Detailed Description

Asynchronous HDLC device information structure.

The start of this structure is equal to the UARTDCB structure.

Field Documentation

u_char _AHDLCDCB::dcb_base

Hardware base address. This is a copy of the base address in the NUTDEVICE structure and required by the interrupt routine.

HANDLE _AHDLCDCB::dcb_mf_evt

HDLC mode change event queue. The frame receiver thread is waiting on this queue until the device is switched to HDLC mode.

volatile u_char* _AHDLCDCB::dcb_rx_buf

Input buffer. This buffer is filled by the the receiver interrupt, so the contents of the buffer is volatile.

volatile u_char _AHDLCDCB::dcb_rx_idx

Input buffer index for next incoming byte. This volatile index is incremented by the receiver interrupt.

HANDLE _AHDLCDCB::dcb_rx_rdy

Queue of threads waiting for a character in the input buffer. Threads are added to this queue when the output buffer is empty.

volatile u_char _AHDLCDCB::dcb_tx_idx

Output buffer index for next outgoing byte. This volatile index is incremented by the transmit interrupt.

HANDLE _AHDLCDCB::dcb_tx_rdy

Queue of threads waiting for output buffer empty. Threads are added to this queue when the output buffer is full or when flushing the output buffer.
