The Realtime Interface Co-Processor C Language Support is a productivity aid that allows programmers to develop code in the C Programming Language for the co-processor adapter or the system unit.
The C Language Support for the Co-Processor Adapter includes a set of program services that enable C programs to be compiled to run as tasks, under the control of Realtime Control Microcode, on the co-processor adapter. These services are described in this volume. (Volume I of this guide describes the C Language Support for the System Unit, which includes support for C programs that will use the application program interface of DOS Support or OS/2 Support.)

The structure of C tasks is similar to system unit C applications. The differences are mandated by the different operating environments--the Realtime Control Microcode as compared to the IBM Disk Operating System (DOS) or the Operating System/2 (OS/2). C tasks must have a task header at the beginning of the task load module; system unit C tasks do not. In addition, C tasks issue commands to the Realtime Control Microcode, rather than DOS or OS/2, as in system unit C tasks.
Parameters may be passed to a task when the task is being loaded. The task receives the parameters in its main function through the standard C parameters, argc and argv.
Following is an example of passing parameters from the command line to a task being loaded in DOS:
icaload 0 taskname.exe 1 (ABC 123 "XYZ 456"Following is an example of passing parameters from the command line to a task being loaded in OS/2:
icaldric 0 taskname.exe 1 (ABC 123 "XYZ 456"The application loader (ICALOAD or ICALDRIC) puts the task name into argv[0] in upper case, and then puts the remaining parameters in order in the array. (ICALOAD is the application loader utility supplied with the Realtime Interface Co-Processor DOS Support product, and ICALDRIC is the application loader utility supplied with the Realtime Interface Co-Processor OS/2 Support product.)
The task might look like the following:
#include icadeclt.h #include string.h #include stdio.h main(argc,argv) int argc; /* Number of parameters being */ /* passed = 4. */ char *argv[]; /* Array of strings being passed */ /* as parameters: */ /* argv[0] = TASKNAME.EXE */ /* argv[1] = ABC */ /* argv[2] = 123 */ /* argv[3] = XYZ 456 */ { /* ------------------- */ /* User code */ /* ------------------- */ } /* End main routine */For more information on the argc and argv C parameters, see the compiler language reference.
Realtime Control Microcode 2.01 allows you to disable peer services by specifying an optional parameter of 1 (one) when loading Realtime Control Microcode. This conserves base memory.
Example: icaload 0 icarcm.com 0 (1
Variables are defined in the same manner as a C language system unit application. The only restriction on declarations applies to resource request blocks. Request blocks must be declared globally and must be initialized at the time of declaration. This guarantees that the request block is located in the task header segment, as required by Realtime Control Microcode. Resource request blocks should be defined before other global data and must have at least the first three fields initialized--the forward and backward pointers, and the request block type. The following is an example of a vector request block declaration:
struct vrbstruct vectreq1 = { 0, 0, 0x01 };
The task header is stored in the file icaheadc.obj and contains definitions and initial values for the task header fields. As stated previously, the task header must be first in the task load module. This can be done by linking the header to the compiled task code. The thstruct structure defines the fields of the task header; the get_ptrs function can be used to get a pointer to the task header field.
The source for the task header is stored in the icaheadc.asm file. The task header field values can be modified in the source if desired. The header file can then be re-assembled with the /S option, which indicates to the assembler and linker that the segments should stay in the order that they are specified.
When upgrading to a new level of C Language support, if you have customized the task header in the icaheadc.asm file, it must be replaced by the latest level task header with your modifications. The modified header should then be re-assembled using the /S option and re-linked to the compiled task code.
For Realtime Control Microcode, the order of segments in C tasks is different from a comparable system unit program. The data precedes the code in C tasks so that the task header fields can be accessed as data. This also permits resource request blocks to be allocated in the same segment as the task header.
The following table shows the order of segments in C tasks, from low storage to high storage:
Segment Group Segment Name Name Type Remarks ==================================================================== HEADER DGROUP HEADDATA Task header NULL DGROUP BEGDATA Segment for null pointer checks (not used) _DATA DGROUP DATA Static initialized variables xxxxx DGROUP DATA Other data segments (large and huge memory models) CONST DGROUP DATA Read-only constants c_common DGROUP DATA Uninitialized global variables _BSS DGROUP DATA Uninitialized static variables STACK DGROUP DATA Stack segment _TEXT IGROUP CODE Code segment xxxxx IGROUP CODE Other code segments (medium, large, and huge memory models)
The __cmdent routine handles command interrupts from the system unit for the task. The task header command vector points to this module. When _cmdent is entered from the Realtime Control Microcode, the C task is posted with a post code of tn02h, where tn is the C task's task number and 02h is the post code for a command post. If the user wishes to install a new command handler, the command handler must have the public name __cmdent, and be in a library that is searched before the Realtime Interface Co-Processor C Language Support libraries. The new command handler can also be specified on the object module line of the LINK input. The new command handler should post the task with the command post, and should turn off the output buffer busy, busy, and error bits in the task's primary status byte.
The default command handler, __cmdent, rejects all incoming peer request blocks. To write a command handler that handles peer request blocks, write a _cmdhand routine with the following declaration and link the routine ahead of the Realtime Interface Co-Processor C Language Support libraries.
void _cmdhand (PRBCount , PRBPtr) unsigned int PRBCount; struct prbstruct for * PRBPtr; { /* -------------------- */ /* Command handler code */ /* -------------------- */ }The default command handler, __cmdent, posts the task on a normal command interrupt and passes peer request blocks to the _cmdhand routine. The default _cmdhand routine in the libraries rejects all peer request blocks.
The crt0 module is responsible for task setup. A modified crt0 is provided to replace the standard setup routine in the C compiler. This module is responsible for setting up and maintaining the operating environment for the task. Several routines called by icacrt0 are different. The setenvp routine is no longer called because it is a DOS-dependent routine. The nullchk routine has been removed because fields in the task header (at offset 0) can change during task execution and can invalidate the check. The chkstk routine has been modified so that a task is suspended if the stack overflows. Users may write their own stack checking routines, following the conventions described in the C compiler reference manual.
Command handlers may not be shared by more than one task.
When code is executed by more than one task, the code is referred to as "shared code."
A common configuration where shared code occurs is within a software interrupt handler that is called by multiple tasks. Another shared code configuration is where one task provides dynamically linked entry points that are called by multiple tasks.
To avoid unpredictable results and data corruption, special consideration must be taken when using the C Language Support functions in shared code. These special considerations also apply to interrupt handler code. To enable the use of some of the C Language Support routines in shared code, the ICA_SHARED parameter must be set. This causes the C Language Support shared routines to be used. These routines resolve addressability to task structures using the currently executing task number. The shared routines may not be used within interrupt handlers.
The command line parameter "ICA_SHARED" may be set by using the /D compile option at compile time. The shared option is chosen for the large model of C Language with packed structures. For example:
cc /AL /Zp /DICA_SHARED ctask;ICA_SHARED may also be set within the code by using the #define directive before including the ICADECLT.H include file. For example:
#define ICA_SHARED #include icadeclt.hSharing code is only possible when compiling tasks in the large model of C Language. The C Language Support functions cannot be shared in small or medium models.
