Echo Sample (UMDF Version 2)
The ECHO (UMDF version 2) sample demonstrates how to use a sequential queue to serialize read and write requests presented to the driver.
It also shows how to synchronize execution of these events with other asynchronous events such as request cancellation and DPC.
Universal Windows Driver Compliant
This sample builds a Universal Windows Driver. It uses only APIs and DDIs that are included in OneCoreUAP.

Build the sample with Visual Studio
Open the driver solution in Visual Studio
In Microsoft Visual Studio, open the solution file (umdf2echo.sln). Choose Solution Explorer from the View menu. In Solution Explorer, you can see one solution that contains three projects. There is a driver project (Driver->AutoSync->echo), an application project (Exe->echoapp), and a package project named package (lower case).
Set the configuration and platform in Visual Studio
In Visual Studio, in Solution Explorer, right click Solution, and choose Configuration Manager. Set the configuration and the platform. Make sure that the configuration and platform are the same for both the driver project and the package project. Do not check the Deploy boxes.
Locate the built driver package
In File Explorer, navigate to the folder that contains your built driver package. The location of this folder varies depending on what you set for configuration and platform.
Run the sample
The computer where you install the driver is called the target computer or the test computer. Typically this is a separate computer from where you develop and build the driver package. The computer where you develop and build the driver is called the host computer.
The process of moving the driver package to the target computer and installing the driver is called deploying the driver. You can deploy a driver sample automatically or manually.
Automatic deployment (root enumerated)
Before you automatically deploy a driver, you must provision the target computer. For instructions, see Provision a computer for driver deployment and testing.
On the host computer, in Visual Studio, in Solution Explorer, right click package (lower case), and choose Properties. Navigate to Configuration Properties > Driver Install > Deployment.
Check Enable deployment, and check Remove previous driver versions before deployment. For Target Computer Name, select the name of a target computer that you provisioned previously. Select Hardware ID Driver Update, and enter root\ECHO for the hardware ID. Click OK.
On the Build menu, choose Build Solution.
Manual deployment (root enumerated)
Before you manually deploy a driver, you must turn on test signing and install a certificate on the target computer. You also need to copy the DevCon tool to the target computer. For instructions, see Preparing a Computer for Manual Driver Deployment.
Copy all of the files in your driver package to a folder on the target computer (for example, c:\umdf2echoPkg).
On the target computer, open a Command Prompt window as Administrator. Navigate to your driver package folder, and enter the following command:
devcon install echoum.inf root\\ECHO
View the root enumerated driver in Device Manager
On the target computer, in a Command Prompt window, enter devmgmt to open Device Manager. In Device Manager, on the View menu, choose Devices by type. In the device tree, locate Sample WDF ECHO Driver (for example, this might be under the Sample Device node).
In Device Manager, on the View menu, choose Devices by connection. Locate Sample WDF ECHO Driver as a child of the root node of the device tree.
Build the sample using MSBuild
As an alternative to building the driver sample in Visual Studio, you can build it in a Visual Studio Command Prompt window. In Visual Studio, on the Tools menu, choose Visual Studio Command Prompt. In the Visual Studio Command Prompt window, navigate to the folder that has the solution file, umdf2echo.sln. Use the MSBuild command to build the solution. Here is an example:
msbuild /p:configuration="Release" /p:platform="Win32" umdf2echo.sln
