Introduction¶
The Zephyr kernel supports a variety of device drivers. Whether adriver is available depends on the board and the driver.
The Zephyr device model provides a consistent device model for configuring thedrivers that are part of a system. The device model is responsiblefor initializing all the drivers configured into the system.
Putting all the Zephyr marketing and buzzwords aside: To me, Zephyr aims to build a kernel and drivers for mid-range to low-end embedded devices, using the established principles of the Linux world, as an open source project. And that’s a good thing! One of the ‘supported’ boards of Zephyr is the NXP FRDM-K64F board.
Each type of driver (UART, SPI, I2C) is supported by a generic type API.
In this model the driver fills in the pointer to the structure containing thefunction pointers to its API functions during driver initialization. Thesestructures are placed into the RAM section in initialization level order.
Standard Drivers¶
Device drivers which are present on all supported board configurationsare listed below.
Interrupt controller: This device driver is used by the kernel’sinterrupt management subsystem.
Timer: This device driver is used by the kernel’s system clock andhardware clock subsystem.
Serial communication: This device driver is used by the kernel’ssystem console subsystem.
Random number generator: This device driver provides a source of randomnumbers.
Important
Certain implementations of this device driver do not generate sequences ofvalues that are truly random.
Synchronous Calls¶
Zephyr provides a set of device drivers for multiple boards. Each drivershould support an interrupt-based implementation, rather than polling, unlessthe specific hardware does not provide any interrupt.
High-level calls accessed through device-specific APIs, such as i2c.hor spi.h, are usually intended as synchronous. Thus, these calls should beblocking.
Driver APIs¶
The following APIs for device drivers are provided by device.h. The APIsare intended for use in device drivers only and should not be used inapplications.
DEVICE_INIT()- create device object and set it up for boot time initialization.
DEVICE_AND_API_INIT()- Create device object and set it up for boot time initialization.This also takes a pointer to driver API struct for link timepointer assignment.
DEVICE_NAME_GET()- Expands to the full name of a global device object.
DEVICE_GET()- Obtain a pointer to a device object by name.
DEVICE_DECLARE()- Declare a device object.
Driver Data Structures¶
The device initialization macros populate some data structures at build timewhich aresplit into read-only and runtime-mutable parts. At a high level we have:
The config member is for read-only configuration data set at build time. Forexample, base memory mapped IO addresses, IRQ line numbers, or other fixedphysical characteristics of the device. This is the config_info structurepassed to the DEVICE_*INIT() macros.
The driver_data struct is kept in RAM, and is used by the driver forper-instance runtime housekeeping. For example, it may contain reference counts,semaphores, scratch buffers, etc.
The driver_api struct maps generic subsystem APIs to the device-specificimplementations in the driver. It is typically read-only and populated atbuild time. The next section describes this in more detail.
Subsystems and API Structures¶
Most drivers will be implementing a device-independent subsystem API.Applications can simply program to that generic API, and applicationcode is not specific to any particular driver implementation.
A subsystem API definition typically looks like this:
A driver implementing a particular subsystem will define the real implementationof these APIs, and populate an instance of subsystem_api structure:
The driver would then pass my_driver_api_funcs as the api argument toDEVICE_AND_API_INIT(), or manually assign it to device->driver_apiin the driver init function.
Note
Since pointers to the API functions are referenced in the driver_apistruct, they will always be included in the binary even if unused;gc-sections linker option will always see at least one reference tothem. Providing for link-time size optimizations with driver APIs inmost cases requires that the optional feature be controlled by aKconfig option.
Single Driver, Multiple Instances¶
Some drivers may be instantiated multiple times in a given system. For examplethere can be multiple GPIO banks, or multiple UARTS. Each instance of the driverwill have a different config_info struct and driver_data struct.
Configuring interrupts for multiple drivers instances is a special case. If eachinstance needs to configure a different interrupt line, this can be accomplishedthrough the use of per-instance configuration functions, since the parametersto IRQ_CONNECT() need to be resolvable at build time.
For example, let’s say we need to configure two instances of my_driver, eachwith a different interrupt line. In drivers/subsystem/subsystem_my_driver.h:
In the implementation of the common init function:
Then when the particular instance is declared:
Note the use of DEVICE_DECLARE() to avoid a circular dependency on providingthe IRQ handler argument and the definition of the device itself.