Each routine can be classified as to whether or not it can be shared and whether or not it can be called from an interrupt handler:

For information on Realtime Control Microcode resources, refer to your co-processor adapter Technical Reference document.
The SVC functions provide an interface to the Realtime Control Microcode supervisor calls. An important difference between the SVC functions and the other functions is that SVC functions cause a dispatch cycle to occur, while the other functions do not necessarily cause a dispatch cycle. In addition, SVC functions may not be called from a hardware interrupt handler.
The following functions provide an interface to the supervisor calls:
Function Description ================================================================== svcalloc Allocate a resource svcasap Cause a dispatch cycle to occur svcbuild Simulate a task load from the system unit svccantm Cancel a timer svcdeall Deallocate a resource svcinitc Signal initialization complete svcintrq Interrupt system unit from requesting task svcpost Post a task svcprdic Start a periodic timer svcqryfs Query free storage svcrdvec Read an interrupt vector svcrsume Resume a task svcsspnd Suspend a task svcstart Start a task svcstop Remove a task's TCB from TCBTAB svctimer Start a timer svctres Terminate task but remain resident svcunld Unload a task svcwait Put task into wait modeThe SVC functions return a common set of error codes to facilitate error handling:
Code Condition ============================================================= 0x0000 Normal operation, no error 0x0004 EIB not present 0x0005 Access denied 0x0006 Port interface mismatch 0x0007 Communication controller mismatch 0x0008 Insufficient storage 0x0009 Interrupt busy because previous interrupt was not accepted by the system unit 0x000A No response from system unit after interrupt was requested 0x000C Requested operation previously performed 0x0013 Invalid data 0x0014 Invalid task number 0x0015 Invalid timer number 0x0016 Invalid queue number 0x0018 Invalid port number 0x001A Insufficient expanded memory pages 0x001C Requested access not available
The programmable read only memory (PROM) services functions provide an interface to the PROM Services modules. These functions do not cause a dispatch cycle to occur.
The PROM Services interface routines must be used with care, as none of the routines verify that the caller is the owner of the device affected.
The following functions provide an interface to the PROM Services modules:
Function Description ================================================================= atoe Convert ASCII to EBCDIC cioreg CIO register support ciotimer CIO timer support convtptr Return pointer to EBCDIC-ASCII tables dacread Reads appropriate DAC registers dacwrite Writes appropriate DAC registers dmaconec Connect DMA dmareg Read/write DMA registers dmastart Set up and start DMA dmastop Stop DMA dmaxlate Translate logical to physical address etoa Convert EBCDIC to ASCII pdmareg Reads/Writes registers of DMA/peripheral interface controller channel ringaddl Add element to ring (inter-segment) ringadds Add element to ring (intra-segment) ringreml Remove element from ring (inter-segment) ringrems Remove element from ring (intra-segment) sccreg Read/write SCC registers sccrst Reset SCC port seg2phys Convert segment:offset into translated physical address phys2page Convert 32-bit physical address into page:offset
The supervisor interrupt (SVI) functions provide an interface to the Realtime Control Microcode service interrupts. These calls do not necessarily cause a dispatch cycle to occur. A preemptive dispatch cycle may be caused by posti if a higher priority task is posted or by enpreempt if a higher priority task is posted while preemption is disabled. SVI functions may be called from a hardware interrupt handler.
Following is a list of the supervisor interrupt functions:
Function Description =================================================================== cantime Cancel a timer dispreempt Disable preemption enpreempt Enable preemption extstcl Clear external/status interrupts extstco Enable/disable external/status interrupt inputs extstqu Query port's external/status inputs get_call_addr Get callable address get_int_cnt Get interrupt count get_next_avail Get next available resource get_res_count Get resource count get_task Return task number of current task in execution halfrate Enable/disable half rate select page2seg Translate page to segment address pag2segc Translate page to segment address posti Post a task readcio Read CIO port data register resumei Resume a task rtsdtr Control RTS and DTR outputs for a port seg2page Translate segment to page address setclockopt Set DCE or DTE clocking set_time Set system time u_q_add Add an element to a user queue u_q_add_p Add an element to a user queue (32-bit physical address) u_q_rcv Receive user queue element u_q_rem Remove user queue element writecio Write CIO port data register xmitcntl Enable/disable transmit function
The expanded memory manager support described in the following supervisor interrupts is valid for Realtime Interface Co-Processor Portmaster Adapter/A adapters only.
The term "expanded memory page frame" refers to the 80186 logical address (segment:offset) where the pages of expanded memory are mapped so that they can be addressed by the 80186.
Realtime Control Microcode 2.01 uses the unused PROM (programmable read only memory) address space (between 960KB and PROM) as the expanded memory page frame and preserves the mapping of expanded memory pages across dispatch cycles.
The typical steps an application performs to use expanded memory are:
Following is a list of the expanded memory supervisor interrupt functions:
Function Description ================================================================== get_pgfrm Gets logical segment address and number of page in emm page frame. unallocpgcnt Returns the number of emm support pages. map_emm Maps or unmaps logical emm pages to a page frame page. map_physpg Maps or unmaps physical emm pages to a page frame page. emm2phys Converts an EMM handle, logical page number and offset to a 32-bit physical address. emm2page Converts EMM handle, logical page number and offset to a 32-bit physical page:offset address. pushpgmap Saves the memory mapping context when an interrupt occurs. poppgmap Restores the expanded memory manager support page frame mapping.
The Peer Services provide a means for tasks to pass information among Realtime Interface Co-Processor Portmaster Adapter/A adapters and the system unit. Using peer services, tasks can communicate with local tasks on the same Realtime Interface Co-Processor Portmaster Adapter/A, remote tasks on a peer Realtime Interface Co-Processor Portmaster Adapter/A, or applications in the system unit. For compatibility, the buffer control block (BCB) command-passing mechanism is preserved, but the peer services provide a more powerful means of passing commands and data.
The Peer Request SVI, peer_req, is used to pass the messages between tasks/processors. Information concerning the peer request is passed in the prbstruct request block. Realtime Control Microcode 2.01 supports a set of commands via peer requests as listed in the Realtime Interface Co-Processor Firmware Technical Reference, Volume III. The commands and data passed among application tasks are defined by the user.
Realtime Control Microcode 2.01 allows you to disable peer services by specifying an optional parameter of 1 (one) when loading Realtime Control Microcode. This conserves base memory.
Example: icaload 0 icarcm.com 0 (1Refer to the Realtime Interface Co-Processor DOS Support User's Guide or the Realtime Interface Co-Processor OS/2 Support User's Guide for more information.
The miscellaneous functions do not correspond with any Realtime Control Microcode functions. They provide support that is easily written in assembler tasks but is more difficult to write in C tasks. This support includes reading and writing the buffer control block, changing the task's primary status byte, time functions, hook services, and entry to and exit from interrupt handlers. These miscellaneous functions do not cause a dispatch cycle to occur.
