Step 1. Installing the Infrared Communications DDK

Once you use the MS-DOS XCOPY command to copy the IR Communication DDK tree to your hard disk, your hard disk contains all the files you need to develop an OEM-provided IrFramer VxD and build a Windows 95 IR Communications installation diskette that includes your VxD. Use the files in the subdirectory named DDK to build the VxD for your infrared device.

The files you need to put on a Windows 95 IR Communications installation diskette along with your VxD are in the DDK RETAIL subdirectory. The files in the RETAIL subdirectory are described in the DDK documentation file DRVRELNO.DOC.

The contents of the DDK subdirectory is shown in the following:

%IRDDKROOT%
  |
  |
  |----\DDK
          |--CVXDCTRL.ASM    // Sample VxD stub
          |--DONGLE.LIB      //
          |--IRDA.H          // Contains definitions used by the
          |                  // IRDA modules
          |--IRLAMP.INC      // Definitions for the IrLAMP VxD
          |--MAKEFILE        // Sample OEM MAKEFILE, will have to be
          |                  // adapted to the IHV's
          |                  // or OEM's development environment
          |--OEMDONGL.C      // Sample OEM dongle driver
          |--PORT.H          //
          |--PRINTF.INC      //
          |--_DONGLE.H       // Contains definitions for supporting
                             // dongles in the IrLAP framer. 
 

The DDK subdirectory also contains the documentation file DDKRELNO.DOC (this file).
