FEATURES

DKI

DESCRIPTION

Provides Driver/Kernel interface services

EXTENDED DESCRIPTION

The Drivers/Kernel Interface or DKI, defines all services provided by the ChorusOS microkernel in order to write driver components.

The DKI is composed of:

A "Common DKI API", which defines services common to all platforms and processors, and which are usable by all kinds of drivers, notwithstanding the layer level.
Various "Processor family specific DKI" APIs, which are defined and available only for a given processor family and which should be used only by the lowest-level drivers. That is, drivers for busses and devices which are directly connected to the processor's local bus.

Currently, "Processor family specific DKI" APIs are defined for the following processors:

PowerPC 60x (603x, 604x, MPC750)
Intel (ix86 ...)
