Where to Go for More Information ______________________________________________________________________ 11.. IInnttrroodduuccttiioonn The Linux kernel PCMCIA system has three main components. At the lowest level are the socket drivers. Next is the Card Services module. Drivers for specific cards are layered on top of Card Services. One special Card Services client, called Driver Services, provides a link betweek user level utility programs and the kernel facilities. The socket driver layer is loosely based on the Socket Services API. There are two socket driver modules. The tcic module supports the Databook TCIC-2 family of host controllers. The i82365 module supports the Intel i82365sl family and various Intel-compatible controllers, including Cirrus, VLSI, Ricoh, and Vadem chips. In addition, the i82365 module implements support for CardBus controllers that follow the ``Yenta'' register-level specification. Card Services is the largest single component of the package. It provides an API somewhat similar to DOS Card Services, adapted to a Unix environment. The Linux implementation was based in part on the Solaris interface specification. It is implemented in the pcmcia_core module. Most version 2.1 features are implemented, with some PC Card 95 features. The Driver Services layer implements a user mode pseudo-device for accessing some Card Services functions from utility programs. It is responsible for keeping track of all client drivers, and for matching up drivers with physical sockets. It is implemented in the ds module. This document describes the kernel interface to the Card Services and Driver Services modules, and the user interface to Driver Services. It is intended for use by client device driver developers. The Linux PCMCIA-HOWTO describes how to install and use Linux PCMCIA support. It is available from projects.sourceforge.net in /pub/pcmcia-cs. 11..11..