The miscellaneous functions are:

There are some type definitions in ICADECLT.H that are used by various structures and functions.
typedef void (far *VECTOR)(void); /* 32-bit vector */ define ICAENTRY cdecl /* Declare function to be FAR call */
There are a number of common structures that are used by many of the C Language Support functions for the co-processor adapter. These structures are described in this section. Note that the /Zp compiler option must be used to ensure that these structures are correctly generated by the compiler. Any structure element with the name of RSVx should never be referenced to allow for future compatibility (x is any number).
The following structure is a model of the buffer control block (BCB):
struct bcbstruct { unsigned char CMD; /* Command byte */ unsigned int STLEN; /* Length of external status field */ unsigned int ESTOFF; /* Offset of external status field */ unsigned char STPG; /* Page number of external status */ unsigned int IBLEN; /* Length of input buffer */ unsigned int IBOFF; /* Offset of input buffer */ unsigned char IBPG; /* Page number of input buffer */ unsigned int OBLEN; /* Length of output buffer */ unsigned int OBOFF; /* Offset of output buffer */ unsigned char OBPG; /* Page number of output buffer */ };

Under Realtime Control Microcode Version 2.01, additional timers on any additional CIOs as defined in the EIB ROM can be allocated via this resource block. Realtime Control Microcode Version 2.01 uses one additional hardware timer for internal bus master command time-outs and to provide a time-of-day service.
struct htrbstruct { unsigned int NEXT; /* Offset of next request block. */ unsigned int PREV; /* Offset of the previous block. */ unsigned char HTRBID; /* Block descriptor; must contain */ /* 06h before use in an SVC. */ unsigned char TIMNUM; /* Hardware timer number 0 or 1. */ unsigned char TSKNUM; /* Owner task number of this block.*/ unsigned char ZEROREQ;/* This byte must contain 0. */ VECTOR HTVECT; /* 32-bit interrupt vector for */ /* hardware timer interrupt. */ unsigned int HTADDR; ;/* Base address of the hardware */ /* timer; set by RCM. */ unsigned int HWRELINT; /* Hardware timer release */ /* interrupt; set by RCM. */ };

The rs232rbstruct structure defines the format of an RS-232 request block. Structures of this type should be declared globally and initialized in the declaration statement.
This resource block is supported in Realtime Control Microcode Version 1.51 or earlier only; the communications port resource block should be used with Realtime Control Microcode Version 2.01.

The communication port request block structure defines the format of a communication port request block for Realtime Interface Co-Processor Portmaster Adapter/A and Realtime Interface Co-Processor Multiport Adapter, Model 2. Structures of this type should be declared globally and initialized in the declaration statement. This structure may be used for Zilog SCC and Signetics DUSCC ports in Realtime Control Microcode Version 2.01.
struct cprbstruct { unsigned int NEXT; /* Offset of next request block. */ unsigned int PREV; /* Offset of previous block. */ unsigned char CPRBID; /* Block descriptor; must contain*/ /* 0Ch before use in an SVC. */ unsigned char CPNUM; /* Communication port requested. */ unsigned char TSKNUM; /* This task's task number. */ unsigned char ZEROREQ; /* This byte must be 0. */ VECTOR TXVECT; /* 32-bit pointer to SCC Tx */ /* interrupt handler. */ VECTOR RXVECT; /* 32-bit pointer to SCC Rx */ /* interrupt handler. */ VECTOR SCVECT; /* 32-bit pointer to SCC error */ /* interrupt handler. */ VECTOR EXVECT; /* 32-bit pointer to SCC External*/ /* or Counter/Timer status */ /* interrupt handler. */ unsigned int SCCBASE; /* Base I/O address of the SCC */ /* channel; set by RCM. */ unsigned int SCCRELINT;/* SCC release interrupt address;*/ /* set by RCM. */ unsigned int RXDMABASE;/* Receive DMA register base */ /* address; set by RCM. */ unsigned int TXDMABASE;/* Transmit DMA register base */ /* address; set by RCM. */ unsigned int RXDMAISR; /* Receive DMA DISR */ /* address; set by RCM. */ unsigned int TXDMAISR; /* Transmit DMA DISR address; */ /* set by RCM. */ VECTOR RXDMAVEC; /* Receive DMA interrupt vector. */ VECTOR TXDMAVEC; /* Transmit DMA interrupt vector */ unsigned char PORTTYPE; /* Port interface type.

The base address for the related hardware is provided upon allocation. Two additional fields, PORTTYPE and SCCTYPE, can be requested in the resource block. In the simplest case, these fields are set to indicate the type of interface and communications controller of the allocated port. These fields can also be used to specify the type of port desired, and an error is returned if the requested port does not have the desired characteristics. PORTTYPE and SCCTYPE of the port is always be returned.
The user can request that the port be allocated only if the port meets the desired characteristics. For instance, if the SCCTYPE is 00h on input to the svcalloc call, the port is allocated only if the communications controller for the port is a Zilog SCC; otherwise, an error is returned. If the SCCTYPE is specified as FFh on input to the svcalloc call, Realtime Control Microcode Version 2.01 does not check the SCC type, but returns the information to indicate what type of communications controller is installed on that port.
Similarly, the user may request that the port only be allocated if a specific physical interface is installed by specifying a requested value for the PORTTYPE field. This powerful feature takes advantage of information in the EIB ROM and allows an application task to request a port only if it meets the desired specifications.
For some of the Signetics DUSCC registers that share bits between ports, the task needs to know which port of the DUSCC was assigned. Assignment of DUSCC port A is always to even-numbered ports and DUSCC port B is always to odd-numbered ports. Note that the CIO release interrupt address is not returned with the communications port resource block. An application should use the Logical Control Line Support routines to manage signals on the CIO.
This is a model of the vector request block, which is used to request and return software interrupt vectors. Refer to your co-processor adapter's technical reference document for a list of valid software interrupt vectors.
struct vrbstruct { unsigned int NEXT; /* Offset of next request block. */ unsigned int PREV; /* Offset of the previous block. */ unsigned char VRBID; /* Block descriptor; must contain */ /* 01h before use in an SVC. */ unsigned char VECTNUM; /* Requested vector number. */ unsigned char TSKNUM; /* This task's task number. */ unsigned char ZEROREQ; /* This byte must contain 0. */ VECTOR NEWVECT; /* New value for the vector. */ VECTOR OLDVECT; /* Old value for the vector. */ VECTOR ORIVECT; /* Original value of the vector. */ unsigned char FILL[8]; /* Reserved area; used by RCM. */ };
The sccrbstruct structure defines the format of a serial communications controller (SCC) port request block. This resource block can be used to allocate a single Zilog SCC or Signetics DUSCC. The preferred method for allocating a port on the Realtime Interface Co-Processor Portmaster Adapter/A is via the Communication Port Resource Block (0Ch), but this resource block allows just the communication port to be allocated. Structures of this type should be declared globally and initialized in the declaration statement.
