NAME

Intro- driver kernel interface introduction

SYNOPSIS

#include <dki/f_dki.h>

FEATURES

DKI

DESCRIPTION

Provides Driver/Kernel interface services.

EXTENDED DESCRIPTION

The Drivers/Kernel Interface (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 can be used by all kinds of drivers, regardless of the layer level.

• Various "Processor family specific DKI" APIs, which are defined and available only for a given processor family. These should be used only by the lowest-level drivers, that is, bus and device drivers that 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 ...)

• UltraSPARC IIi