AAcckknnoowwlleeddggeemmeennttss I'd like to thank all the Linux users who have helped test and debug this software, and who have helped with driver development. I should also thank Linus Torvalds, Donald Becker, Alan Cox, and Bjorn Ekwall for Linux kernel development help. I'm especially grateful to Michael Bender for many helpful discussions about the Solaris implementation. 22.. BBaassiicc CCoonncceeppttss 22..11.. TThhee ssoocckkeett iinntteerrffaaccee The PC Card bus has two basic operating modes: ``memory-only'' and ``memory and IO''. The first mode was defined by the original Version 1.0 specification and only supports simple memory cards. The second mode, defined in Version 2.0, redefines a few of the memory card control signals to support IO port addressing and IO interrupt signalling. PC Card devices have two memory spaces: ``attribute memory'' and ``common memory''. The interface can address up to 16MB of each type of memory. Attribute memory is typically used for holding descriptive information and configuration registers. Common memory may include the bulk storage of a memory card, or device buffers in the case of IO cards. All cards that are compliant with the version 2.0 PC Card specification should have a Card Information Structure (or ``CIS'') in attribute memory, which describes the card and how it should be configured. Separate control signals allow cards to signal their operating status to the host. These signals include card detect, ready/busy, write protect, battery low, and battery dead. The ``memory and IO'' interface mode allows cards to address up to 64K of IO ports. It also allows cards to signal IO interrupts, and routes one card output to the host system's speaker. In this mode, several of the memory card control signals are unavailable because those pins are used to carry the extra IO card signals. On some cards, these signals can instead be read from a special configuration register in attribute memory, the ``Pin Replacement Register''. 22..22.. TThhee ssoocckkeett ccoonnttrroolllleerr The socket controller serves as a bridge between PC Card devices and the system bus. There are several varieties of controllers, but all share the same basic functionality. The Socket Services software layer takes care of all the details of how to program the host controller. The socket controller has the job of mapping windows of addresses in the host memory and IO spaces to windows of addresses in card space. All supported controllers support at least four independent memory windows and two IO windows per socket. Each memory window is defined by a base address in the host address space, a base address in the card address space, and a window size. Some controllers differ in their alignment rules for memory windows, but all controllers will support windows whose size is at least 4K and also a power of two, and where the base address is a multiple of the window size. Each window can be programmed to point to either attribute or common memory. IO windows differ from memory windows in that host addresses that fall within an IO window are not modified before they are passed on to an IO card. Effectively, the base addresses of the window in the host and card address spaces are always equal. IO windows also have no alignment or size restrictions; an IO window can start and end on any byte boundary in the 64K IO address space. The PC Card bus defines a single interrupt signal from the card to the controller. The controller then has the responsibility of steering this interrupt to an appropriate interrupt request (``irq'') line. All controllers support steering card IO interrupts to essentially any free interrupt line. Because steering happens in the controller, the card itself is unaware of which interrupt it uses. All PC Card controllers can generate interrupts in response to card status changes. These interrupts are distinct from the IO interrupts generated by an IO card, and use a separate interrupt line. Signals that can generate interrupts include card detect, ready/busy, write protect, battery low, and battery dead. 33.. CCaarrdd SSeerrvviicceess SSuubbffuunnccttiioonn DDeessccrriippttiioonnss Card Services calls have the general form: #include "cs_types.h" #include "cs.h" int CardServices(int subfunc, void *arg1, void *arg2, ...); Some Card Services functions require additional #include statements. The particular subfunction determines the number of expected arguments. A return code of CS_SUCCESS indicates that a call succeeded. Other return codes indicate errors. 33..11.. CClliieenntt mmaannaaggeemmeenntt ffuunnccttiioonnss Device drivers that use Card Services functions are called ``clients''. A device driver should use the RegisterClient call to get a client handle before using other services. Most Card Services functions will take this client handle as an argument. Before unloading, drivers should also unregister with DeregisterClient. 33..11..11.. RReeggiisstteerrCClliieenntt int CardServices(RegisterClient, client_handle_t *client, client_reg_t *reg); The client_reg_t data structure is given by: typedef struct client_reg_t { dev_info_t *dev_info; u_int Attributes; u_int EventMask; int (*event_handler)(event_t event, int priority, event_callback_args_t *args); event_callback_args_t event_callback_args; u_int Version; } client_reg_t; RegisterClient establishes a link between a client driver and Card Services, and connects the client with an appropriate socket. The dev_info parameter is used by Card Services to match the client with a socket and function; this correspondence is normally established by Driver Services via a call to BindDevice. If successful, a client handle will be returned in client. The following flags can be specified in Attributes: INFO_MASTER_CLIENT For use only by the Driver Services client. Among other things, specifies that this client should not be automatically unbound when a card is ejected from this socket. INFO_IO_CLIENT Specifies that this client is an IO card driver. INFO_MTD_CLIENT Specifies that this client is a Memory Technology Driver. INFO_MEM_CLIENT Specifies that this client is a memory card driver. INFO_CARD_SHARE Included for compatibility, has no effect. INFO_CARD_EXCL Included for compatibility, has no effect. EventMask specifies what events this client should be notified of. The event_handler entry point will be called by Card Services when an event in EventMask is processed. The event_handler_args structure is a template for the structure that will be passed to the event handler. The Version parameter identifies the Card Services version level that this driver expects; it is currently ignored. A driver should be prepared to handle Card Services events before calling RegisterClient. This call will always generate a CS_REGISTRATION_COMPLETE event, and may also generate an artificial CS_CARD_INSERTION event if the socket is currently occupied. Return codes: CS_OUT_OF_RESOURCE An appropriate socket could not be found for this driver. 33..11..22.. DDeerreeggiisstteerrCClliieenntt int CardServices(DeregisterClient, client_handle_t client); DeregisterClient severs the connection between a client and Card Services. It should be called after the client has freed any resources it has allocated. Once a connection is broken, it cannot be reestablished until after another call to BindDevice. Return codes: CS_BAD_HANDLE The client handle is invalid. CS_IN_USE The client still has allocated resources, such as IO port windows or an interrupt, or the socket configuration is locked. 33..11..33.. SSeettEEvveennttMMaasskk int CardServices(SetEventMask, client_handle_t client, eventmask_t *mask); The eventmask_t structure is given by: typedef struct eventmask_t { u_int Attributes; u_int EventMask; } eventmask_t; SetEventMask updates the mask that determines which events this client will be notified of. Return codes: CS_BAD_HANDLE The client handle is invalid. 33..11..44.. BBiinnddDDeevviiccee int CardServices(BindDevice, bind_req_t *req); The bind_req structure is given by: typedef struct bind_req_t { socket_t Socket; u_char Function; dev_info_t *dev_info; } bind_req_t; BindDevice associates a device driver with a particular socket. It is normally called by Driver Services after a newly inserted card has been identified. Once a driver has been bound to a socket, it will be eligible to register as a client of that socket. Note that this call does not take a client handle as an argument. This is the only Card Services call that takes a socket number as an argument. The Function field specifies which function(s) of a multifunction card are to be bound to this driver. Function numbers correspond to entries in the card's CISTPL_LONGLINK_MFC tuple. If Function is set to BIND_FN_ALL, the driver will be bound to all card functions. A driver will only be able to access CIS tuples corresponding to functions for which it is bound. Return codes: CS_BAD_SOCKET The specified socket number is invalid. 33..22.. SSoocckkeett ssttaattee ccoonnttrrooll These functions are more or less concerned with getting and setting the current operating state of a socket. GetStatus returns the current socket state. ResetCard is used to send a hard reset signal to a socket. SuspendCard and ResumeCard can be used to power down and power up a socket without releasing the drivers currently bound to that socket. EjectCard and InsertCard essentially mimic real card ejection and insertion events. 33..22..11.. GGeettSSttaattuuss int CardServices(GetStatus, client_handle_t client, cs_status_t *status); The cs_status_t data structure is given by: typedef struct cs_status_t { u_char Function; u_int CardState; u_int SocketState; } cs_status_t; GetStatus returns the current status of a client's socket. For cards that are configured in IO mode, GetStatus uses the Pin Replacement Register and Extended Status Register to determine the card status. For normal clients, the Function field is ignored, but for clients bound with BIND_FN_ALL, this field specifies the function whose configuration registers should be used to determine the socket state, if the socket is currently configured. The following flags are defined in CardState: CS_EVENT_CARD_DETECT Specifies that the socket is occupied. CS_EVENT_CB_DETECT Specifies that the socket is occupied by a CardBus device. CS_EVENT_WRITE_PROTECT Specifies that the card is currently write protected. CS_EVENT_BATTERY_LOW Specifies that the card battery is low. CS_EVENT_BATTERY_DEAD Specifies that the card battery is dead. CS_EVENT_READY_CHANGE Specifies that the card is ready. CS_EVENT_PM_SUSPEND Specifies that the socket is suspended. CS_EVENT_REQUEST_ATTENTION Specifies that the request attention bit in the extended status register is set. CS_EVENT_CARD_INSERTION Specifies that a card insertion event is in progress. An insertion event will be sent to the client when socket setup is complete. CS_EVENT_3VCARD Indicates that the card supports 3.3V operation. CS_EVENT_XVCARD Indicates that the card supports ``X.X''V operation. The actual voltage is currently undefined in the specification. SocketState is currently unused, but in theory, it should latch changes in the state of the fields in CardState. Return codes: CS_BAD_HANDLE The client handle is invalid. 33..22..22.. RReesseettCCaarrdd int CardServices(ResetCard, client_handle_t client); ResetCard requests that a client's socket be reset. When this call is made, Card Services sends all clients a CS_EVENT_RESET_REQUEST event. If any client rejects the request, Card Services sends the initiating client a CS_EVENT_RESET_COMPLETE event with event_callback_args.info set to the return code of the client that rejected the request. If all clients agree to the request, Card Services sends a CS_EVENT_RESET_PHYSICAL event, then resets the socket. When the socket signals that it is ready, a CS_EVENT_CARD_RESET event is generated. Finally, a CS_EVENT_RESET_COMPLETE event is sent to the initiating client, with event_callback_args.info set to zero. Return codes: CS_BAD_HANDLE The client handle is invalid. CS_NO_CARD The socket assigned to this client is currently vacant. CS_IN_USE This socket is currently being reset. 33..22..33.. SSuussppeennddCCaarrdd int CardServices(SuspendCard, client_handle_t client); Card Services sends all clients CS_EVENT_PM_SUSPEND events, then shuts down and turns off power to the socket. Return codes: CS_BAD_HANDLE The client handle is invalid. CS_NO_CARD The socket assigned to this client is currently vacant. CS_IN_USE This socket is already suspended. 33..22..44.. RReessuummeeCCaarrdd int CardServices(ResumeCard, client_handle_t client); After restoring power to the socket, Card Services will notify all clients with CS_EVENT_PM_RESUME events. Return codes: CS_BAD_HANDLE The client handle is invalid. CS_NO_CARD The socket assigned to this client is currently vacant. CS_IN_USE This socket is not currently suspended. 