NAME

rtapi_firmware.h - RTAPI wrappers for linux kernel functionality

SYNTAX

#include <rtapi_firmware.h>

struct rtapi_firmware;

int rtapi_request_firmware(const struct rtapi_firmware **fw,

const char *name, struct rtapi_device *device);

void rtapi_release_firmware(const struct rtapi_firmware *fw);

DESCRIPTION

In kernel space, each rtapi_xxx or RTAPI_XXX identifier is mapped to the underlying kernel functionality, if available.

In userspace, or in kernels where the underlying functionality is not provided by a kernel, generally another implementation--possibly with reduced functionality--is provided. (For example, the userspace implementation for rtapi_device_register always succeeds)

REALTIME CONSIDERATIONS

Typically, these functions may be called from realtime init/cleanup code.

RETURN VALUE

As in Linux.
