  • Unlimited number of cifX boards supported
  • Toolkit V1.1.2.0
  • Supports up to 10 devices (limited by Windows CE)
  • Full source code included
  • Stream driver that can be included into a Windows CE image or loaded from an external disk
  • ISA / DPM Card support
  • Support for NXSB-PCA, NX-PCA-PCI, netPLC and netJack
  • PCI support using PCI Enumerator templates
  • Support for DMA data transfer for I/O data
  • Driver architecture based on the Microsoft KMDF (Kernel Mode Driver Framework) architecture
  • Compatible to the Plug&Play mechanism of Windows 2K, XP,Vista, 7, and Windows 8
  • Support for NXSB-PCA or NX-PCA-PCI boards included (PCI-Adapter to a netX DPM)
  • Interrupt notification for applications
  • Support of 2nd Memory Window for PCI based device (e.g. MRAM)
  • Setting the device time during start-up if time handling is supported by the device

 Limitations

  • Windows Plug & Play power save mode supported by the driver Attention: The actual netX hardware states are not stored and will be lost during power down! On system wake-up the hardware is re-started like on system power-on.
  • No IA64 support
  • Response times of driver calls are operating system and system load depending. Deterministic response times can’t be guaranteed
    IMPORTANT NOTE:    Windows® is not a deterministic real-time operating system. Any response times to specific hardware or driver functions can not be guaranteed and may differ between different versions of the Windows® operating systems. Furthermore, response times are also depending on the used host hardware, host performance, running services and installed software components.(Devices with PCI interface only)
  • Support for Interrupt and interrupt notification

 Limitations

  • Tested and developed for Windows CE 5.0 / 6.0

  • For RAM based cards like the cifX50, the driver needs access to firmware and configuration files during the start-up phase

  • When DMA is enabled the extended memory might not be available