33..22..55.. EEjjeeccttCCaarrdd int CardServices(EjectCard, client_handle_t client); Card Services sends eject events to all clients, then shuts down and turns off power to the socket. All clients except for Driver Services will be unlinked from the socket. Return codes: CS_BAD_HANDLE The client handle is invalid. CS_NO_CARD The socket assigned to this client is currently vacant. 33..22..66.. IInnsseerrttCCaarrdd int CardServices(InsertCard, client_handle_t client); Card Services sends insertion events to all clients of this socket (normally, only Driver Services). Return codes: CS_BAD_HANDLE The client handle is invalid. CS_NO_CARD The socket assigned to this client is currently vacant. CS_IN_USE The socket has already been configured. 33..33.. IIOO ccaarrdd ccoonnffiigguurraattiioonn ccaallllss The normal order of events is for a driver to reserve IO ports and an interrupt line with calls to RequestIO and RequestIRQ, then to call RequestConfiguration to actually configure the socket. If any of these calls fails, a driver should be sure to release any resources it successfully reserved. Multifunction cards can have separate configurations for each card function. However, the configurations do need to be consistent with one another. While each card function has its own set of configuration registers, each socket has only a single interrupt line and can only map two contiguous ranges of IO ports. CardBus cards are configured somewhat differently. The RequestIO and RequestConfiguration calls have similar roles, however, Card Services takes responsibility for most of the configuration details, and the contents of the request structures are ignored. 33..33..11.. RReeqquueessttIIOO int CardServices(RequestIO, client_handle_t client, io_req_t *req); The io_req_t data structure is given by: typedef struct io_req_t { ioaddr_t BasePort1; ioaddr_t NumPorts1; u_int Attributes1; ioaddr_t BasePort2; ioaddr_t NumPorts2; u_int Attributes2; u_int IOAddrLines; } io_req_t; RequestIO reserves IO port windows for a card. BasePort1 specifies the base IO port address of the window to be reserved. If NumPorts2 is non-zero, a second IO port window will also be reserved. IOAddrLines specifies the number of address lines that are actually decoded by the card. The IO port allocation algorithm assumes that any alias of the requested address(es) that preserves the lower IOAddrLines bits will be acceptable, and will update BasePort1 and BasePort2 to reflect the address range(s) actually assigned. Prior to release 3.1.4, the IOAddrLines field was ignored. The allocator always tried to assign the exact address range requested, unless the base address was zero; in that case, it would assign any available window aligned to the nearest power of two larger than the window size. The new allocator verifies that the IOAddrLines parameter agrees with the requested window parameters, and defaults to the pre-3.1.4 behavior if an inconsistency is found. With multifunction cards, this call will allocate IO ports for each card function in such a way that all a card's ports can be mapped by the two low-level IO port windows associated with each physical socket. For example, if the drivers for a hypothetical four-function card each attempt to allocate one IO window of 8 ports, Card Services will consolidate these into a single contiguous 32-port block. When this function is invoked by a CardBus client, the IO request structure is ignored. Instead, Card Services examines the card and allocates any necessary system resources: this includes IO and memory space, as well as an interrupt, if needed. One call will reserve all resources needed for all card functions, not just the function of the client making the call. This call does not actually configure a socket's IO windows: this is done by a subsequent call to RequestConfiguration. The following flags can be specified in Attributes1 and Attributes2: IO_DATA_PATH_WIDTH This field may either be IO_DATA_PATH_WIDTH_16 for 16-bit access, or IO_DATA_PATH_WIDTH_8 for 8-bit access, or IO_DATA_PATH_WIDTH_AUTO to dynamically size the bus based on the access size. Return codes: CS_BAD_HANDLE The client handle is invalid. CS_NO_CARD The socket assigned to this client is currently vacant. CS_IN_USE This socket's IO windows have already been reserved. CS_CONFIGURATION_LOCKED This socket's configuration has been locked by a call to RequestConfiguration. CS_BAD_ATTRIBUTE An unsupported attribute flag was specified. CS_UNSUPPORTED_FUNCTION For a CardBus client, this is returned if Card Services was not configured with CardBus support. 33..33..22.. RReelleeaasseeIIOO int CardServices(ReleaseIO, client_handle_t client, io_req_t *req); ReleaseIO un-reserves IO port windows allocated by a previous call to RequestIO. The req parameter should be the same one passed to RequestIO. If several card functions are sharing a larger IO port window, ports released by one function may not become available for other uses until all card functions have released their IO ports. For a CardBus client, this call releases all system resources allocated for this card. Return codes: CS_BAD_HANDLE The client handle is invalid. CS_CONFIGURATION_LOCKED This socket's configuration has been locked by a call to RequestConfiguration. The configuration should be released before calling ReleaseIO. CS_BAD_ARGS The parameters in req do not match the parameters passed to RequestIO. 33..33..33.. RReeqquueessttIIRRQQ int CardServices(RequestIRQ, client_handle_t client, irq_req_t *req); The irq_req_t structure is given by: typedef struct irq_req_t { u_int Attributes; u_int AssignedIRQ; u_int IRQInfo1, IRQInfo2; void *(Handler)(int, struct pt_regs *); void *Instance } irq_req_t; RequestIRQ reserves an interrupt line for use by a card. The IRQInfo1 and IRQInfo2 fields correspond to the interrupt description bytes in a CFTABLE_ENTRY tuple. If IRQ_INFO2_VALID is set in IRQInfo1, then IRQInfo2 is a bit-mapped mask of allowed interrupt values. Each bit corresponds to one interrupt line: bit 0 = irq 0, bit 1 = irq 1, etc. So, a mask of 0x1100 would mean that interrupts 12 and 8 could be used. If IRQ_INFO2_VALID is not set, IRQInfo1 is just the desired interrupt number. If the call is successful, the reserved interrupt is returned in AssignedIRQ. If the IRQ_HANDLER_PRESENT flag is set, then this call also specifies an interrupt handler to be installed when the interrupt is enabled. When RequestConfiguration is called, the handler given by Handler will be installed. For 2.0 and later kernels, the interrupt handler will be installed with the device ``instance'' given in Instance. For pre-2.1.60 kernels, the kernel irq2dev_map table will also be updated. With multifunction cards, the interrupt will be allocated in shared mode, and the handler(s) have responsibility for determining which card function(s) require attention when an interrupt is received. If a client instead bypasses Card Services to install its own interrupt service routine, it should allocate the interrupt in shared mode if this client could be bound to a multifunction card. The following flags can be specified in Attributes: IRQ_FORCED_PULSE Specifies that the interrupt should be configured for pulsed mode, rather than the default level mode. IRQ_TYPE_TIME Specifies that this interrupt can be time-shared with other Card Services drivers. Only one driver should enable the interrupt at any time. IRQ_FIRST_SHARED In conjunction with IRQ_TYPE_TIME, this should be set by the first driver requesting a shared interrupt. IRQ_HANDLER_PRESENT Indicates that the Handler field points to an interrupt service routine that should be installed. Return codes: CS_BAD_HANDLE The client handle is invalid. CS_NO_CARD The socket assigned to this client is currently vacant. CS_IN_USE An interrupt has already been reserved for this socket, or the requested interrupt is unavailable. CS_CONFIGURATION_LOCKED This card function's configuration has been locked by a call to RequestConfiguration. CS_BAD_ATTRIBUTE An unsupported attribute flag was specified. 33..33..44.. RReelleeaasseeIIRRQQ int CardServices(ReleaseIRQ, client_handle_t client, irq_req_t *req); ReleaseIRQ un-reserves an interrupt assigned by an earlier call to RequestIRQ. The req structure should be the same structure that was passed to RequestIRQ. If a handler was specified in the RequestIRQ call, it will be unregistered at this time. Return codes: CS_BAD_HANDLE The client handle is invalid. CS_CONFIGURATION_LOCKED This socket's configuration has been locked by a call to RequestConfiguration. The configuration should be released before calling ReleaseIRQ. CS_BAD_IRQ The parameters in req do not match the parameters passed to RequestIRQ. 33..33..55.. RReeqquueessttCCoonnffiigguurraattiioonn int CardServices(RequestConfiguration, client_handle_t client, config_req_t *req); The config_req_t structure is given by: typedef struct config_req_t { u_int Attributes; u_int Vcc, Vpp1, Vpp2; u_int IntType; u_int ConfigBase; u_char Status, Pin, Copy, ExtStatus; u_char ConfigIndex; u_int Present; } config_req_t; RequestConfiguration is responsible for actually configuring a socket. This includes setting voltages, setting CIS configuration registers, setting up IO port windows, and setting up interrupts. IntType specifies the type of interface to use for this card. It may be INT_MEMORY, INT_MEMORY_AND_IO, or INT_CARDBUS. Voltages are specified in units of 1/10 volt. Currently, Vpp1 must equal Vpp2. With multifunction cards, each card function is configured separately. Each function has its own set of CIS configuration registers. However, all functions must be configured with the same power and interface settings. When invoked by a CardBus client, most of the request structure is ignored, and all card functions will be configured based on data collected in a previous RequestIO call. This includes configuring the CardBus bridge, as well as initializing the Command, Base Address, and Interrupt Line registers in each card function's configuration space. IntType must be set to INT_CARDBUS in this case. The following flags can be specified in Attributes. DMA and speaker control are not supported on all systems. CONF_ENABLE_IRQ Enable the IO interrupt reserved by a previous call to RequestIRQ. CONF_ENABLE_DMA Enable DMA accesses for this socket. CONF_ENABLE_SPKR Enable speaker output from this socket. The Present parameter is a bit map specifying which CIS configuration registers are implemented by this card. ConfigBase gives the offset of the configuration registers in attribute memory. The following registers can be specified: PRESENT_OPTION Specifies that the Configuration Option Register is present. The COR register will be set using the ConfigIndex parameter. PRESENT_STATUS Specifies that the Card Configuration and Status Register is present. The CCSR will be initialized with the Status parameter. PRESENT_PIN_REPLACE Specifies that the Pin Replacement Register is present. The PRR will be initialized with the Pin parameter. PRESENT_COPY Specifies that the Socket and Copy Register is present. The SCR will be initialized with the Copy parameter. PRESENT_EXT_STATUS Specifies that the Extended Status Register is present. The ESR will be initialized with the ExtStatus parameter. Return codes: CS_BAD_HANDLE The client handle is invalid. CS_NO_CARD The socket assigned to this client is currently vacant. CS_OUT_OF_RESOURCE Card Services was unable to allocate a memory window to access the card's configuration registers. CS_CONFIGURATION_LOCKED This card's configuration has already been locked by another call to RequestConfiguration. CS_BAD_VCC The requested Vcc voltage is not supported. CS_BAD_VPP The requested Vpp1/Vpp2 voltage is not supported. CS_UNSUPPORTED_MODE A non-CardBus client attempted to configure a CardBus card, or a CardBus client attempted to configure a non-CardBus card. 33..33..66.. MMooddiiffyyCCoonnffiigguurraattiioonn int CardServices(ModifyConfiguration, client_handle_t client, modconf_t *mod); The modconf_t structure is given by: typedef struct modconf_t { u_int Attributes; u_int Vcc, Vpp1, Vpp2; } modconf_t; ModifyConfiguration modifies some attributes of a socket that has been configured by a call to RequestConfiguration. The following flags can be specified in Attributes: CONF_IRQ_CHANGE_VALID Indicates that the CONF_ENABLE_IRQ setting should be updated. CONF_ENABLE_IRQ Specifies that IO interrupts should be enabled for this socket. CONF_VCC_CHANGE_VALID Indicates that Vcc should be updated. CONF_VPP1_CHANGE_VALID Indicates that Vpp1 should be updated. CONF_VPP2_CHANGE_VALID Indicates that Vpp2 should be updated. Currently, Vpp1 and Vpp2 must always have the same value. So, the two values must always be changed at the same time. Return codes: CS_BAD_HANDLE The client handle is invalid. CS_NO_CARD The socket assigned to this client is currently vacant. CS_CONFIGURATION_LOCKED This actually means that this socket has nnoott been locked. CS_BAD_VCC The requested Vcc voltage is not supported.

