+# Driver Creation
+
+This document will walk you through the creation of Universal Drivers for your IoT Core device.
+
+Universal Drivers enable you to create a single driver package that runs across several device types running UWP-based editions of Windows 10, including IoT Core.
+
+This driver package contains a Universal INF file and several binaries. The requirements for each are as follows:
+- Universal INF files can only use [the subset of INF syntax supported on UWP-based editions of Windows](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/install/using-a-universal-inf-file#which-inf-sections-are-invalid-in-a-universal-inf-file). While writing your INF file, use the [InfVerif tool](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/devtest/infverif) to verify that the file adheres to that syntax.
+
+- binaries can only use device driver interfaces supported on UWP-based editions of Windows 10 (marked as Universal on the documentation reference pages): [KMDF](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/wdf/index), [UMDF 2](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/wdf/getting-started-with-umdf-version-2), or the Windows Driver Model (WDM). They can also only call APIs included in the OneCore Subset. Use the [ApiValidator tool](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/develop/validating-universal-drivers) to verify that the APIs your binaries call are valid.