Initialization Levels¶
Drivers may depend on other drivers being initialized first, orrequire the use of kernel services. The DEVICE_INIT() APIs allow the user tospecify at what time during the boot sequence the init function will beexecuted. Any driver will specify one of five initialization levels:
PRE_KERNEL_1- Used for devices that have no dependencies, such as those that relysolely on hardware present in the processor/SOC. These devices cannotuse any kernel services during configuration, since the kernel services arenot yet available. The interrupt subsystem will be configured howeverso it’s OK to set up interrupts. Init functions at this level run on theinterrupt stack.
PRE_KERNEL_2- Used for devices that rely on the initialization of devices initializedas part of the PRIMARY level. These devices cannot use any kernelservices during configuration, since the kernel services are not yetavailable. Init functions at this level run on the interrupt stack.
POST_KERNEL- Used for devices that require kernel services during configuration.Init functions at this level run in context of the kernel main task.
APPLICATION- Used for application components (i.e. non-kernel components) that needautomatic configuration. These devices can use all services provided bythe kernel during configuration. Init functions at this level run onthe kernel main task.
Within each initialization level you may specify a priority level, relative toother devices in the same initialization level. The priority level is specifiedas an integer value in the range 0 to 99; lower values indicate earlierinitialization. The priority level must be a decimal integer literal withoutleading zeroes or sign (e.g. 32), or an equivalent symbolic name (e.g.#defineMY_INIT_PRIO32); symbolic expressions are not permitted (e.g.CONFIG_KERNEL_INIT_PRIORITY_DEFAULT+5).
System Drivers¶
In some cases you may just need to run a function at boot. Special SYS_*macros exist that map to DEVICE_*INIT() calls.For SYS_INIT() there are no config or runtime data structures and thereisn’t a wayto later get a device pointer by name. The same policies for initializationlevel and priority apply.
For SYS_DEVICE_DEFINE() you can obtain pointers by name, seepower management section.

Error handling¶
Zephyr Driver Download
In general, it’s best to use __ASSERT() macros instead ofpropagating return values unless the failure is expected to occurduring the normal course of operation (such as a storage devicefull). Bad parameters, programming errors, consistency checks,pathological/unrecoverable failures, etc., should be handled byassertions.
When it is appropriate to return error conditions for the caller tocheck, 0 should be returned on success and a POSIX errno.h codereturned on failure. Seehttps://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/wiki/Naming-Conventions#return-codesfor details about this.

Patches available for SVGAxx & ZSVGA
Real Mode Library Patches:If you have a registered version of a real mode library (SVGACC, SVGAPB, SVGAPV or SVGAQB) versions 2.3c, 2.3d, 2.3e, 2.4, 2.4a 2.5 or 2.5a, please download the language specific patch and apply it to your library. This will bring your library up to the current 2.6 spec. If you have a registered version 2.3b or older, please contact us for upgrade information. If you have
ANY Shareware version, please download the current shareware version above. THESE PATCHES WILL NOT WORK WITH ANY SHAREWARE VERSION.
PowerBasic v3.5 Patch:
Most people *DO NOT* need to use this patch. *ONLY* if you have an old registered version of SVGAPB *AND* have upgraded your PowerBASIC compiler to PB v3.5 (or later), please download the patch below and apply it to your library. If you have not upgraded your PB compiler to v3.5 (or later), DO NOT install this patch! The current shareware release as well as all registered versions of SVGAPB (2.5a and later) ship with both versions of the library to accommodate the old and new versions of the PowerBASIC compiler. With the release of PowerBASIC v3.5, PowerBASIC changed their .PBL format. All this patch will do is extract the object modules from your registered library (using the old PB library manager) and re-insert them into the SVGAPB.BPL file (using the new PB library manager). If you have a registered copy of SVGAPB earlier then v 2.6, be sure to FIRST apply the patch above.
Protected Mode Library Patches:
Currently, there are no ZSVGA patches.
Here are extra 'add ons' for SVGAxx & ZSVGA
The following new functions are in these addon patches:
RES320SP, RES640LSP, RES640SP, RES800SP, RES1024SP and RES1280SP
These RESxxxSP functions are identical to the RESxxx functions except for one critical detail, they *DO NOT* actually force a resolution change in the video card. When a RESxxx function is called, many internal library parameters are set up to function within the requirements of a particular video card at a particular resolution. The video card is then instruction to switch into that resolution. By design, the video card will clear (reset to black) all the graphics on the screen when this resolution change happens. The RESxxxSP functions set up all the required internal parameters, but do not instruct the video card to change its resolution. This prevents the video memory from being cleared. The primary use for these functions is when one program needs to be 'chained' to another. For example, a main program can set up the display and then pass control to another program. This second program can then pass contol to yet another program and so on. The main (or first) program must record the video card type (WHICHVGA) and installed video memory (WHICHMEM) and set the resolution video (RESxxx). When control passes to another program, it is passed these parameters (the video card type, the installed memory & the current resolution). It will call the SETCARD function (rather than WHICHVGA) and then call the RESxxxSP function (rather than RESxxx). The contents of the display have been preserved and now the second program can read & write to the display. If this seems complicated, its is. It is aimed at the needs of advanced programmers. A very simple test program(s) should be written and tested to verify concept.
SPECIAL NOTE: If the main program has called MOUSEENTER, it *MUST* call MOUSEEXIT *BEFORE* it passes control to another program. Since MOUSEENTER hooks into the mouse driver, it must be un-hooked *BEFORE* the a program terminates or a hard crash is certain!
THESE PATCHES WILL WORK WITH BOTH THE REGISTERED AND SHAREWARE VERSIONS.THEY ARE HOWEVER UNSUPPORTED AND COME WITH NO WARRANTY. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
