ReactOS kernel driver

[Mohammad Samian Yusuf]

Hi everyone
I was wondering, developing kernel drivers for reactOS, does it have any templates to
follow up, or how does the driver development work for reactOS, I am am trying to
understand if I am to develop a kernel driver, should I be building it against a windows
version,which can be ported to reactOS later through some changes??

Any advices would be appreciated

With Care

You should be coding the drivers so that they work on NT5.2/Windows Server
2003. Then, if the resulting driver does not work in ReactOS, it often
means we have a bug in ReactOS itself.

As for compiling with DDK/RosBE, I don't have much experience with drivers,
but so far as I know, you'll probably save some time if you work directly
within the reactos build system, but if you write it with the Windows DDK,
porting it to compile with RosBE shouldn't take long.