Most fields will only be filled in if the socket is fully configured; the CONF_VALID_CLIENT flag in Attributes indicates this fact. For normal clients bound to a single card function, the Function field is ignored, and data for that client's assigned function is returned. For clients bound to BIND_FN_ALL, this field specifies which function's configuration data should be returned. For CardBus cards, the ConfigBase field is set to the card's PCI vendor/device ID, and the Option field is set to the CardBus PCI bus number.

CCaarrdd IInnffoorrmmaattiioonn SSttrruuccttuurree ((CCIISS)) ccaallllss The definition of the Card Information Structure (CIS) is the darkest chapter of the PC Card standard. All version 2 compliant cards should have a CIS, which describes the card and how it should be configured. The CIS is a linked list of ``tuples'' in the card's attribute memory space. Each tuple consists of an identification code, a length byte, and a series of data bytes. The layout of the data bytes for some tuple types is absurdly complicated, in an apparent effort to use every last bit. The ValidateCIS call checks to see if a card has a reasonable CIS. The GetFirstTuple and GetNextTuple calls are used to step through CIS tuple lists. GetTupleData extracts data bytes from a tuple. And ParseTuple unpacks most tuple types into more easily used forms. Finally, the ReplaceCIS call allows a client to provide Card Services with a substitute for the CIS found on the card. 33..44..11.. GGeettFFiirrssttTTuuppllee,, GGeettNNeexxttTTuuppllee #include "cistpl.h" int CardServices(GetFirstTuple, client_handle_t client, tuple_t *tuple); int CardServices(GetNextTuple, client_handle_t client, tuple_t *tuple); The tuple_t data structure is given by: typedef struct tuple_t { u_int Attributes; cis_data_t DesiredTuple; u_int Flags; cisdata_t TupleCode; u_int TupleLink; cisdata_t TupleOffset; cisdata_t TupleDataMax; cisdata_t TupleDataLen; cisdata_t *TupleData; } tuple_t; GetFirstTuple searches a card's CIS for the first tuple code matching DesiredTuple. The special code RETURN_FIRST_TUPLE will match the first tuple of any kind. If successful, TupleCode is set to the code of the first matching tuple found, and TupleLink is the address of this tuple in attribute memory. GetNextTuple is like GetFirstTuple, except that given a tuple_t structure returned by a previous call to GetFirstTuple or GetNextTuple, it will return the next tuple matching DesiredTuple. These functions will automatically traverse any link tuples found in the CIS. For multifunction cards having a CISTPL_LONGLINK_MFC tuple, these functions will automatically follow just the CIS chain specific to a client driver's assigned function. If a client was bound to BIND_FN_ALL, then all tuples will be returned. The following flags can be specified in Attributes: TUPLE_RETURN_LINK Indicates that link tuples (CISTPL_LONGLINK_A, CISTPL_LONGLINK_C, CISTPL_LONGLINK_MFC, CISTPL_NOLINK, CISTPL_LINKTARGET) should be returned. Normally these tuples are processed silently. TUPLE_RETURN_COMMON Indicates that tuples in the ``common'' CIS section of a multifunction CIS should be returned. In the absence of this flag, normally, Card Services will only return tuples specific to the function bound to the client. Return codes: CS_BAD_HANDLE The client handle is invalid. CS_OUT_OF_RESOURCE Card Services was unable to set up a memory window to map the card's CIS. CS_NO_MORE_ITEMS There were no tuples matching DesiredTuple. 33..44..22.. GGeettTTuupplleeDDaattaa #include "cistpl.h" int CardServices(GetTupleData, client_handle_t client, tuple_t *tuple); GetTupleData extracts a series of data bytes from the specified tuple, which must have been returned by a previous call to GetFirstTuple or GetNextTuple. A maximum of TupleDataMax bytes will be copied into the TupleData buffer, starting at an offset of TupleOffset bytes. The number of bytes copied is returned in TupleDataLen. Return codes: CS_BAD_HANDLE The client handle is invalid. CS_OUT_OF_RESOURCE Card Services was unable to set up a memory window to map the card's CIS. CS_NO_MORE_ITEMS The tuple does not contain any more data. TuppleOffset is greater than or equal to the length of the tuple. 33..44..33..

The structure returned depends on the type of the parsed tuple. See the cistpl.h file for these structure definitions; some of them are quite complex. Return codes: CS_BAD_TUPLE An error was encounted during parsing of this tuple. The tuple may be incomplete, or may be formatted incorrectly. CS_UNSUPPORTED_FUNCTION ParseTuple cannot parse the specified tuple type. 33..44..44.. VVaalliiddaatteeCCIISS int CardServices(ValidateCIS, client_handle_t client, cisinfo_t *cisinfo); The cisinfo_t structure is given by: typedef struct cisinfo_t { u_int Chains; } cisinfo_t; ValidateCIS attempts to verify that a card has a reasonable Card Information Structure. It returns the number of tuples found in Chains. If the CIS appears to be uninterpretable, Chains will be set to 0. Return codes: CS_BAD_HANDLE The client handle is invalid. CS_OUT_OF_RESOURCE Card Services was unable to set up a memory window to map the card's CIS. 33..44..55.. RReeppllaacceeCCIISS int CardServices(ReplaceCIS, client_handle_t client, cisdump_t *cisinfo); The cisdump_t structure is given by: typedef struct cisdump_t { u_int Length; cisdata_t Data[CISTPL_MAX_CIS_SIZE]; } cisinfo_t; ReplaceCIS allows a client to pass Card Services a replacement for the CIS found on a card. Its intended application is for cards with incomplete or inaccurate CIS information. If a correct CIS can be deduced from other information available for the card, this allows that information to be provided to clients in a clean fashion. The alternative is to pollute client source code with fixes targeted for each card with a CIS error. The replacement CIS remains in effect until the card is ejected, and all tuple-related services will use the replacement instead of the card's actual CIS. The Length field gives the number of bytes of CIS data in the Data array. The Data array can be considered to be just the even bytes of a card's attribute memory. It should contain all required features of a normal CIS, including an initial CISTPL_DEVICE tuple and a final CISTPL_END tuple. Long links (including CISTPL_LONGLINK_MFC) may be used: all target addresses are interpreted in the replacement CIS space. In general, a replacement CIS should also contain the same basic identification tuples (CISTPL_MANFID, CISTPL_VERS_1) as the original card. This service was added in release 3.0.1. Return codes: CS_BAD_HANDLE The client handle is invalid. CS_OUT_OF_RESOURCE Card Services was unable to allocate memory to hold the replacement CIS. 33..55.. MMeemmoorryy wwiinnddooww ccoonnttrrooll Each socket can have up to four active memory windows, mapping portions of card memory into the host system address space. A PC Card device can address at most 16MB of both common and attribute memory. Windows should typically be sized to a power of two. Depending on socket capabilities, they may need to be aligned on a boundary that is a multiple of the window size in both the host and card address spaces. A memory window is initialized by a call to RequestWindow. Some window attributes can be modified using ModifyWindow. The segment of card memory mapped to the window can be modified using MapMemPage. And windows are released with ReleaseWindow. Unlike almost all other Card Services subfunctions, the memory window functions normally act on window_handle_t handles, rather than client_handle_t handles. 33..55..11.. RReeqquueessttWWiinnddooww int CardServices(RequestWindow, client_handle_t *handle, win_req_t *req); The win_req_t structure is given by: typedef struct win_req_t { u_int Attributes; u_long Base; u_int Size; u_int AccessSpeed; } win_req_t; RequestWindow maps a window of card memory into system memory. On entry, the handle parameter should point to a valid client handle. On return, this will be replaced by a window_handle_t handle that should be used in subsequent calls to ModifyWindow, MapMemPage, and ReleaseWindow. The following flags can be specified in Attributes: WIN_MEMORY_TYPE This field can be either WIN_MEMORY_TYPE_CM for common memory, or WIN_MEMORY_TYPE_AM for attribute memory. WIN_DATA_WIDTH Either WIN_DATA_WIDTH_16 for 16-bit accesses, or WIN_DATA_WIDTH_8 for 8-bit access. WIN_ENABLE If this is set, the window is turned on. WIN_USE_WAIT Specifies that the controller should observe the card's MWAIT signal. WIN_MAP_BELOW_1MB Requests that the window be mapped below the 1MB address boundary. This may not be possible on some platforms. WIN_STRICT_ALIGN Requests that the window base be aligned to a multiple of the window size. Added in release 3.1.2. Base specifies the base physical address of the window in system memory. If zero, Card Services will set Base to the first available window address. Size specifies the window size in bytes. If zero, Card Services will set Size to the smallest window size supported by the host controller. AccessSpeed specifies the memory access speed, in nanoseconds. Return codes: CS_BAD_HANDLE The client handle is invalid. CS_NO_CARD The socket assigned to this client is currently vacant. CS_BAD_ATTRIBUTE An unsupported window attribute was requested. CS_OUT_OF_RESOURCE The maximum number of memory windows for this socket are already being used. CS_IN_USE RequestWindow was unable to find a free window of system memory.

The Offset field specifies the starting address of the memory region. The following fields are defined in Attributes: REGION_TYPE Either REGION_TYPE_CM for common memory, or REGION_TYPE_AM for attribute memory. The MediaID field is recorded by Card Services, and will be passed to the MTD as part of any request that references this memory region. Once an MTD is bound to a memory region by a call to RegisterMTD, it will remain bound until the MTD calls DeregisterClient. Return codes: CS_BAD_HANDLE The client handle is invalid. CS_BAD_OFFSET Either the offset does not match a valid memory region for this card, or another MTD has already registered for this region. 33..66..22..

CardOffset gives the starting address of a region. RegionSize gives the length of the region in bytes. AccessSpeed gives the device's cycle time in nanoseconds. BlockSize gives the erase block size in bytes, and PartMultiple gives the minimum granularity of partitions on this device, in units of BlockSize. JedecMfr and JedecInfo give the JEDEC identification bytes for this region. The following fields are defined in Attributes: REGION_TYPE Either REGION_TYPE_CM for common memory, or REGION_TYPE_AM for attribute memory.

