Each low-level driver handles a particular style of port 67(PC, Amiga, and so on). 68 69The parport interface to the device driver author can be broken down 70into global functions and port functions. 71 72The global functions are mostly for communicating between the device 73driver and the parport subsystem: acquiring a list of available ports, 74claiming a port for exclusive use, and so on. They also include 75``generic`` functions for doing standard things that will work on any 76IEEE 1284-capable architecture. 77 78The port functions are provided by the low-level drivers, although the 79core parport module provides generic ``defaults`` for some routines. 80The port functions can be split into three groups: SPP, EPP, and ECP. 81 82SPP (Standard Parallel Port) functions modify so-called ``SPP`` 83registers: data, status, and control. The hardware may not actually 84have registers exactly like that, but the PC does and this interface is 85modelled after common PC implementations. Other low-level drivers may 86be able to emulate most of the functionality. 87 88EPP (Enhanced Parallel Port) functions are provided for reading and 89writing in IEEE 1284 EPP mode, and ECP (Extended Capabilities Port) 90functions are used for IEEE 1284 ECP mode. (What about BECP? Does 91anyone care?) 92 93Hardware assistance for EPP and/or ECP transfers may or may not be 94available, and if it is available it may or may not be used. If 95hardware is not used, the transfer will be software-driven. In order 96to cope with peripherals that only tenuously support IEEE 1284, a 97low-level driver specific function is provided, for altering 'fudge 98factors'. 99 100Global functions 101================ 102 103parport_register_driver - register a device driver with parport 104--------------------------------------------------------------- 105 106SYNOPSIS 107^^^^^^^^ 108 109:: 110 111 #include <linux/parport.h> 112 113 struct parport_driver { 114 const char *name; 115 void (*attach) (struct parport *); 116 void (*detach) (struct parport *); 117 struct parport_driver *next; 118 }; 119 int parport_register_driver (struct parport_driver *driver); 120 121DESCRIPTION 122^^^^^^^^^^^ 123 124In order to be notified about parallel ports when they are detected, 125parport_register_driver should be called. Your driver will 126immediately be notified of all ports that have already been detected, 127and of each new port as low-level drivers are loaded. 128 129A ``struct parport_driver`` contains the textual name of your driver, 130a pointer to a function to handle new ports, and a pointer to a 131function to handle ports going away due to a low-level driver 132unloading. Ports will only be detached if they are not being used 133(i.e. there are no devices registered on them). 134 135The visible parts of the ``struct parport *`` argument given to 136attach/detach are:: 137 138 struct parport 139 { 140 struct parport *next; /* next parport in list */ 141 const char *name; /* port's name */ 142 unsigned int modes; /* bitfield of hardware modes */ 143 struct parport_device_info probe_info; 144 /* IEEE1284 info */ 145 int number; /* parport index */ 146 struct parport_operations *ops; 147 ... 148 }; 149 150There are other members of the structure, but they should not be 151touched. 152 153The ``modes`` member summarises the capabilities of the underlying 154hardware. It consists of flags which may be bitwise-ored together: 155 156 ============================= =============================================== 157 PARPORT_MODE_PCSPP IBM PC registers are available, 158 i.e. functions that act on data, 159 control and status registers are 160 probably writing directly to the 161 hardware. 162 PARPORT_MODE_TRISTATE The data drivers may be turned off. 163 This allows the data lines to be used 164 for reverse (peripheral to host) 165 transfers. 166 PARPORT_MODE_COMPAT The hardware can assist with 167 compatibility-mode (printer) 168 transfers, i.e. compat_write_block. 169 PARPORT_MODE_EPP The hardware can assist with EPP 170 transfers. 171 PARPORT_MODE_ECP The hardware can assist with ECP 172 transfers. 173 PARPORT_MODE_DMA The hardware can use DMA, so you might 174 want to pass ISA DMA-able memory 175 (i.e. memory allocated using the 176 GFP_DMA flag with kmalloc) to the 177 low-level driver in order to take 178 advantage of it. 179 ============================= =============================================== 180 181There may be other flags in ``modes`` as well. 182 183The contents of ``modes`` is advisory only. For example, if the 184hardware is capable of DMA, and PARPORT_MODE_DMA is in ``modes``, it 185doesn't necessarily mean that DMA will always be used when possible. 186Similarly, hardware that is capable of assisting ECP transfers won't 187necessarily be used. 188 189RETURN VALUE 190^^^^^^^^^^^^ 191 192Zero on success, otherwise an error code. 193 194ERRORS 195^^^^^^ 196 197None.

