Overview of Streaming I/O and Device Drivers
Streaming I/O and Device Drivers 7-3
Unlike other modules, your application programs do not issue direct calls to
driver functions that manipulate individual device objects managed by the
SIO module. Instead, each driver module exports a specifically named
structure of a specific type (DEV_Fxns), which in turn is used by the SIO
module to route generic function calls to the proper driver function.
As illustrated in Table 7-1, each SIO operation calls the appropriate driver
function by referencing this table. Dxx designates the device-specific function
which you write for your particular device.
Table 7-1. Generic I/O to Internal Driver Operations
These internal driver functions can rely on virtually all of the capabilities
supplied by DSP/BIOS, ranging from the multitasking features of the kernel
to the application-level services. Drivers use the device-independent I/O
interface of DSP/BIOS to communicate indirectly with other drivers,
especially in supporting stackable devices.