The Offset field gives the offset of the operation from the start of the card memory region. The Count field gives the number of bytes to be transferred. The buf field points to a host memory buffer to be the destination for a ReadMemory operation, or the source for a WriteMemory operation. The following fields are defined in Attributes: MEM_OP_BUFFER Either MEM_OP_BUFFER_USER if the host buffer is in a user memory segment, or MEM_OP_BUFFER_KERNEL if the host buffer is in kernel memory.

ERASE_IDLE Set by the client to indicate that this entry is not active. ERASE_PASSED Set by the MTD to indicate successful completion. ERASE_FAILED Set by the MTD to indicate that the erase failed. ERASE_MEDIA_WRPROT Indicates that the region is write protected. ERASE_NOT_ERASABLE Indicates that this region does not support erase operations. ERASE_BAD_OFFSET Indicates that the erase does not start on an erase block boundary. ERASE_BAD_SIZE Indicates that the requested erase size is not a multiple of the erase block size. ERASE_BAD_SOCKET Set by the MTD to indicate that there is no card present. Additionally, the macro ERASE_IN_PROGRESS() will return a true condition for values of State that indicate an erase is being processed. The Size field gives the size of the erase request in bytes. The Offset field gives the offset from the start of the region. The size and offset should be aligned to erase block boundaries.

For clients bound to BIND_FN_ALL, this field specifies which function's configuration registers should be accessed. The Action parameter can be one of the following: CS_READ Read the specified configuration register and return Value. CS_WRITE Write Value to the specified configuration register. AccessConfigurationRegister either reads or writes the one-byte CIS configuration register at offset Offset from the start of the config register area. It can only be used for a socket that has been configured with RequestConfiguration. The following values for Offset are defined in cistpl.h: CISREG_COR The Configuration Option Register.

The normal Linux resource management systems (the *_region calls for IO ports, interrupt allocation) are respected by Card Services, but this call gives the user another level of control. The Action parameter can have the following values: ADD_MANAGED_RESOURCE Place the specified resource under Card Services control, so that it may be allocated by PC Card devices. REMOVE_MANAGED_RESOURCE Remove the specified resource from Card Services control. At initialization time, Card Services assumes that it can use all available interrupts, but IO ports and memory regions must be explicitly enabled with ADD_MANAGED_RESOURCE. The Resource parameter can have the following values: RES_MEMORY_RANGE Specifies a memory range resource, described by adj->resource.memory. RES_IO_RANGE Specifies an IO port resource, described by adj->resource.io. RES_IRQ Specifies an interrupt resource, described by adj->resource.irq. The following flags may be specified in Attributes: RES_RESERVED Indicates that the resource should be reserved for PC Card devices that specifically request it. The resource will not be allocated for a device that asks Card Services for any available location. This is not implemented yet.