The DMA is not allocated with the SCC. To receive the DMA channels for an SCC port, the communications port resource block, cprbstruct, must be used.
struct sccrbstruct { unsigned int NEXT; /* Offset of next request block. */ unsigned int PREV; /* Offset of the previous block. */ unsigned char SCCID; /* Block descriptor must contain */ /* 09h before use in an SVC. */ unsigned char SCCNUM: /* SCC port number requested. */ unsigned char TSKNUM; /* This task's task number. */ unsigned char ZEROREQ; /* This byte must be 0. */ VECTOR TXVECT; /* 32-bit pointer to SCC TX */ /* interrupt handler. */ VECTOR RXVECT; /* 32-bit pointer to SCC RX */ /* interrupt handler. */ VECTOR SCVECT; /* 32-bit pointer to SCC special */ /* receive condition interrupt */ /* handler. */ VECTOR EXVECT; /* 32-bit pointer to SCC external*/ /* status interrupt handler. */ unsigned int SCCB; /* Base I/O address of the SCC */ /* channel; set by RCM. */ unsigned int SCCRELINT; /* SCC release interrupt address;*/ /* set by RCM. */ };
The ciorbstruct structure defines the format of a counter/timer and parallel I/O unit (CIO) port request block.
This resource block can be used to allocate a single CIO port. The preferred method for allocating a port on Realtime Interface Co-Processor Portmaster Adapter/A is via the communication port resource block as described previously, but this resource block allows a single CIO port to be allocated. See your co-processor adapter's technical reference document for the mapping between CIO port numbers and physical CIO ports.
Structures of this type should be declared globally and initialized in the declaration statement.
When allocating port C of a CIO, the interrupt vector field of the CIO port resource block has no meaning.
struct ciorbstruct { unsigned int NEXT; /* Offset of next request block. */ unsigned int PREV; /* Offset of the previous block. */ unsigned char CIOID: /* Block descriptor must contain */ /* 0Ah before use in an SVC. */ unsigned char CIONUM; /* CIO port requested. */ unsigned char TSKNUM; /* This task's task number. */ unsigned char ZEROREQ; /* This byte must be 0. */ VECTOR CIOINT; /* 32-bit pointer to CIO */ /* interrupt handler. */ unsigned int CIOB; /* I/O address of the CIO data */ /* register; set by RCM. */ unsigned int CIORELINT;/* CIO release interrupt address;*/ /* set by RCM. */ };
Many of the standard C library routines are not available in the co-processor adapter environment because they use system unit operating system services. The following is a list of some of the routines that can be used in C tasks:
abs isalnum qsort strncpy asctime isascii rand strnicmp atof iscntrl _roti strnset atoi isxdigit _rotr strpbrk atol itoa segread strrchr bdos ldiv _splitpath strrev bsearch lfind sprintf strset ctime localtime srand strspn difftime lsearch strcat strstr _disable ltoa strchr _strtime div _makepath strcmp strtod ecvt max strcmpi strtok _enable memccpy strcpy strtol fcvt memchr strcspn strtoul FP_OFF memcmp _strdate strupr FP_SEG memcpy strdup swab ftime memicmp _strerror time gcvt memmove strerror toascii gmtime memset stricmp _toupper inp min strlen _tolower intdos mktime strlwr ultoa intdosx movedata strncat va_arg int86 outp strncmp va_start int86xThe following math routines may be used if the user writes a matherr routine to handle errors from the math functions. The matherr routine can be as simple as a null function, if the user so desires. The matherr routine is described in more detail in the C compiler reference manual.
acos cosh fmsbintoieee pow asin dieeetomsbin _fpresent sin atan dmsbintoieee frexp sinh atan2 exp hypot sqrt bessel fabs ldexp tan cabs fieeetomsbin log tanh ceil floor log10 cos fmod modfThe following routines may be used, but the requests are directed to the co-processor adapter and the Realtime Control Microcode rather than to the system unit processor and DOS or OS/2:
bdos intdos int86x segread ftime intdosx outpw time inpw int86
The Realtime Interface Co-Processor C Language Support provides the means for writing interrupt handlers in C language. These interrupt handlers may be used to service both hardware and software interrupts. Hardware interrupts consist of SCC, CIO, DMA, software timers, or hardware timer interrupts; software interrupts are generally received by way of user-requested software interrupt vectors.
The following comments apply to all interrupt handlers:
Software and hardware interrupt handlers have their own set of routines for entry and exit. Hardware interrupt handlers should use the routines int_ntry and int_exit for entry and exit. The int_ntry function saves the machine environment and returns a pointer to the register save area. The register save area has the format defined by the intenv structure. The following is an example of a hardware interrupt handler:
void far hardware_int_handler () { struct intenv far *regs; regs = int_ntry ();/* Call to "int_ntry" must be first */ /* ------------------------ */ /* Code to handle interrupt */ /* ------------------------ */ int_exit(); /* Call to "int_exit" must be last */ }The following comments apply to hardware interrupt handlers:
Software interrupt handlers should use the functions int_ntry, sfw_chn, and sfw_exit. The sfw_chn is a function unique to software interrupt handlers. First, it checks the intended task number of the interrupt. If the interrupt is intended for the current task, control is returned to the interrupt handler. If the interrupt is not intended for the current task, control is passed on to the next owner of the interrupt through the OLDVECT field in the interrupt vector request block. The sfw_exit function restores the registers and passes control to either the next owner of the interrupt vector or to the Realtime Control Microcode, depending on the value of the quick parameter. The interrupt vector request block pointer passed to sfw_chn and sfw_exit should be the address of the vector request block used to acquire the interrupt vector.
The following is an example of a software interrupt handler:
void far software_interrupt_handler() { struct intenv far *regs; regs = int_ntry(); /* Save environment; get */ /* pointer to registers. */ sfw_chn (&vec;_req_block); /* Jump to next owner of */ /* vector if this task */ /* isn't supposed to get */ /* the interrupt. */ /* --------------------------------- */ /* Code to handle software interrupt */ /* --------------------------------- */ sfw_exit(0,&vec;_req_block); /* Exit handler, passing */ /* control to the next */ /* owner of the vector. */ }The following comments apply to software interrupt handlers:
Tasks may be created with the svcbuild function, which simulates a task load from the system unit. The new task may be created as a peer task outside the building task or as a child task within the building task. Once a task is built, the task should be started with the svcstart function.
Each task that is built requires its own unique command handler (__cmdent) and interrupt entry call (int_ntry, dhook_ntry, or hook_ntry). A set of these routines is provided in the file, childsub.asm. In this file, the command handler is called __cmdent2, and the interrupt entry routine is called int_ntry2. For a second built task, the childsub.asm file should be copied, and the labels should be changed so that they are unique (for instance, __cmdent3 and int_ntry3). Each copy of the childsub.asm file should be assembled and linked into the task. It is mandatory that each child task use its version of the command handler and interrupt entry call.
Users who write code to build C tasks should have a complete understanding of C segments and groups; this information can be found in the C compiler manual. Building tasks from C tasks has restrictions imposed by the C compiler. The svcbuild function is provided for C tasks, but it may be simpler to build tasks in assembly language.
The BuildChild() routine is provided in the file childc.c for building child tasks. In BuildChild(), the task header is first initialized. The svcbuild() function is then called with the task header pointer and a null value for the storage request block; no storage request block is required for building child tasks. (Remember that the task header must start on a paragraph boundary.) A child task has its code, data, and stack within the building (parent) task's load module, however the child task may not access the parent's global variables. The stack area for the child task should directly follow the child's task header. In addition, stack checking should be disabled in child task code because the child task's is located before the end of the parent's data area.
