devices with this "MSBuild error MSB8040" should Qspectre enabled or can disable?!

any Help for Dinos?!

Answer 1

Hello

Thank you for your question and reaching out. I can understand you are having issues related to KMDF drivers.

To fix the error, first decide if you want Spectre mitigation. You can read about Spectre mitigation at the page for the /Qspectre compiler option. If you don't want Spectre mitigation, make sure it's disabled. For command-line builds, check that you're not using the /Qspectre compiler option or its variants /Qspectre-load and /Qspectre-load-cf. To disable it in the Visual Studio IDE, open Properties for your projects, and in the Configuration Properties > C/C++ > Code Generation property page, set the Spectre Mitigations property to Disabled
