Drivers Hex Code

Posted on by

Generally it is a good idea NOT to plug the interface into the PC USB port before installing the GS-911 software – Windows will try and load the USB driver automatically, and while doing so, COULD load the incorrect driver. This shows detailed step-by-step installation instructions on how to install the software and USB driver correctly on your Windows system. USB drivers are only required for the yellow GS-911 devices. Manufacture and sales of the yellow GS-911 devices have been discontinued.

For most devices, the physical hierarchy of the devices on a computer determines the order in which Windows and the PnP manager load drivers. Windows and the PnP manager configure devices starting with the system root device, and then they configure the child devices of the root device (for example, a PCI adapter), the children of those devices, and so on. The PnP manager loads the drivers for each device as the device is configured, if the drivers were not previously loaded for another device.

Settings in the INF file can influence driver load order. This topic describes the relevant values that vendors should specify in the service-install-section referenced by a driver's INF AddService directive. Specifically, this topic discusses the StartType, BootFlags, LoadOrderGroup, and Dependencies entries.

Drivers should follow these rules for specifying StartType:

  • PnP driver

    A PnP driver should have a start type of SERVICE_DEMAND_START (0x3), specifying that the PnP manager can load the driver when the PnP manager finds a device that the driver services.

  • Driver for a device required to start the computer

    If a device is required to start the computer, the drivers for the device should have a start type of SERVICE_BOOT_START (0x0).

  • Non-boot-start driver that detects device(s) that are not PnP-enumerable

    For a device that is not PnP-enumerable, a driver reports the device to the PnP manager by calling IoReportDetectedDevice. Such a driver should have the start type SERVICE_SYSTEM_START (0x01) so Windows will load the driver during system initialization.

    Only drivers that report non-PnP hardware should set this start type. If a driver services both PnP and non-PnP devices, it should set this start type.

  • Non-PnP driver that must be started by the service control manager

    Such a driver should have the start type SERVICE_AUTO_START (0x02). PnP drivers must not set this start type.

A PnP driver should be written so that it can be loaded when Windows configures a device that the driver services. Conversely, a driver should be able to be unloaded any time that the PnP manager determines that there are no longer devices present that the driver services. The only driver load orderings that PnP drivers should depend on are as follows:

  1. The drivers for a child device can depend on the fact that the drivers for the parent device are loaded.

  2. A driver in the device stack can depend on the fact that any drivers below it are loaded.

    For example, the function driver can be certain that any lower-filter drivers are loaded.

    However, be aware that a driver in the device stack cannot depend on being loaded sequentially after a device's lower drivers, because the driver might are loaded previously when another device was configured.

Drivers Hex Code

Filter drivers in a filter group cannot predict their load ordering. For example, if a device has three registered upper-filter drivers, those three drivers will all be loaded after the function driver but could be loaded in any order within their upper-filter group.

If a driver has an explicit load-order dependency on another driver, that dependency should be implemented through a parent/child relationship. A driver for a child device can depend on the drivers for the parent device being loaded before the child drivers are loaded.

To reinforce the importance of setting the correct StartType value, the following list describes how Windows and the PnP manager use the StartType entries in INF files:

  1. On system startup, the operating system loader loads drivers of type SERVICE_BOOT_START before it transfers control to the kernel. These drivers are in memory when the kernel gets control.

    Boot-start drivers can use INF LoadOrderGroup entries to order their loading. (Boot-start drivers are loaded before most of the devices are configured, so their load order cannot be determined by device hierarchy.) The operating system ignores INF Dependencies entries for boot-start drivers.

  2. The PnP manager calls the DriverEntry routines of the SERVICE_BOOT_START drivers so the drivers can service the boot devices.

    If a boot device has child devices, those devices are enumerated. The child devices are configured and started if their drivers are also boot-start drivers. If a device's drivers are not all boot-start drivers, the PnP manager creates a device node (devnode) for the device but does not start the device yet.

  3. After all the boot drivers have loaded and the boot devices are started, the PnP manager configures the rest of the PnP devices and loads their drivers.