A child task may not build other tasks. When the parent (building) task is stopped, all its child tasks are unloaded.
The BuildPeer() routine is provided in the file childc.c for building peer tasks. In BuildPeer(), the storage is first allocated for the new task. BuildPeer() assumes that the two tasks share their code; therefore, space is only required for the data and the stack. If separate copies of the code are desired, space should be allocated for the entire task module (the size is in the LMODL field of the task header). The data area is then copied into the new peer task's data area.
Next, BuildPeer() fills in the task header fields in the allocated memory block. The size of the allocated memory block should be stored in the LMODL field of the new header. The svcbuild() function is called to notify Realtime Control Microcode of the new task. The building task's data should be copied into the new peer task's data area. Finally, the task should be started with the svcstart() function.
Note:
In the large memory model, the built task has its own base data segment but it shares the building task's extra data segments. Multiple data segments are implemented in the C compiler by keeping a base data segment in DS and saving pointers to the other data segments in the base data segment. Because the C Language Support does not know where these pointers are, and cannot modify them to point into the new task, they continue to point to the building task's data area.
DOS and OS/2 program debuggers are available as part of the Realtime Interface Co-Processor Developer's Kit, and can be used with the Realtime Interface Co-Processor, the Realtime Interface Co-Processor Multiport, the Realtime Interface Co-Processor Multiport/2, the X.25 Interface Co-Processor/2, and the X.25 Interface Co-Processor.
When combined with the C Compiler code listing and the link map file, the Realtime Interface Co-Processor Program Debugger is useful in debugging C tasks. The user should first generate the .COD and .MAP files. The following commands show an example of generating these files. Note that the /Gs and /Od options must also be used if the task contains interrupt handlers.
Microsoft C 6.0 Optimizing Compiler: cl /c /AM /G1 /Zp /Fm /Fc task.c link icaheadc+task/NOD /NOE/m,task,, icams60m+icatskm+mlibca IBM C/2(4) 1.1 Compiler: cc /AM /G1 /Zp task,,,task; link icaheadc+task/NOD /NOE/m,task,, icac2m+icatskm+mlibcar
The same compile and link options used for Microsoft C 6.0 compiler can be used for the Microsoft C 7.0 and Microsoft C 8.0 compilers. These commands generate a code listing, task.cod, and a link map, task.map. These two files can be used for finding code and data in the task.
The next step is to load the co-processor adapter software including the program debugger. The following example loads the Realtime Control Microcode for co-processor 0 for a Realtime Interface Co-Processor, Realtime Interface Co-Processor Multiport, Realtime Interface Co-Processor Multiport/2, and X.25 Interface Co-Processor/2:
icainth icaload 0 icaaim.com 0 icadeb 0Then load the task onto the co-processor adapter without starting it, as in the following example:
icaload 0 task.exe 1 LEnter the program debugger by pressing the toggle keys Alt+Esc. Display the task header with the Display command.
>> d 1#0When memory is displayed, the address for each line is displayed on the left side of the screen; in this case, the address segment is the segment of the task header. Next, find the address of the the _main label in the link map list of public labels. Add the segment of the task header to the relative segment of the _main label; the sum is the segment in co-processor adapter memory of the task's main routine.
For example, if the task header is located at segment 0x2000, and the address of the _main label is 0096:000A, then the address of _main is 2096:000A. Use this address when starting the task, as in the following example:
>> st 1# 2096:000AThis command starts the task and halts it when it enters the main() function of the task. From this point, the user can single-step through the task, display task data, and do what is necessary to debug the task.
An error handling task, icaceh.com, is provided with the Realtime Interface Co-Processor C Language Support for the co-processor adapter. Its purpose is to watch for errors occurring in C tasks. It monitors the division by zero, overflow, array bounds exception, and undefined opcode interrupts. When one of the preceding errors occurs, icaceh.com checks the ID of the task in which the error occurred. If the error occurred in a C task, the C task is suspended, and the error and status available bits in its primary status byte are turned on. An error code is also stored in the C task's extended status buffer.
The following format is used for storing error codes in C tasks' status buffers:
Extended Status Values for Run-Time Errors Byte 0 Byte 1 Error Description ============================================================== 0xFE 0x0000 Division by 0 0xFE 0x0001 INTO overflow 0xFE 0x0002 Array bounds exception 0xFE 0x0003 Undefined opcode 0xFE 0x0004 Escape opcode 0xFE 0x0007 Translate Table error 0xFE 0x0008 DAC error interrupt 0xFE 0x0009 Extended non-maskable interrupt errorUse of the error handling task is optional; if the user does not want to use its services, the error handling task should not be loaded. If the user does want to use its services, the error handling task should be loaded and started with the DOS Support or OS/2 Support Application Loader.
When the error handling task is used, it has the following requirements:
Every task should include the statement:
#include "icadeclt.h"This statement includes the declarations needed to use the Realtime Interface Co-Processor C Language Support for the co-processor adapter.
The following compiler options should be used when compiling C tasks:
The following section describes the compilation steps.
cl /AS /G1 /Zp /c ctask.cIf the same task is compiled in the medium memory model, the command looks like this (the /Gs and /Od options must be added if the task contains an interrupt handler):
cl /AM /G1 /Zp /c ctask.cIf the user task is compiled in the large memory model, the compile command looks like this (the /Gs and /Od options must be added if the task contains an interrupt handler):
cl /AL /G1 /Zp /c ctask.c
The following example shows a user task, ctask.c, being compiled in the small memory model (the /Gs and /Od options must be added if the task contains an interrupt handler):
cc /AS /G1 /Zp ctask,ctask,ctask,ctask;If the same task is compiled in the medium memory model, the command looks like this (the /Gs and /Od options must be added if the task contains an interrupt handler):
cc /AM /G1 /Zp ctask,ctask,ctask,ctask;If the user task is compiled in the large memory model, the compile command looks like this (the /Gs and /Od options must be added if the task contains an interrupt handler):
cc /AL /G1 /Zp ctask,ctask,ctask,ctask;
The same indications listed for the Microsoft C 6.0 optimizing compiler apply. See "Microsoft C 6.0 Optimizing Compiler".
When linking C object modules for the co-processor adapter, certain link parameters and options must be used. Consider the following when linking C tasks.
If floating-point support is used, the floating-point libraries must be specified after the Realtime Interface Co-Processor C Language Support library, but before the standard C/2 library.
The following sections describe the link instructions.
