hwitag_find_phyaddr()

QNX SDP8.0C Library ReferenceAPIDeveloper

Find the PHY address associated with a device

Synopsis:

#include <drvr/hwinfo.h>

int hwitag_find_phyaddr( unsigned hwi_off,
                         unsigned *phy_idx );

Arguments:

hwi_off
The offset into the hwinfo section of the system page for the device, which you can get by calling hwi_find_device().
phy_idx
NULL, or a pointer to a location that holds the index of the PHY address that you want to find; see below.

Library:

libdrvr

Description:

You can use hwitag_find_phyaddr() to find one or more PHY addresses associated with the device at hwi_off in the hwinfo section of the system page.

Some devices contain multiple PHY addresses. You can retrieve all of them by using the phy_idx parameter as follows:

  • On the first call, set *phy_idx to 0. The function returns the first address (if one exists).
  • You can then continue to call hwitag_find_phyaddr() with the same arguments until it returns -1.
  • If you know that there's more than 1 PHY address for the specified device, you can set *phy_idx to the entry number of the desired address. If that entry exists, the address is returned. For example, to obtain the third address for hwi_off, set *phy_idx to 2 (base-0 indexing applies).
  • If you're interested only in the first address, you can pass NULL for phy_idx (which is the same as setting *phy_idx to 0).

Returns:

the PHY address on success or -1 on error.
