chip_access()

QNX SDP8.0Building Embedded SystemsConfigurationDeveloper

Synopsis:

void chip_access(paddr_t base, 
                 unsigned reg_shift, 
                 unsigned mem_mapped, 
                 unsigned size);

Description:

Get access to a hardware chip at physical address base with a register shift value of reg_shift (0 if registers are one byte apart; 1 if registers are two bytes apart, etc. See devc-ser8250 for more information).

If mem_mapped is zero, the function uses startup_io_map() to get access; otherwise, it uses startup_memory_map(). The size parameter gives the range of locations to be given access to (the value is scaled by the reg_shift parameter for the actual amount that's mapped). After this call is made, the chip_read*() and chip_write*() functions can access the specified device. You can have only one chip_access() in effect at any one time.
