Interface MMIODevice

All Superinterfaces:

java.lang.AutoCloseable, java.nio.channels.Channel, java.io.Closeable, Peripheral<MMIODevice>

public interface MMIODevice
extends Peripheral<MMIODevice>

The MMIODevice class provides methods to retrieve memory-mapped registers and memory blocks of a peripheral device.

An MMIO device may be identified by the numerical ID and by the name (if any defined) that correspond to its registered configuration. An MMIODevice instance can be opened by a call to one of the PeripheralManager.open(id,...) methods using its ID or by a call to one of the PeripheralManager.open(name,...) methods using its name. When an MMIODevice instance is opened with an ad-hoc MMIODeviceConfig configuration (which includes its hardware addressing information) using one of the PeripheralManager.open(config,...) it is not assigned any ID nor name.

With memory-mapped I/O, peripheral devices can be controlled by directly reading or writing to memory areas representing the registers or memory blocks of the peripheral device. Each register or memory block is represented by a RawMemory instance. Each register or memory block is also usually assigned a name which can be used for name-based lookup. The complete memory area the peripheral device is mapped to can also be retrieved as single RawBlock instance, allowing for offset-based access to all the registers and memory blocks of the device.

An application can register an MMIOEventListener instance to monitor native events of the designated type fired by the peripheral device. To register a MMIOEventListener instance, the application must call the setMMIOEventListener(int, MMIOEventListener) method. The registered listener can later on be removed by calling the same method with a null listener parameter. Asynchronous notification may not be supported by all memory-mapped devices. An attempt to set a listener on a memory-mapped device which does not supports it will result in an UnsupportedOperationException being thrown.

When done, an application should call the MMIODevice.close method to close the MMIO device. Any further attempt to access an MMIO device which has been closed will result in a ClosedPeripheralException been thrown.

Opening a MMIODevice instance is subject to permission checks (see MMIOPermission).

Note that the event types (IDs) supported by a memory-mapped device are device as well as platform specific. For example, each interrupt request line of a peripheral device may be mapped to a distinct event type ID. Refer to the device data sheet and the platform configuration.

Note that the byte, short and int values passed to and returned by this API have to be interpreted as 8 bit, 16 bit and 32 bit unsigned quantities. Proper handling is needed when performing integer arithmetic on these quantities.

Registers a MMIOEventListener instance to monitor native events of the designated type fired by the peripheral device mapped to this MMIODevice object and capture the content of designated memory area.

While the listener can be triggered by hardware interrupts, there are no real-time guarantees of when the listener will be called.

The content of the designated memory area will be captured upon the occurrence of the designated event. Upon notification of the corresponding MMIOEvent, the captured content of a designated memory area may be retrieved using MMIOEvent.getCapturedMemoryContent.

If this MMIODevice is open in PeripheralManager.SHARED access mode the listeners registered by all the applications sharing the underlying device will get notified of the events they registered for.

If listener is null then listener previously registered for the specified event type will be removed.

Only one listener can be registered at a particular time for a particular event type.

Parameters:

eventId - ID of the native event to listen to.

capturedIndex - the byte index in this device mapped raw memory area to capture.

captureBuffer - the direct ByteBuffer to save the captured memory area in; up to captureBuffer.remaining() bytes will be copied from this device mapped raw memory area starting at capturedIndex into this buffer starting at the buffer's position at the moment this method is called.

listener - the MMIOEventListener instance to be notified upon occurrence of the designated event.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if some other I/O error occurs.

AccessOutOfBoundsException - if capturedIndex and/or captureBuffer.remaining() would result in pointing outside this device mapped raw memory area.

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if eventId does not correspond to any supported event or if captureBuffer is not a direct ByteBuffer.

java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException - if this MMIODevice object does not support asynchronous event notification.

java.lang.IllegalStateException - if listener is not null and a listener is already registered for the specified event type.

ClosedPeripheralException - if the peripheral has been closed.

java.lang.NullPointerException - if captureBuffer is null.

UnavailablePeripheralException
