Cypress Semiconductor is to provide its ES-USB customers with the WinDriver crossplatform driver development toolkit from Jungo Software Technologies, on Cypress's Lab CD-ROM.

WinDriver provides Cypress customers automatic driver code generation for the ES-USB device family and easy access to ES-USB hardware.

Enabling the development of high-performance device drivers, WinDriver features a graphical development environment, intuitive application programming interfaces (APIs), hardware diagnostic utilities and device driver samples.

WinDriver also includes libraries customised for Cypress's ES-USB device family to further accelerate driver development.

WinDriver facilitates driver development for Universal Serial Bus (USB) 1.1 and 2.0 hardware under Windows 98/Me/NT/2000/XP.

A device driver created with WinDriver can be ported between these operating systems without additional code modification.

In addition to USB, WinDriver also supports PCI-, CompactPCI-, ISA-, ISA PnP-, and EISA-based hardware.

Cypress offers the industry's broadest portfolio of USB microcontrollers.

Including the WinDriver development toolkit provides USB developers with additional tools to support their designs and accelerate their development.

Cypress's ES-USB microcontrollers target full-speed applications, including printers, scanners, xDSL modems and digital cameras.

ES-USB products cover a wide range of packages, memory sises, memory types and I/O configurations.

The development kit for the ES-USB family provides complete hardware and software solutions for accelerating the firmware and device driver development for the entire product suite.

"Cypress recognises the demand for system-level solutions in today's markets", stated Jeff Chang, product marketing manager for Cypress Semiconductor's Personal Communications Division.

"By offering WinDriver together with the ES-USB RDK (reference design kit), we are providing our customers a world-class, cost-effective solution to jump start their driver development projects".

"Jungo's core strength lies in its ability to provide industry-leading, high performance development tools with millions of deployments by thousands of customers worldwide", said Ophir Herbst, general manager, Software Tools Division at Jungo.

"By using WinDriver, Cypress customers will gain a competitive edge by shortening their time to market and reducing development costs".
