Function Documentation

NUTDEVICE* NutDeviceLookup ( const char *  name)

Find device entry by name.

Parameters:
nameUnique device name.
Returns:
Pointer to the NUTDEVICE structure.

Referenced by _open(), NutBlockDeviceOpen(), NutDhcpIfConfig(), NutNetIfAddMcastAddr(), NutNetIfConfig2(), NutNetIfDelMcastAddr(), NutRegisterDevice(), opendir(), rename(), stat(), and upnp_Init().

Here is the call graph for this function:

NUTDEVICE* NutDeviceLookupType ( NUTDEVICE dev,
uint_fast8_t  type 
)

Find device entry by type.

Parameters:
devPointer to the device returned by the last call. Set to NULL to start searching at the first entry.
typeDevice type. May be any of the following:
Returns:
Pointer to the NUTDEVICE structure or NULL if no more devices were found.

References _NUTDEVICE::dev_next, _NUTDEVICE::dev_type, NULL, and nutDeviceList.

Referenced by NutBlockDeviceOpen().

int NutRegisterDevice ( NUTDEVICE dev,
uintptr_t  base,
uint8_t  irq 
)

Register and initialize a device.

Initializes the device and adds it to the system device list. Applications should call this function during initialization for each device they intend to use.

Parameters:
devPointer to the NUTDEVICE structure, which is provided by the device driver. This structure contains a hardware device name, which must be unique among all registered devices. Drivers may operate in a different mode using the same hardware, like interrupt driven or polling UART drivers. Only one of those drivers can be registered, because they specify the same hardware device name.
baseHardware base address of this device. Set to 0, if the device driver has a fixed hardware address.
irqHardware interrupt used by this device. Set to 0, if the device driver doesn't support configurable interupts.
Returns:
0 if the device has been registered for the first time and initialization was successful. The function returns -1 if any device with the same name had been registered previously, if the NUTDEVICE structure is invalid or if the device initialization failed.

Referenced by InitDebugDevice(), main(), NutRegisterOwiBus_Uart(), and NutRegisterSpiDevice().

Here is the call graph for this function:

int NullIOCTL ( NUTDEVICE dev,
int  req,
void *  conf 
)

Perform control functions.

This function is called by the ioctl() function of the C runtime library.

Parameters:
devIdentifies the device that receives the device-control function.
reqRequested control function. We do return ok for any function
confPoints to a buffer that contains any data required for the given control function or receives data from that function.
Returns:
0 on success, -1 otherwise.