The following example shows a sample object file ctask.obj being linked with the Realtime Interface Co-Processor C Language Support and standard small memory model libraries:
link icaheadc+ctask/NOD /NOE,ctask,ctask,icams60s+icatsks+slibcaIf the sample file is compiled in the medium model, the link command looks like this:
link icaheadc+ctask/NOD /NOE,ctask,ctask,icams60m+icatskm+mlibcaIf the sample file is compiled in the large or huge memory model, the link command looks like this:
link icaheadc+ctask/NOD /NOE,ctask,ctask,icams60l+icatskl+llibca
The following example shows a sample object file ctask.obj being linked with the Realtime Interface Co-Processor C Language Support and standard small memory model libraries:
link icaheadc+ctask/NOD /NOE,ctask,ctask,icac2s+icatsks+slibcar;If the sample file is compiled in the medium model, the link command looks like this:
link icaheadc+ctask/NOD /NOE,ctask,ctask,icac2m+icatskm+mlibcar;If the sample file is compiled in the large or huge memory model, the link command looks like this:
link icaheadc+ctask/NOD /NOE,ctask,ctask,icac2l+icatskl+llibcar;
The same indications listed for the Microsoft C 6.0 optimizing compiler apply (see "Microsoft C 6.0 Optimizing Compiler") with the following exceptions:
This chapter describes the co-processor adapter C Language interface routines in detail.
Some of the functions accept bit-sensitive parameters. Such parameters are defined with lowercase letters for each bit that is used. The letter "x" indicates that a bit is not used in the parameter; its value does not matter. For example, the definition "xxxx abcd" indicates that the top four bits are not used but the bottom four bits are used as function parameters.
Purpose:
Converts an ASCII character array to EBCDIC.
Format:
#include "icadeclt.h" unsigned int ICAENTRY atoe(source_ptr,dest_ptr, length); unsigned char *source_ptr; /* Pointer to source. */ unsigned char *dest_ptr; /* Pointer to */ /* destination. */ unsigned int length; /* Length of arrays. */Remarks:
The atoe function takes an ASCII character array pointed to by source_ptr and converts it to an EBCDIC character array. The pointer dest_ptr should point to where the converted characters is stored. Instead of using the null character ('\0') to mark the end of the array, the length parameter is used to set the number of characters to convert.
This routine performs the same function as PROM Services interrupt 0xC4.
Returns:
Converted destination string. Function value = 0x0000 = Normal completion, no errors. 0x0001 = Zero array length.Example:
#include "icadeclt.h" unsigned char ascii_buf[10], ebcdic_buf[10]; int error_code; error_code = atoe (ascii_buf, ebcdic_buf, 10);Related Topics:
convtptr, etoa
Purpose:
Reads the command byte field of the task's buffer control block (BCB).
Format:
#include "icadeclt.h" unsigned char ICAENTRY bcb_cmd_r(void);Remarks:
The bcb_cmd_r function reads the calling task's BCB command byte field.
Returns:
No error codes are returned by this function.
Function value = Command byte from the task's BCB
Example:
#include "icadeclt.h" unsigned char next_command; next_command = bcb_cmd_r();Related Topics:
bcb_ib_r, bcb_ob_r, bcb_st_r
Purpose:
Reads the length and address of the task's input buffer from the buffer control block (BCB).
Format:
#include "icadeclt.h" void ICAENTRY bcb_ib_r(inlength,inptr); unsigned int *inlength; /* Address of buffer */ /* length */ unsigned char **inptr; /* Address of buffer */ /* pointer */Remarks:
The bcb_ib_r function reads the input buffer address and length from the task's BCB. The inlength and inptr parameters should contain the addresses of where the input buffer length and address is stored. The input buffer address is converted from page-and-offset format to C-pointer format before it is returned.
Returns:
No error codes are returned by this function.
Example:
#include "icadeclt.h" unsigned int inbuf_length; unsigned char *inbuf_addr; bcb_ib_r (&inbuf;_length,&inbuf;_addr);Related Topics:
bcb_cmd_r, bcb_ib_w, bcb_ob_r, bcb_st_r
Purpose:
Writes to the input buffer fields of the task's buffer control block (BCB).
Format:
#include "icadeclt.h" void ICAENTRY bcb_ib_w(inlength,inptr); unsigned int inlength; /* Input buffer length */ unsigned char *inptr; /* Input buffer address */Remarks:
The bcb_ib_w function writes to the BCB input buffer fields, where inlength is the buffer's length and inptr is the address of the input buffer. The buffer address is converted to page:offset format before it is written to the BCB.
If the buffer is in acquired storage, the storage address should be converted with the seg2page function and then written directly to the task's BCB.
The BCB buffer fields should be initialized before the task begins communication with a system unit program.
Returns:
No error codes are returned by this function.
Example:
#include "icadeclt.h" unsigned char input_buffer[10]; bcb_ib_w(10,input_buffer);Related Topics:
bcb_ib_r, bcb_init, bcb_ob_w, bcb_st_w
Purpose:
Initializes the buffer fields of the task's buffer control block (BCB).
Format:
#include "icadeclt.h" void ICAENTRY bcb_init(slength,stptr,inlength,inptr, outlen,outptr); unsigned int slength; /* Status buffer fields */ unsigned char *stptr; unsigned int inlength; /* Input buffer fields */ unsigned char *inptr; unsigned int outlen; /* Output buffer fields */ unsigned char *outptr;Remarks:
The bcb_init function writes to the status buffer, input buffer, and output buffer fields in the task's BCB. This function combines the functions of bcb_ib_w, bcb_ob_w and bcb_st_w. The buffer addresses are converted to page:offset format before they are written to the BCB.
The BCB buffer fields should be initialized before the task begins communication with a system unit program.
If any buffers are in acquired storage, the storage addresses should be converted with the seg2page function and then written directly to the task's BCB.
Returns:
No error codes are returned by this function.
Example:

The bcb_ob_r function returns the output buffer length and address in the parameters outlen and outptr. The values are read from the task's BCB. The output buffer address is converted from page:offset format to C-pointer format before it is returned.
Returns:
No error codes are returned by this function.
Example:
#Include "icadeclt.h" unsigned int outbuf_len; unsigned char *outbuf_ptr; bcb_ob_r(&outbuf;_len,&outbuf;_ptr);Related Topics:
bcb_ib_r, bcb_ob_w, bcb_st_r
Purpose:
Writes to the output buffer field of the task's buffer control block (BCB).
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" void ICAENTRY bcb_ob_w(outlen,outptr); unsigned int outlen; /* Length of output */ /* buffer. */ unsigned char *outptr; /* Address of output */ /* buffer. */Remarks:
The bcb_ob_w function writes to the task's BCB output buffer fields, where outlen is the buffer length and outptr is the buffer address. The address is converted to page:offset format before it is written to the BCB.
If the buffer is in acquired storage, the storage address should be converted with the seg2page function and then written directly to the task's BCB.
The BCB buffer fields should be initialized before the task begins communication with a system unit program.
Returns:
No error codes are returned by this function.
Example:
#Include "icadeclt.h" unsigned char output_buffer[10]; bcb_ob_w(10,output_buffer);Related Topics:
bcb_ib_w, bcb_init, bcb_ob_r, bcb_st_w
Purpose:
Reads the length and address of the task's extended status buffer from the task's buffer control block (BCB).
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" void ICAENTRY bcb_st_r(slength,stptr); unsigned int *slength; /* Address of buffer */ /* length */ unsigned char **stptr; /* Address of buffer */ /* pointer */Remarks:
The bcb_st_r function reads the extended status buffer length and address from the task's BCB, and returns them in the slength and stptr parameters. The status buffer address is converted from page:offset format to C-pointer format before it is returned.
