KDMF Hello World driver install failing

Paulo Santos 1

Hi,

I followed the example to install a kmdf driver:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/gettingstarted/writing-a-very-small-kmdf--driver

But in step 8 of section "Deploy the driver", devcon is failing to install the driver (setuppi.dev.log result):

>> [Device Install (UpdateDriverForPlugAndPlayDevices) - Root\KmdfHelloWorld3]
>> Section start 2021/10/26 14:56:12.000

  cmd: "C:\DriverTest\devcon.exe" -f install C:\DriverTest\Drivers\KmdfHelloWorld3.inf Root\KmdfHelloWorld3  
 ndv: INF path: C:\DriverTest\Drivers\KmdfHelloWorld3.inf  
 ndv: Install flags: 0x00000001  
 ndv: {Update Device Driver - ROOT\SYSTEM\0002}  
 dvi:      Set selected driver complete.  
 ndv:      Search options: 0x00000080  
 ndv:      Searching single INF 'C:\DriverTest\Drivers\KmdfHelloWorld3.inf'

 dvi:           Searching for hardware ID(s):  
 dvi:                root\kmdfhelloworld3  
 dvi:           Processing a single INF: 'c:\drivertest\drivers\kmdfhelloworld3.inf'  
 inf:           Opened INF: 'c:\drivertest\drivers\kmdfhelloworld3.inf' ([strings])  
 dvi:           Enumerating INFs from path list 'C:\windows\INF'

 dvi:      {Build Driver List - exit(0x00000000)} 14:56:12.162

! ndv: No matching drivers found in single INF
dvi: {DIF_SELECTBESTCOMPATDRV} 14:56:12.181
dvi: No class installer for 'System devices'
dvi: No CoInstallers found
dvi: Default installer: Enter 14:56:12.209
dvi: {Select Best Driver}
! dvi: Selecting driver failed(0xe0000228)
dvi: {Select Best Driver - exit(0xe0000228)}
! dvi: Default installer: failed
! dvi: Error 0xe0000228: There are no compatible drivers for this device.

IMPORTANT: My target (test PC) is running Windows 11 and is ARM64:
[Device Install Log]
OS Version = 10.0.22000
Service Pack = 0.0
Suite = 0x0300
ProductType = 1
Architecture = arm64

Is there some problem to run this example in a Windows 11 ARM64 device? (the example is written for x64)

Thank you in advance,
Paulo Santos.

Dears,

updating some tests:

I set platform in Visual Studio to ARM64 instead of x64, and the whole deploy was not possible:

"The driver processor architecture (ARM64) does not match the processor architecture of the target computer (X64). The processor architecture of the driver and the computer must match."

However, I copied and pasted the ARM64 build in the target and ran devcon manually and the driver was installed.

So, I believe if C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Remote\ARM\WDK Test Target Setup ARM-arm_en-us.msi was running properly, it should be possible to perform the whole example correctly.

But when "WDK Test Target Setup ARM-arm_en-us.msi" is executed in the target, the following popup is shown: "This installation package is not supported by this processor type. Contact your product vendor."

Do you know if there is some WDK Test Target to setup an ARM64 machine? I've downloaded the latest WDK available in step 3 here:

Thank you in advance,
Paulo Santos.

You should be able to add the processor to the default install in the .inf file. See: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/install/inf-defaultinstall-section [DefaultInstall] | [DefaultInstall.nt] | [DefaultInstall.ntx86] | [DefaultInstall.ntia64] | (Windows XP and later versions of Windows) [DefaultInstall.ntamd64] | (Windows XP and later versions of Windows) [DefaultInstall.ntarm] | (Windows 8 and later versions of Windows) [DefaultInstall.ntarm64] (Windows 10 version 1709 and later versions of Windows)
