For information about hardware compatibility and third party device drivers, see this Microsoft Web site. This site also contains links to information about driver validation and BSP certification programs for third parties.
If Microsoft validates your drivers, you can use Platform Builder to package and export the drivers as Microsoft Windows Installer files (.msi files) for other Platform Builder users to add to the Catalog in Platform Builder.
