Hardware interface question

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




Hi all

ide_hwif_t structure has a struct hwif_s *next pointer. The comment beside
it says that it is used for linked list in ide_hwgroup_t. From the
comments in the beginning of ide.h file, I understand that the driver
supports 4 interfaces. The ide_drive_t has a pointer to be in a list of
drives.

Questions:

How many drives can an interface correspond to?
What is a hwgroup ?

Thanx