    The PnP manager walks the device tree and loads the drivers for the devnodes that are not yet started (that is, any nonstarted devnodes from the previous step). As each device starts, the PnP manager enumerates the children of the device, if any.

    As it configures these devices, the PnP manager loads the drivers for the devices, regardless of the drivers' StartType values (except when StartType is SERVICE_DISABLED) before proceeding to start the devices. Many of these drivers are SERVICE_DEMAND_START drivers.

    The PnP manager ignores registry entries that were created as a result of INF Dependencies entries and LoadOrderGroup entries for drivers that it loads in this step. The load ordering is based on the physical device hierarchy.

    At the end of this step, all the devices are configured, except devices that are not PnP-enumerable and the descendants of those devices. (The descendants might or might not be PnP-enumerable.)

  4. The PnP manager loads drivers of StartType SERVICE_SYSTEM_START that are not yet loaded.

    These drivers detect and report their non-PnP devices. The PnP manager processes registry entries that are the result of INF LoadOrderGroup entries for these drivers. It ignores registry entries that were created because of INF Dependencies entries for these drivers.

  5. The service control manager loads drivers of StartType SERVICE_AUTO_START that are not yet loaded.

    The service control manager processes the service database information with respect to the services' DependOnGroup and DependOnServices. This information is from Dependencies entries in INF AddService entries. Be aware that the Dependencies information is only processed for non-PnP drivers because any necessary PnP drivers were loaded in an earlier step of system startup. The service control manager ignores INF LoadOrderGroup information.

    See the Microsoft Windows SDK documentation for more information about the service control manager.

Using BootFlags to Promote a Driver's StartType at Boot Depending on Boot Scenario

The operating system can promote a driver's StartType to be a boot start driver depending on the BootFlags value specified in the driver's INF. You can specify one or more (ORed) of the following numeric values in the INF file, expressed as a hexadecimal value:

Drivers Hex Codes

  • If a driver should be promoted to be a boot start driver on network boot, specify 0x1 (CM_SERVICE_NETWORK_BOOT_LOAD).
  • If a driver should be promoted on booting from a VHD, specify 0x2 (CM_SERVICE_VIRTUAL_DISK_BOOT_LOAD)
  • If a driver should be promoted while booting from a USB disk, specify 0x4 (CM_SERVICE_USB_DISK_BOOT_LOAD).
  • If a driver should be promoted while booting from SD storage, specify 0x8 (CM_SERVICE_SD_DISK_BOOT_LOAD)
  • If a driver should be promoted while booting from a disk on a USB 3.0 controller, specify 0x10 (CM_SERVICE_USB3_DISK_BOOT_LOAD).
  • If a driver should be promoted while booting with measured boot enabled, specify 0x20 (CM_SERVICE_MEASURED_BOOT_LOAD).
  • If a driver should be promoted while booting with verifier boot enabled, specify 0x40 (CM_SERVICE_VERIFIER_BOOT_LOAD).
  • If a driver should be promoted on WinPE boot, specify 0x80 (CM_SERVICE_WINPE_BOOT_LOAD).

For more information about promoting a driver's StartType at boot, depending on the boot scenario, see INF AddService directive.

Hex and calculator toolWhat is a hex and calculator?
This tool performs the bitwise AND operation on all input hex numbers. The bitwise AND operation works on individual bits and before it's computed, the base of input hex numbers is internally converted to binary and zero-padded so that they all had the same length. Then, bits in every position are compared. If they are all 1, then the output bit is 1, otherwise, the output bit is 0. Hexabulous!
This example calculates bitwise AND of two hex numbers. The second hex value is a mask that isolates 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th hex digits in the first hex value.

This example performs bitwise AND operation on several hexadecimal values. As they are all the same length, AND can be computed digit by digit. Going from right to left (<- this way), the first digit is AND(e,a,6,6)=2, the second digit is AND(e,f,6,5)=4, the third digit is AND(f,a,f,4)=0, the fourth digit is AND(f,f,e,3)=2, and the last two digits are both zero because AND(0,a,e,2)=0, and AND(c,f,b,1)=0. The last two digits aren't printed as they are the leading digits and the result value 0x002042 is the same as 0x2024.