CCIISS ccoonnffiigguurraattiioonn rreeggiisstteerr ddeeffiinniittiioonnss The PC Card standard defines a few standard configuration registers located in a card's attribute memory space. A card's CONFIG tuple specifies which of these registers are implemented. Programs using these definitions should include: #include "cisreg.h" 44..22..11.. CCoonnffiigguurraattiioonn OOppttiioonn RReeggiisstteerr This register should be present for virtually all IO cards. Writing to this register selects a configuration table entry and enables a card's IO functions. The following bit fields are defined: COR_CONFIG_MASK Specifies the configuration table index describing the card's current operating mode. COR_LEVEL_REQ Specifies that the card should generate level mode (edge- triggered) interrupts, the default. COR_SOFT_RESET Setting this bit performs a ``soft'' reset operation. Drivers should use the ResetCard call to reset a card, rather than writing directly to this register. 44..22..22.. CCaarrdd CCoonnffiigguurraattiioonn aanndd SSttaattuuss RReeggiisstteerr The following bit fields are defined: CCSR_INTR_ACK If this bit is set, then the CCSR_INTR_PENDING bit will remain set until it is explicitly cleared. CCSR_INTR_PENDING Signals that the card is currently asserting an interrupt request. This signal may be helpful for supporting interrupt sharing. CCSR_POWER_DOWN Setting this bit signals that the card should enter a power down state. CCSR_AUDIO_ENA Specifies that the card's audio output should be enabled. CCSR_IOIS8 This is used by the host to indicate that it can only perform 8-bit IO operations and that 16-bit accesses will be carried out as two 8-bit accesses. CCSR_SIGCHG_ENA This indicates to the card that it should use the SIGCHG signal to indicate changes in the WP, READY, BVD1, and BVD2 signals. CCSR_CHANGED This bit signals to the host that one of the signals in the Pin Replacement Register has changed state. 44..22..33.. PPiinn RReeppllaacceemmeenntt RReeggiisstteerr Signals in this register replace signals that are not available when a socket is operating in memory and IO mode. An IO card will normally assert the SIGCHG signal to indicate that one of these signals has changed state, then a driver can poll this register to find out specifically what happened. The following bit fields are defined: PRR_WP_STATUS The current state of the write protect signal. PRR_READY_STATUS The current state of the ready signal. PRR_BVD2_STATUS The current state of the battery warn signal. PRR_BVD1_STATUS The current state of the battery dead signal. PRR_WP_EVENT Indicates that the write protect signal has changed state since the PRR register was last read. PRR_READY_EVENT Indicates that the ready signal has changed state since the PRR register was last read. PRR_BVD2_EVENT Indicates that the battery warn signal has changed state since the PRR register was last read. PRR_BVD1_EVENT Indicates that the battery dead signal has changed state since the PRR register was last read. This register can also be written. In this case, the STATUS bits act as a mask; if a STATUS bit is set, the corresponding EVENT bit is updated by the write. 44..22..44.. SSoocckkeett aanndd CCooppyy RReeggiisstteerr This register is used when several identical cards may be set up to share the same range of IO ports, to emulate an ISA bus card that would control several devices. For example, an ISA hard drive controller might control several drives, selectable by writing a drive number to an IO port. For several card drives to emulate this controller interface, each needs to ``know'' which drive it is, so that it can identify which IO operations are intended for it. The following bit fields are defined: SCR_SOCKET_NUM This should indicate the socket number in which the card is located. SCR_COPY_NUM If several identical cards are installed in a system, this field should be set to a unique number identifying which of the identical cards this is. 44..22..55.. EExxtteennddeedd SSttaattuuss RReeggiisstteerr The following bit fields are defined: ESR_REQ_ATTN_ENA When set, the CCSR_CHANGED bit will be set when the ESR_REQ_ATTN bit is set, possibly generating a status change interrupt. ESR_REQ_ATTN Signals a card event, such as an incoming call for a modem. 44..22..66.. IIOO BBaassee aanndd SSiizzee RReeggiisstteerrss For multifunction cards, these registers are used to tell the card how the host IO windows have been configured for each card function. There are four IO Base registers, from CISREG_IOBASE_0 to CISREG_IOBASE_3, for the low-order through high-order bytes of an IO address up to 32 bits long. The CISREG_IOSIZE register is supposed to be written as the number of IO ports allocated, minus one. For MFC- compliant cards, Card Services will automatically set all of these registers when RequestConfiguration is called. 55.. CCaarrdd SSeerrvviicceess EEvveenntt HHaannddlliinngg Card Services events have several sources: +o Card status changes reported by the low-level socket drivers. +o Artificial events generated by Card Services itself. +o Advanced Power Management (APM) events. +o Events generated by other Card Services clients. Socket driver events may be either interrupt-driven or polled. 55..11.. EEvveenntt hhaannddlleerr ooppeerraattiioonnss When Card Services recognizes that an event has occurred, it checks the event mask of each client to determine which clients should receive an event notification. When a client registers with Card Services, it specifies an event handler callback function. This handler should have the form: int (*event_handler)(event_t event, int priority, event_callback_args_t *args); The priority parameter is set to either CS_EVENT_PRI_LOW for ordinary events, or CS_EVENT_PRI_HIGH for events that require an immediate response. The only high priority event is CS_EVENT_CARD_REMOVAL. A client event handler should process this event as efficiently as possible so that Card Services can quickly notify other clients. The event_callback_args_t structure is given by: typedef struct event_callback_args_t { client_handle_t client_handle; void *info; void *mtdrequest; void *buffer; void *misc; void *client_data; struct bus_operations *bus; } event_callback_args_t; The client_handle member is set to the handle of the client whose socket was responsible for the event. This is useful if a driver is bound to several sockets. The info field is currently only used to return an exit status from a call to ResetCard. The client_data field may be used by a driver to point to a local data structure associated with this device. The remaining fields are currently unused. For sockets that do not directly map cards into the host IO and memory space, the bus field is a pointer to a table of entry points for IO primitives for this socket. 55..22.. EEvveenntt ddeessccrriippttiioonnss CS_EVENT_CARD_INSERTION This event signals that a card has been inserted. If a driver is bound to an already occupied socket, Card Services will send the driver an artificial insertion event. CS_EVENT_CARD_REMOVAL This event signals that a card has been removed. This event should be handled with minimum delay so that Card Services can notify all clients as quickly as possible. CS_EVENT_BATTERY_LOW This event signals a change of state of the ``battery low'' signal. CS_EVENT_BATTERY_DEAD This event signals a change of state of the ``battery dead'' signal. CS_EVENT_READY_CHANGE This event signals a change of state of the ``ready'' signal. CS_EVENT_WRITE_PROTECT This event signals a change of state of the ``write protect'' signal. CS_EVENT_REGISTRATION_COMPLETE This event is sent to a driver after a successful call to RegisterClient. CS_EVENT_RESET_REQUEST This event is sent when a client calls ResetCard. An event handler can veto the reset operation by returning failure. CS_EVENT_RESET_PHYSICAL This is sent to all clients just before a reset signal is sent to a card. CS_EVENT_CARD_RESET This event signals that a reset operation is finished. The success or failure of the reset should be determined using GetStatus. CS_EVENT_RESET_COMPLETE This event is sent to a client that has called ResetCard to signal the end of reset processing. CS_EVENT_PM_SUSPEND This event signals that Card Services has received either a user initiated or APM suspend request. An event handler can veto the suspend by returning failure. CS_EVENT_PM_RESUME This signals that the system is back on line after a suspend/resume cycle. CS_EVENT_MTD_REQUEST This is used to initiate an MTD memory operation. A description of the request is passed in the mtdrequest field of the callback arguments. A host buffer address may be passed in buffer. CS_EVENT_ERASE_COMPLETE This is used to signal a client that a queued erase operation has completed. A pointer to the erase queue entry is returned in the info field of the callback arguments. 55..33.. CClliieenntt ddrriivveerr eevveenntt hhaannddlliinngg rreessppoonnssiibbiilliittiieess A client driver should respond to CS_EVENT_CARD_INSERTION and CS_EVENT_CARD_REMOVAL events by configuring and un-configuring the socket. Because card removal is a high priority event, the driver should immediately block IO to the socket, perhaps by setting a flag in a device structure, and schedule all other shutdown processing to happen later using a timer interrupt. When a CS_EVENT_PM_RESET_REQUEST event is received, a driver should block IO and release a locked socket configuration. When a CS_EVENT_CARD_RESET is received, a driver should restore the socket configuration and unblock IO. A CS_EVENT_PM_SUSPEND event should be handled somewhat like a CS_EVENT_PM_RESET_REQUEST event, in that IO should be blocked and the socket configuration should be released. When a CS_EVENT_PM_RESUME event is received, a driver can expect a card to be ready to be reconfigured, similar to when a CS_EVENT_CARD_RESET event is received. 66.. MMeemmoorryy TTeecchhnnoollooggyy DDrriivveerrss A Memory Technology Driver (``MTD'') is used by Card Services to implement bulk memory services for a particular type of memory device. An MTD should register as a normal Card Services client with a call to RegisterClient. When it receives a card insertion event, it should use GetFirstRegion and GetNextRegion to identify memory regions that it will administer. Then, it should use RegisterMTD to take control of these regions. MTD read, write, copy, and erase requests are packaged into CS_EVENT_MTD_REQUEST events by Card Services, and passed to the MTD's event handler for processing. 66..11.. MMTTDD rreeqquueesstt hhaannddlliinngg An MTD receives requests from Card Services in the form of CS_EVENT_MTD_REQUEST events. Card Services passes a description of the request in the mtdrequest field of the event callback arguments. For requests that transfer data to or from the host, the host buffer address is passed in the buffer field. The mtd_request_t structure is given by: typedef struct mtd_request_t { u_int SrcCardOffset; u_int DestCardOffset; u_int TransferLength; u_int Function; u_long MediaID; u_int Status; u_int Timeout; } mtd_request_t; The Function field is bit mapped and describes the action to be performed by this request: MTD_REQ_ACTION Either MTD_REQ_ERASE, MTD_REQ_READ, MTD_REQ_WRITE, or MTD_REQ_COPY. MTD_REQ_NOERASE For a write command that is sized and aligned on erase block boundaries, this specifies that no erase should be performed. MTD_REQ_VERIFY Specifies that writes should be verified. MTD_REQ_READY Indicates that this request is a retry of a previously request that was delayed until the card asserted READY. MTD_REQ_TIMEOUT Indicates that this request is a retry of a previously request that was delayed by a timeout. MTD_REQ_FIRST Indicates that this request is the first in a series of requests. MTD_REQ_LAST Indicates that this request is the last of a series of requests. MTD_REQ_KERNEL Indicates that the host buffer for a read or write command is located in kernel memory, as opposed to user memory. The MediaID field is the value specified in the RegisterMTD request for this region. The Status field is used by the MTD when it is unable to satisfy a request because a device is busy. MTD requests normally run without blocking. If an MTD request would block, it should return an error code of CS_BUSY, and set Status to one of the have the following values: MTD_WAITREQ Specifies that the request should be retried after another MTD request currently in progress completes. MTD_WAITTIMER Specifies that the request should be continued after the time specified in the timeout field. MTD_WAITRDY Specifies that the request should be continued when the card signals READY, or when the time specified in Timeout elapses, whichever happens first. MTD_WAITPOWER Specifies that the request should be retried after something happens that affects power availability to the socket. For MTD_WAITTIMER and MTD_WAITRDY, the Timeout field will specify the timeout interval in milliseconds. 66..22.. MMTTDD hheellppeerr ffuunnccttiioonnss Since an MTD processes requests generated by Card Services, there may be some restrictions on the sorts of Card Services calls that can be safely made from the MTD event handler. The MTD helper functions provide a limited set of special services that may be needed by an MTD but would be tricky to implement using the normal Card Services calls. In the Linux implementation, most CS calls can be safely made from an MTD event handler, but the MTD helper interface is included for compatibility. #include "cs_types.h" #include "cs.h" #include "bulkmem.h" int MTDHelperEntry(int subfunc, void *arg1, void *arg2); 66..22..11..

The following flags can be specified in Attributes: WIN_MEMORY_TYPE Either WIN_MEMORY_TYPE_CM for common memory, or WIN_MEMORY_TYPE_AM for attribute memory.