Returns:
No error codes are returned by this function.
Example:
#Include "icadeclt.h" unsigned int estat_length; unsigned char *estat_addr; bcb_st_r (&estat;_length,&estat;_addr);Related Topics:
bcb_cmd_r, bcb_ib_r, bcb_ob_r, bcb_st_w
Purpose:
Writes to the extended status buffer fields of the task's buffer control block (BCB).
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" void ICAENTRY bcb_st_w(slength,stptr); unsigned int slength; /* Length of buffer */ unsigned char *stptr; /* Address of buffer */Remarks:
The bcb_st_w function writes to the task's BCB extended status buffer fields, where slength is the buffer length and stptr is the buffer address. The address is converted to page&ggml.offset; format before it is written in the BCB.
If the buffer is in acquired storage, the storage address should be converted with the seg2page function and then written directly to the task's BCB.
The BCB buffer fields should be initialized before the task begins communication with a system unit program.
Returns:
No error codes are returned by this function.
Example:
#Include "icadeclt.h" unsigned char estat_buffer[10]; bcb_st_w(10,estat_buffer);Related Topics: bcb_ib_w, bcb_init, bcb_ob_w, bcb_st_r
Purpose:
Cancels the use of a software timer.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY cantime(timer); unsigned char timer;Remarks:
The cantime function cancels the software timer given by the timer parameter. If the timer is not running, no action is taken.
This routine performs the same function as the svccantm function, except that cantime does not cause a dispatch cycle when it is invoked. This is the same function as SVI 0x68.
Returns:
Function value = 0x0000 = Normal completion, no errors 0x0015 = Invalid timer number 0x0005 = Access deniedA software timer should be allocated with the svcalloc function and started with the svctimer or svcprdic functions before it can be canceled.
Example:
#Include "icadeclt.h" unsigned char timer_num; /* Start and cancel a */ /* software timer. */ unsigned int duration; void (far *timer_handler)(void); /* Assume timer is */ /* already allocated. */ svctimer(timer_num,duration,timer_handler); /* Start software timer. */ cantime(timer_num); /* Cancel timer. */Related Topics:
svcalloc, svccantm, svcprdic, svctimer
Purpose:
Enables, disables, or configures a port for a counter/timer and parallel I/O unit (CIO).
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY cioreg(port,request,table_ptr); unsigned char port; unsigned char request; unsigned char *table_ptr;Remarks:
The cioreg function enables, disables, or configures a CIO port or accesses the CIO registers. Port C of CIO 0 cannot be configured. Realtime Control Microcode Version 2.01 has added support for additional CIO ports. All registers may be read, and all registers except the interrupt vector registers and the command and status registers may be written. The CIO port should be allocated with the svcalloc function before it is used.
The parameter port should contain the number of the port to configure. The bit-sensitive request parameter is used to define the CIO operation; the following table shows the request bits and their corresponding operations:
00xxxxx0 = Disable port 01xxxxx0 = Enable port 10xxxxx0 = Disable port and write CIO registers 11xxxxx0 = Disable port, write CIO registers and enable port xxxxxxx1 = Read CIO registersIf a read or write register request is made, the pointer table_ptr should point to a parameter table. The first character of the parameter table should be a count of registers to read or write. Following the count are character pairs in which the first character in the pair is a pointer to the register to be read or written. If a write is requested, the second character is the value to write; if a read is requested, the second character is overwritten with the value read.
Only the following CIO register pointers are valid. These pointers do not correspond directly with the Z8036 CIO register address specification. Registers 0x09 and 0x0A are read only; all others are read/write.
0x00 Data register 0x01 Mode specification register 0x02 Handshake register 0x03 Polarity register 0x04 Direction register 0x05 Special I/O register 0x06 Pattern polarity register 0x07 Pattern transition register 0x08 Pattern mask register 0x09 Command/status register (read only) 0x0A Interrupt vector register (read only)This routine performs the same function as PROM Services interrupt 0xA6. See your co-processor adapter's Technical Reference manual for more information on programming the 8036 CIO.
Returns:
Function value = 0x0000 = Normal completion, no errors 0x0001 = Invalid register specification if a read was requested; or invalid port 0x0018 = Invalid port number.
Example:
#Include "icadeclt.h" unsigned char cio_table[10], port, request; /* Set up CIO port 0 for straight-forward ASYNC */ cio_table[0] = 4; /* Four registers to write */ cio_table[1] = 1; /* Mode spec. reg */ cio_table[2] = 0; /* = bit-port, disable */ /* pattern match */ cio_table[3] = 3; /* Polarity register */ cio_table[4] = 0; /* = non-inverting */ cio_table[5] = 4; /* Direction register */ cio_table[6] = 0; /* = all output bits */ cio_table[7] = 0; /* Data register */ cio_table[8] = 0; /* = dummy data */ port = 0; /* Select port 0 */ request = 0xC0; /* Disable,write,enable */ cioreg(port,request,cio_table);/* Set up CIO port 0*/Related Topics:
ciotimer, svcalloc
Purpose:
Stops, starts, triggers or configures the requested hardware timer.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" unsigned int ICAENTRY ciotimer(timer,request,timeout); unsigned char timer; /* CIO timer number */ unsigned char request; /* Request code */ unsigned int timeout; /* Timeout value */Remarks:
The ciotimer function starts, stops, triggers, and configures a timer for a counter/timer and parallel I/O unit (CIO). CIO 0 timer 3 cannot be accessed. The timer parameter should contain the number of the timer to configure. The request parameter is bit-sensitive so that various options can be combined into one call. The following table shows the request bits and their corresponding operations:
xxxxxxx1 Activates bit 2; set single or continuous mode xxxxx0x1 Stop timer and set single-cycle mode xxxxx1x1 Stop timer and set continuous- cycle mode x1xxxxxx Activates bit 7; set restart or retrigger 01xxxxxx Restart timer (starts count from where it left off with same options) 11xxxxxx Retrigger timer (reloads count with new options) xx1xxxxx Activates bit 4; disable or enable interrupts xx10xxxx Disable timer interrupts xx11xxxx Enable timer interrupts xxxxxx1x Read timer count into timeout parameter (stops timer)If the timeout has a value of 0, the timer timeout value is not changed; otherwise, the timer gets the new timeout value.
If a request is made to change the continuous/single cycle mode and/or the timeout value and a restart option is chosen, the reconfiguration does not take effect until the next (re)trigger of the timer.
Returns:
If a timeout is read, the function return value contains the timeout value; otherwise, the return value is meaningless.
A CIO timer should be allocated with the svcalloc before it is accessed.
This routine does not return an error code.
Example:
#Include "icadeclt.h" /* Request codes */ #define STOP_CONT 0x05 #define READ_TIMER 0x02 unsigned int ICAENTRY timeout; /* Stop timer 0, set continuous mode, */ /* and read timeout value */ timeout = ciotimer(0,(STOP_CONT|READ_TIMER),0);Related Topics:
cioreg, svcalloc
Purpose:
Reads the appropriate diagnostic address compare (DAC) registers.