Once you have done that, you will be able to use 384parport_claim and parport_release in order to use the port. 385 386The (``name``) argument is the name of the device that appears in /proc 387filesystem. The string must be valid for the whole lifetime of the 388device (until parport_unregister_device is called). 389 390This function will register three callbacks into your driver: 391``preempt``, ``wakeup`` and ``irq``. Each of these may be NULL in order to 392indicate that you do not want a callback. 393 394When the ``preempt`` function is called, it is because another driver 395wishes to use the parallel port. The ``preempt`` function should return 396non-zero if the parallel port cannot be released yet -- if zero is 397returned, the port is lost to another driver and the port must be 398re-claimed before use. 399 400The ``wakeup`` function is called once another driver has released the 401port and no other driver has yet claimed it. You can claim the 402parallel port from within the ``wakeup`` function (in which case the 403claim is guaranteed to succeed), or choose not to if you don't need it 404now. 405 406If an interrupt occurs on the parallel port your driver has claimed, 407the ``irq`` function will be called. (Write something about shared 408interrupts here.) 409 410The ``handle`` is a pointer to driver-specific data, and is passed to 411the callback functions. 412 413``flags`` may be a bitwise combination of the following flags: 414 415 ===================== ================================================= 416 Flag Meaning 417 ===================== ================================================= 418 PARPORT_DEV_EXCL The device cannot share the parallel port at all. 419 Use this only when absolutely necessary. 420 ===================== ================================================= 421 422The typedefs are not actually defined -- they are only shown in order 423to make the function prototype more readable. 424 425The visible parts of the returned ``struct pardevice`` are:: 426 427 struct pardevice { 428 struct parport *port; /* Associated port */ 429 void *private; /* Device driver's 'handle' */ 430 ... 431 }; 432 433RETURN VALUE 434^^^^^^^^^^^^ 435 436A ``struct pardevice *``: a handle to the registered parallel port 437device that can be used for parport_claim, parport_release, etc. 438 439ERRORS 440^^^^^^ 441 442A return value of NULL indicates that there was a problem registering 443a device on that port. 444 445EXAMPLE 446^^^^^^^ 447 448:: 449 450 static int preempt (void *handle) 451 { 452 if (busy_right_now) 453 return 1; 454 455 must_reclaim_port = 1; 456 return 0; 457 } 458 459 static void wakeup (void *handle) 460 { 461 struct toaster *private = handle; 462 struct pardevice *dev = private->dev; 463 if (!dev) return; /* avoid races */ 464 465 if (want_port) 466 parport_claim (dev); 467 } 468 469 static int toaster_detect (struct toaster *private, struct parport *port) 470 { 471 private->dev = parport_register_device (port, "toaster", preempt, 472 wakeup, NULL, 0, 473 private); 474 if (!private->dev) 475 /* Couldn't register with parport. */ 476 return -EIO; 477 478 must_reclaim_port = 0; 479 busy_right_now = 1; 480 parport_claim_or_block (private->dev); 481 ... 482 /* Don't need the port while the toaster warms up. */ 483 busy_right_now = 0; 484 ... 485 busy_right_now = 1; 486 if (must_reclaim_port) { 487 parport_claim_or_block (private->dev); 488 must_reclaim_port = 0; 489 } 490 ... 491 } 492 493SEE ALSO 494^^^^^^^^ 495 496parport_unregister_device, parport_claim 497 498 499 500parport_unregister_device - finish using a port 501----------------------------------------------- 502 503SYNPOPSIS 504 505:: 506 507 #include <linux/parport.h> 508 509 void parport_unregister_device (struct pardevice *dev); 510 511DESCRIPTION 512^^^^^^^^^^^ 513 514This function is the opposite of parport_register_device.