DDrriivveerr SSeerrvviicceess IInntteerrffaaccee Driver Services provides a link between Card Services client drivers and user mode utilities like the cardmgr daemon. It is a sort of Card Services ``super-client''. Driver Services uses the BindDevice function to link other client drivers with their corresponding cards. Unlike other clients, Driver Services remains permanently bound to all sockets as cards are inserted and removed. 77..11.. IInntteerrffaaccee ttoo ootthheerr cclliieenntt ddrriivveerrss Driver Services keeps track of all client drivers that are installed and ready to attach to a socket. Client drivers need to have entry points for creating and deleting device ``instances'', where one device instance is everything needed to manage one physical card. Each client driver is identified by a unique 16-character tag that has the special type dev_info_t, defined in cs_types.h. Each device instance is described by a dev_link_t structure. 77..11..11.. TThhee ddeevv__lliinnkk__tt ssttrruuccttuurree The dev_node_t and dev_link_t data structures are given by: #include "ds.h" typedef struct dev_node_t { char dev_name[DEV_NAME_LEN]; u_char major, minor; struct dev_node_t *next; } typedef struct dev_link_t { dev_node_t *dev; u_int state, open; struct wait_queue *pending struct timer_list release client_handle_t handle; io_req_t io; irq_req_t irq; config_req_t conf; window_handle_t win; void *priv; struct dev_link_t *next; } dev_link_t; The dev field of the dev_link_t structure points to a linked list of dev_node_t structures. In dev_node_t, the dev_name field should be filled in by the driver with a device file name for accessing this device, if appropriate. For example, the serial_cs driver uses names like ``ttyS1''. The major and minor fields give major and minor device numbers for accessing this device. Driver Services relays these fields to user mode programs via the DS_GET_DEVICE_INFO ioctl. In dev_link_t, the state field should be used to keep track of the current device state. The following flags are defined: DEV_PRESENT Indicates that the card is present. This bit should be set and cleared by the driver's event handler in response to card insertion and removal events. DEV_CONFIG Indicates that the card is configured for use. DEV_CONFIG_PENDING Indicates that configuration is in progress. DEV_SUSPEND Indicates that the card is suspended. DEV_BUSY Indicates that an IO operation is in progress. This bit may be used as an interlock to prevent access conflicts. DEV_STALE_CONFIG For some drivers, when a running card is ejected, the socket should not be unconfigured until any devices corresponding to this card are closed. This flag indicates that the socket should be unconfigured when the device is closed. DEV_STALE_LINK A driver instance should not be deleted until all its resources are released. This flag indicates that this driver instance should be freed as soon as the socket is unconfigured. The open field is a usage count for this device. The device should only be freed when the open count is zero. The pending field can be used to manage a queue of processes waiting to use the device. The release field is used to schedule device shutdown processing when a card is ejected. A card removal event needs to be handled at high priority, so a driver's event handler will typically deal with an eject by resetting the DEV_PRESENT bit in the device state, then scheduling the shutdown processing to run at a later time. The handle, io, irq, conf, and win fields comprise all the normal data structures needed to configure an ordinary PC Card IO device The priv field can be used for any sort of private data structure needed to manage the device. The next field can be used to build linked lists of dev_link_t structures, for drivers that can handle multiple instances. 77..11..22.. rreeggiisstteerr__ppccccaarrdd__ddrriivveerr int register_pccard_driver(dev_info_t *dev_info, dev_link_t *(*attach)(void), void (*detach)(dev_link_t *)); register_pccard_driver informs Driver Services that a client driver is present and ready to be bound to sockets. When Driver Services receives a DS_BIND_REQUEST ioctl that matches this driver's dev_info string, it will call the driver's attach() entry point. When it gets a DS_UNBIND_REQUEST ioctl, it will call detach(). 77..11..33.. uunnrreeggiisstteerr__ppccccaarrdd__ddrriivveerr int unregister_pccard_driver(dev_info_t *dev_info); This informs Driver Services that it should no longer bind sockets to the specified client driver. 77..22.. TThhee CCaarrddBBuuss cclliieenntt iinntteerrffaaccee The CardBus card interface is designed to be essentially an extension of the PCI bus. CardBus cards are typically designed using standard PCI chip sets. For simplicity in the client drivers, and maximum code sharing with regular kernel PCI drivers, we provide a sort of ``super client'' for configuring CardBus cards. This is implemented in the cb_enabler module. The cb_enabler module is somewhat similar in philosophy to the Driver Services layer for 16-bit cards. CardBus client drivers register with it, and provide a few entry points for handling device setup and shutdown, as well as power management handling. The cb_enabler module takes care of configuring the card and fielding Card Services events. So, all CardBus-specific code is in the enabler rather than the PCI driver. It is not mandatory for CardBus clients to use the cb_enabler interface. If a particular client requires more direct control over its CardBus configuration than is provided through the cb_enabler module, it can register directly with Card Services and perform Card Services calls directly, just like a 16-bit client. The cb_enabler module has two entry points: register_driver and unregister_driver. At some point, these functions may migrate into the kernel: hence the generic names. 77..22..11.. rreeggiisstteerr__ddrriivveerr int register_driver(struct driver_operations *ops); The driver_operations structure is given by: typedef struct driver_operations { char *name dev_node_t *(*attach) (dev_locator_t *loc); void (*suspend) (dev_node_t *dev); void (*resume) (dev_node_t *dev); void (*detach) (dev_node_t *dev); } driver_operations; The name field is used by cb_enabler when registering this client with Card Services. The rest of the structure describes a set of event handlers for this client. The function returns 0 on success, and -1 on failure. 77..22..22.. uunnrreeggiisstteerr__ddrriivveerr void unregister_driver(struct driver_operations *ops); The ops parameter should be the same structure pointer passed to a prior successful call to register_driver. The client should take care to only call this function when no devices are currently being managed by this client. 77..22..33.. TThhee ddrriivveerr__ooppeerraattiioonnss eennttrryy ppooiinnttss The attach() entry point is used to configure a single device, given a ``device locator'' structure describing where to find it. The dev_locator_t structure is given by: typedef struct dev_locator_t { enum { LOC_ISA, LOC_PCI } bus; union { struct { u_short io_base_1, io_base_2; u_long mem_base; u_char irq, dma; } isa; struct { u_char bus; u_char devfn; } pci; } b; } dev_locator_t; The attach() function should return either NULL or a valid dev_node_t structure describing the new device. All the other entry points will use this pointer to identify the device to be manipulated. The cb_enabler module will invoke the attach() and detach() entry points in response to card insertion and removal events. The suspend() and resume() entry points will be called in response to power management events. There is no way for a driver to refuse a suspend() or detach() event. When a detach() event is received, the driver should block any subsequent IO to the specified device, but may preserve internal data structures until the kernel device is actually closed. 77..33.. IInntteerrffaaccee ttoo uusseerr mmooddee uuttiilliittiieess Driver Services creates a pseudo-device for communicating with user mode PC Card utilities. The major number of the device is chosen dynamically, and PC Card utilities should read /proc/devices to determine it. Minor device numbers correspond to socket numbers, starting with 0. Only one process is allowed to open a socket for read/write access. Other processes can open the socket in read-only mode. A read-only connection to Driver Services can perform a subset of ioctl calls. A read/write connection can issue all ioctl calls, and can also receive Card Services event notifications. 77..33..11.. CCaarrdd SSeerrvviicceess eevveenntt nnoottiiffiiccaattiioonnss Driver Services implements read() and select() functions for event notification. Reading from a PC Card device returns an unsigned long value containing all the events received by Driver Services since the previous read(). If no events have been received, the call will block until the next event. A select() call can be used to monitor several sockets for new events. The following events are monitored by Driver Services: CS_EVENT_CARD_INSERTION, CS_EVENT_CARD_REMOVAL, CS_EVENT_RESET_PHYSICAL, CS_EVENT_CARD_RESET, and CS_EVENT_RESET_COMPLETE. 77..33..22.. IIooccttll ddeessccrriippttiioonnss Most Driver Services ioctl operations directly map to Card Services functions. An ioctl call has the form: int ioctl(int fd, int cmd, ds_ioctl_arg_t *arg); The ds_ioctl_arg_t structure is given by: typedef union ds_ioctl_arg_t { servinfo_t servinfo; adjust_t adjust; config_info_t config; tuple_t tuple; tuple_parse_t tuple_parse; client_req_t client_req; status_t status; conf_reg_t conf_reg; cisinfo_t cisinfo; region_info_t region; bind_info_t bind_info; mtd_info_t mtd_info; cisdump_t cisdump; } ds_ioctl_arg_t; The following ioctl commands execute the corresponding Card Services function: DS_GET_CARD_SERVICES_INFO Calls CardServices(GetCardServicesInfo, ..., &arg->servinfo). DS_ADJUST_RESOURCE_INFO Calls CardServices(AdjustResourceInfo, ..., &arg->adjust). DS_GET_CONFIGURATION_INFO Calls CardServices(GetConfigurationInfo, ..., &arg->config). DS_GET_FIRST_TUPLE Calls CardServices(GetFirstTuple, ..., &arg->tuple). DS_GET_NEXT_TUPLE Calls CardServices(GetNextTuple, ..., &arg->tuple). DS_GET_TUPLE_DATA Calls CardServices(GetTupleData, ..., &arg->tuple_parse.tuple). The tuple data is returned in arg->tuple_parse.data. DS_PARSE_TUPLE Calls CardServices(ParseTuple, ..., &arg->tuple_parse.tuple, &arg->tuple_parse.parse). DS_RESET_CARD Calls CardServices(ResetCard, ...). DS_GET_STATUS Calls CardServices(GetStatus, ..., &arg->status). DS_ACCESS_CONFIGURATION_REGISTER Calls CardServices(AccessConfigurationRegister, ..., &arg->conf_reg). DS_VALIDATE_CIS Calls CardServices(ValidateCIS, ..., &arg->cisinfo). DS_SUSPEND_CARD Calls CardServices(SuspendCard, ...). DS_RESUME_CARD Calls CardServices(ResumeCard, ...).

