Detailed Description

Device structure.
Examples:

httpd/httpserv.c, inetq/inetq.c, portdio/portdio.c, ppp_demo/ppp_demo.c, rs232d/rs232d.c, tcps/tcps.c, and threads/threads.c.


Field Documentation

u_short _NUTDEVICE::dev_base
 

Hardware base address.

Will be set by calling NutRegisterDevice(). On some device drivers this address may be fixed.

void* _NUTDEVICE::dev_dcb
 

Driver control block.

Points to a device specific information block.

void* _NUTDEVICE::dev_icb
 

Interface control block.

With stream devices, this points to the IFSTREAM structure and with network devices this is a pointer to the IFNET structure.

int(* _NUTDEVICE::dev_init)(NUTDEVICE *)
 

Driver initialization routine.

With stream devices this is called during NutDeviceOpen(). For network devices this routine is called within NutNetIfConfig().

int(* _NUTDEVICE::dev_ioctl)(NUTDEVICE *, int, void *)
 

Driver control function.

Used to modify or query device specific settings.

u_char _NUTDEVICE::dev_irq
 

Interrupt registration number.

Will be set by calling NutRegisterDevice(). On some device drivers the interrupt may be fixed.

u_char _NUTDEVICE::dev_type
 

Type of interface.

May be any of the following:

  • IFTYP_RAM
  • IFTYP_ROM
  • IFTYP_STREAM
  • IFTYP_NET
