Kernel Functions for Drivers  csxAccessConfigurationRegister(9F)



NAME
     csxAccessConfigurationRegister - read or write  a  PC  Card
     Configuration Register

SYNOPSIS
     #include 



     int32t csxAccessConfigurationRegister(clienthandlet ch,
          accessconfigregt *acr);


INTERFACE LEVEL
     Solaris DI Specific (Solaris DI)

PARAMETERS
     ch     Client handle returned from csxRegisterClient(9F).


     acr    Pointer to an accessconfigregt structure.


DESCRIPTION
     This function allows a client to read or write a PCard Con-
     figuration Register.

STRUCTURE MEMBERS
     The structure members of accessconfigregt are:

       uint32t     Socket;     /* socket number*/
       uint32t     Action;     /* register access operation*/
       uint32t     Offset;     /* config register offset*/
       uint32t     Value;      /* value read or written*/



     The fields are defined as follows:

     Socket    Not used in  Solaris,  but  for  portability  with
               other  Card Services implementations, it should be
               set to the logical socket number.


     Action    May be set to CONFIGREGREAD or CONFIGREGWRITE.
               All  other values in the Action field are reserved
               for future use. If the  Action  field  is  set  to
               CONFIGREGWRITE,  the  Value  field is written to
               the specified configuration  register.  Card  Ser-
               vices  does  not  read  the configuration register
               after a write  operation.  For  that  reason,  the
               Value  field  is only updated by a CONFIGREGREAD

               request.


     Offset    Specifies the byte offset for the  desired  confi-
               guration  register  from the PC Card configuration
               register         base         specified         in
               csxRequestConfiguration(9F).


     Value     Contains the value read from the  PC  Card  Confi-
               guration  Register  for  a  read  operation. For a
               write operation,  the  Value  field  contains  the
               value  to  write to the configuration register. As
               noted above, on return from a write  request,  the
               Value  field  is  the value written to the PC Card
               and not any changed value that may  have  resulted
               from  the  write  request  (that is, no read after
               write is performed).



     A client must be very careful when writing to the COR  (Con-
     figuration Option Register) at offset 0. This has the poten-
     tial to change the type of interrupt  request  generated  by
     the  PC  Card  or  place the card in the reset state. Either
     request may have undefined results. The client  should  read
     the  register  to  determine the appropriate setting for the
     interrupt mode (Bit 6) before writing to the register.


     If   a   client   wants   to    reset    a    PCard,    the
     csxResetFunction(9F)   function   should  be  used.  Unlike
     csxAccessConfigurationRegister(), the csxResetFunction(9F)
     function  generates  a  series of event notifications to all
     clients using the PC Card,  so  they  can  re-establish  the
     appropriate  card  state  after  the reset operation is com-
     plete.

RETURN VALUES
     CSUCES                 Successful operation.


     CSBADARGS                Specified arguments are  invalid.
                                Client  specifies  an Offset that
                                is  out  of  range   or   neither
                                CONFIGREGREAD                or
                                CONFIGREGWRITE is set.


     CSUNSUPORTEDMODE        Client     has     not     called
                                csxRequestConfiguration(9F)
                                before calling this function.