DS_GET_NEXT_REGION Calls CardServices(GetNextRegion, ..., &arg->region). DS_REPLACE_CIS Calls CardServices(ReplaceCIS, ..., &arg->cisdump). The following ioctl commands invoke special Driver Services functions. They act on bind_info_t structures: typedef struct bind_info_t { dev_info_t dev_info; u_char function; struct dev_info_t *instance; char name[DEV_NAME_LEN]; u_char major, minor; void *next; } bind_info_t; DS_BIND_REQUEST This call connects a socket to a client driver. The specified device ID dev_info is looked up in the list of registered drivers. If this is a multifunction card, the function field identifies which card function is being bound. If found, the driver is bound to this socket and function using the BindDevice call. Then, Driver Services calls the client driver's attach() entry point to create a device instance. The new dev_link_t pointer is returned in instance. DS_GET_DEVICE_INFO This call retrieves the dev_name, major, and minor entries from the dev_link_t structure pointed to by instance. DS_UNBIND_REQUEST This call calls the detach() function for the specified driver and instance, shutting down this device. Finally, the DS_BIND_MTD request takes an argument of type mtd_info_t: typedef struct mtd_info_t { dev_info_t dev_info; u_int Attributes; u_int CardOffset; } mtd_info_t; This call associates an MTD identified by dev_info with a memory region described by Attributes and CardOffset, which have the same meanings as in the Card Services BindMTD call. 88.. AAnnaattoommyy ooff aa CCaarrdd SSeerrvviicceess CClliieenntt DDrriivveerr Each release of the Linux Card Services package comes with a well- commented ``dummy'' client driver that should be used as a starting point for writing a new driver. Look for it in clients/dummy_cs.c. This is not just a piece of sample code: it is written to function as a sort of generic card enabler. If bound to an IO card, it will read the card's CIS and configure the card appropriately, assuming that the card's CIS is complete and accurate. 88..11.. MMoodduullee iinniittiiaalliizzaattiioonn aanndd cclleeaannuupp All loadable modules must supply init_module() and cleanup_module() functions, which are invoked by the module support code when the module is installed and removed. A client driver's init function should register the driver with Driver Services, via the register_pccard_driver() call. The cleanup function should use unregister_pccard_driver() to unregister with Driver Services. Depending on the driver, the cleanup function may also need to free any device structures that still exist at shutdown time. 88..22.. TThhee **__aattttaacchh(()) aanndd **__ddeettaacchh(()) ffuunnccttiioonnss The *_attach() entry point is responsible for creating an ``instance'' of the driver, setting up any data structures needed to manage one card. The *_attach() function should allocate and initialize a dev_link_t structure, and call RegisterClient to establish a link with Card Services. It returns a pointer to the new dev_link_t structure, or NULL if the new instance could not be created. The *_detach() entry point deletes a driver instance created by a previous call to *_attach. It also breaks the link with Card Services, using DeregisterClient. The *_attach() entry point is called by Driver Services when a card has been successfully identified and mapped to a matching driver by a DS_BIND_REQUEST ioctl(). The *_detach() entry point is called in response to a DS_UNBIND_REQUEST ioctl() call. 88..33.. TThhee **__ccoonnffiigg(()) aanndd **__rreelleeaassee(()) ffuunnccttiioonnss The *_config() function is called to prepare a card for IO. Most drivers read some configuration details from the card itsef, but most have at least some built-in knowledge of how the device should be set up. For example, the serial card driver reads a card's CFTABLE_ENTRY tuples to determine appropriate IO port base addresses and corresponding configuration indices, but the driver ignores the interrupt information in the CIS. The *_config function will parse relevant parts of a card's CIS, then make calls to RequestIO, RequestIRQ, and/or RequestWindow, then call RequestConfiguration. When a card is successfully configured, the *_config() routine should fill in the dev_name, major, and minor fields in the dev_link_t structure. These fields will be returned to user programs by Driver Services in response to a DS_GET_DEVICE_INFO ioctl(). The *_release() function should release any resource allocated by a previous call to *_config(), and blank out the device's dev_name field. The *_config() and *_release functions are normally called in response to card status change events or from timer interrupts. Thus, they cannot sleep, and should not call other kernel functions that might block. 88..44.. TThhee cclliieenntt eevveenntt hhaannddlleerr The *_event() entry point is called from Card Services to notify a driver of card status change events. 88..55.. LLoocckkiinngg aanndd ssyynncchhrroonniizzaattiioonn iissssuueess A configured socket should only be released when all associated devices are closed. Releasing a socket allows its system resources to be allocated for use by another device. If the released resources are reallocated while IO to the original device is still in progress, the original driver may interfere with use of the new device. A driver instance should only be freed after its corresponding socket configuration has been released. Card Services requires that a client explicitly release any allocated resources before a call to DeregisterClient will succeed. All loadable modules have a ``use count'' that is used by the system to determine when it is safe to unload a module. The convention in client drivers is to increment the use count when a device is opened, and to decrement the count when a device is closed. So, a driver can be unloaded whenever all associated devices are closed. in particular, a driver can be unloaded even if it is still bound to a socket, and the module cleanup code needs to be able to appropriately free any such resources that are still allocated. This should always be safe, because if the driver has a use count of zero, all devices are closed, which means all active sockets can be released, and all device instances can be detached. If a driver's *_release() function is called while a device is still open, it should set the DEV_STALE_CONFIG flag in the device state, to signal that the device should be released when the driver's close() function is called. If *_detach() is called for a configured device, the DEV_STALE_LINK flag should be set to signal that the instance should be detached when the *_release() function is called. 88..66.. UUssiinngg eexxiissttiinngg LLiinnuuxx ddrriivveerrss ttoo aacccceessss PPCC CCaarrdd ddeevviicceess Many of the current client drivers use existing Linux driver code to perform device IO operations. The Card Services client module handles card configuration and responds to card status change events, but delegates device IO to a compatible driver for a conventional ISA bus card. In some cases, a conventional driver can be used without modification. However, to fully support PC Card features like hot swapping and power management, there needs to be some communication between the PC Card client code and the device IO code. Most Linux drivers expect to probe for devices at boot time, and are not designed to handle adding and removing devices. One side-effect of the move towards driver modularization is that it is usually easier to adapt a modularized driver to handle removable devices. It is important that a device driver be able to recover from having a device disappear at an inappropriate time. At best, the driver should check for device presence before attempting any IO operation or before handling an IO interrupt. Loops that check device status should have timeouts so they will eventually exit if a device never responds. The dummy_cs driver may be useful for loading legacy drivers for compatible PC Card devices. After binding dummy_cs to a card, the legacy driver module may be able to detect and communicate with the device as if it were not a PC Card. This arrangement will generally not support clean hot swapping or power management functions, however it may be useful as a basis for later developing a more full-featured client driver. 99..

SSuuppppoorrttiinngg uunnuussuuaall ssoocckkeett aarrcchhiitteeccttuurreess The Socket Services interface is oriented towards socket controllers that allow PCMCIA cards to be configured to mimic native system devices with the same functionality. The ExCA standard specifies that socket controllers should provide two IO and five memory windows per socket, which can be independently configured and positioned in the host address space and mapped to arbitrary segments of card address space. Some controllers and architectures do not provide this level of functionality. In these situations, Socket Services can effectively virtualize the socket interface for client drivers. On the client side (including internal Card Services uses), to use the virtualized socket interface, code must first specify: #include "pcmcia/bus_ops.h" All IO operations then need to be replaced with new bus-neutral forms. The following functions need to be virtualized: +o inb, inw, inl, inw_ns, inl_ns +o insb, insw, insl, insw_ns, insl_ns +o outb, outw, outl, outw_ns, outl_ns +o outsb, outsw, outsl, outsw_ns, outsl_ns +o readb, readw, readl, readw_ns, readl_ns +o writeb, writew, writel, writew_ns, writel_ns +o ioremap, iounmap +o memcpy_fromio, memcpy_toio +o request_irq, free_irq The bus-neutral functions have a prefix of ``bus_'', with a new first argument, the bus operations table pointer returned by SS_InquireSocket. For example, inb(port) should be replaced with bus_inb(bus, port). All the IO primitives are defined as macros that call entry points in the bus operations table. There is not a one-to-one mapping from IO primitives to bus operation entry points. The bus operations table is defined as: typedef struct bus_operations { void *priv; u32 (*b_in)(void *bus, u32 port, s32 sz); void (*b_ins)(void *bus, u32 port, void *buf, u32 count, s32 sz); void (*b_out)(void *bus, u32 val, u32 port, s32 sz); void (*b_outs)(void *bus, u32 port, void *buf, u32 count, s32 sz); void *(*b_ioremap)(void *bus, u_long ofs, u_long sz); void (*b_iounmap)(void *bus, void *addr); u32 (*b_read)(void *bus, void *addr, s32 sz); void (*b_write)(void *bus, u32 val, void *addr, s32 sz); void (*b_copy_from)(void *bus, void *d, void *s, u32 count); void (*b_copy_to)(void *bus, void *d, void *s, u32 count); int (*b_request_irq)(void *bus, u_int irq, void (*handler)(int, void *, struct pt_regs *), u_long flags, const char *device, void *dev_id); void (*b_free_irq)(void *bus, u_int irq, void *dev_id); } bus_operations; The priv field can be used for any purpose by the socket driver, for instance, to indicate which of several sockets is being addressed. The b_in, b_out, b_read, and b_write entry points each support byte, word, and dword operations, either byte-swapped or unswapped. The sz parameter is 0, 1, or 2 for byte, word, or dword accesses; -1 and -2 select word and dword unswapped accesses. 1100..