Writes to the appropriate diagnostic address compare (DAC) registers.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" void ICAENTRY dacwrite (controlinfo, physaddr, range, mode) unsigned int controlinfo; unsigned long physaddr; unsigned int range; unsigned char mode;Remarks:
The dacwrite function performs the write function of INT CEh, AH = 06. The dacwrite function is passed control information, a physical address, a range and a mode. This function is defined only for Realtime Control Microcode Version 2.01.

Purpose:
Restores the machine environment after an application has used a dispatch extended service hook. This routine is available only in Realtime Control Microcode Version 2.01.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" void ICAENTRY dhook_exit (exit_flag, dhookrb) unsigned int exit_flag; struct hookrbstruct *dhookrb;Remarks:
The user application must ensure that upon return to Realtime Control Microcode Version 2.01, the stack frame is intact.

#Include "icadeclt.h" #define normexit 0x0; struct hookrbstruct dhookrb; dhook_exit (normexit, &dhookrb;);Related Topics:
dhook_ntry, hookntry, hookexit
Purpose:
Saves the machine environment when using the dispatch extended service hook. This routine is available only in Realtime Control Microcode Version 2.01.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" struct dhookenv far *ICAENTRY dhook_ntry (void);Remarks:
If this call is used in an interrupt handler, it must be the first instruction in the interrupt handler. This function is used for dispatch extended service hooks to save the environment of the interrupted task. It returns a pointer to the saved registers on the stack. These registers may be referenced with the dhookenv structure.
This routine cannot be shared by more than one task.
Returns:
Function value = Pointer to saved registers on stack.
Example:
#Include "icadeclt.h" struct dhookenv far *hookenv; hookenv = dhook_ntry();Related Topics:
dhook_exit, hookexit, hookntry
Purpose:
Disables preemption for completion of a critical path.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY dispreempt(void);Remarks:
The dispreempt function disables the preempt capability of the posti function. If tasks of a higher priority are posted while preemption is disabled, a flag is set so that when preemption is enabled, the higher priority task can be given immediate control. Preemption may not be enabled or disabled from an interrupt handler.
This routine performs the same function as the Disable Preempt SVI.
Returns:
Function value = 0x0000 = Normal completion; no errors 0x0005 = Access denied (when called from an interrupt handler)
Example:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int error_code; error_code = dispreempt();Related Topics:
enpreempt
Purpose:
Connects an 80186 direct memory access (DMA) channel to any of the four serial communications controller (SCC) DMA request outputs. This function is not supported in Realtime Control Microcode Version 2.01.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY dmaconec(channel,connection,new_dma, old_dma); unsigned char channel; unsigned char connection; unsigned char *new_dma; unsigned char *old_dma;Remarks:
The dmaconec function connects a DMA channel to any of the four SCC DMA outputs. This routine provides the facility to connect either DMA channel without disturbing the other channel, or to connect both channels with a single call. No checking is done; it is the caller's responsibility to ensure the integrity of the hardware and software systems when using this routine (ownership of resources, correctness of channel selection, target DMA channel(s) stopped, etc.). This routine should not be used with Realtime Control Microcode Version 2.01, because 80186 DMA channels cannot be connected to the communication ports.
The channel parameter has three valid values:
0x00 = Only connect DMA channel 0 0x01 = Only connect DMA channel 1 0xFF = Connect both DMA channelsThe bottom four bits of the connection parameter (xxxx aabb) are used to choose the type of DMA connection. To connect only one channel without disturbing the other, bb is used and aa is ignored. To connect both channels at the same time, bb is used for channel 0 and aa is used for channel 1.
The following bit codes are used for aa and bb:
00 = connect SCC port A transmit to DMA request 01 = connect SCC port A receive to DMA request 10 = connect SCC port B transmit to DMA request 11 = connect SCC port B receive to DMA requestThe parameters new_dma and old_dma are returned by dmaconec. The parameter new_dma returns the new value of the DMA allocation register with the bit pattern "aabb 0000," where aa is the channel-1 setting and bb is the channel-0 setting. The parameter old_dma returns the old value of the DMA allocation register with the same bit pattern "aabb 0000" where aa is the channel-1 setting and bb is the channel-0 setting. The bit codes returned in new_dma and old_dma have the same meaning as the codes in the connection parameter.
This routine performs the same function as PROM Services interrupt 0xAA.
Returns:
If used with Realtime Control Microcode Version 2.01, this routine returns a value of 0x0001.
Example:
#Include "icadeclt.h" unsigned char newdma, olddma; unsigned int error; /* Connect DMA channel */ /* 0 to SCC port A */ /* receive */ error = dmaconec(0x00, 0x01, &newdma;, &olddma;);Related Topics:
dmareg, dmastart, dmastop, dmaxlate, svcalloc
Purpose:
Reads six words from a 12-byte table and writes them to the specified direct memory access (DMA) channel registers, or reads the DMA channel registers and writes them to a 12-byte table.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" void ICAENTRY dmareg(port,rw,table_ptr); unsigned int port; unsigned char rw; unsigned int *table_ptr;Remarks:
The dmareg function reads or writes the DMA channel registers. If writing the registers, the table must contain precisely the correct data for the DMA, as specified in the Intel manuals; no validity checking is done. (Source and destination must be physical memory and/or I/O addresses.) The 12-byte table should have the following format:
Offset Contents ====================================================== 0 Source low-order 16 bits of 20-bit physical address +2 Source high-order 4 bits of 20-bit physical address +4 Destination low-order 16 bits of 20-bit physical address +6 Destination high-order 4 bits of 20-bit physical address +8 Byte or word count (depends on control word value) +10 DMA control wordIf the rw parameter is less than 0x80, then the DMA registers are written. If it is greater than or equal to 0x80, then the DMA registers are read. The port parameter should contain the DMA base address returned in the DMAADDR field of the DMA request block by the svcalloc function.
A DMA should be allocated with the svcalloc function before it is used. This routine performs the same function as PROM Services interrupt 0xAE.
Returns:
If a read is selected, the data in the table read is selected; otherwise, the routine does not return a function value.
Example:
#Include "icadeclt.h" unsigned char dma_table[12]; unsigned int dma_port_address; dmareg(dma_port_address,0x00,&dma;_table); /* Read the DMA registers */Related Topics:
dmaconec, dmastart, dmastop, dmaxlate, svcalloc
Purpose:
Sets up and starts a direct memory access (DMA) channel.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY dmastart(request,control, port_addr,channel_addr,table_ptr); unsigned char request; unsigned int control; unsigned int port_addr; unsigned int channel_addr; unsigned int *table_addr;Remarks:
The dmastart function sets up and starts one DMA channel. This function is intended to simplify the most common setups of the 80186 DMA channels. The user provides I/O addresses, the DMA control word, memory addresses, and transfer counts. This routine optionally converts memory addresses from segment:offset format to the physical address format that the DMA requires. The selected DMA channel is configured by writing the control word last so that the DMA operation may be immediately started without a separate call. I/O-to-memory (receive), memory-to-I/O (transmit), and memory-to-memory DMA types are supported; I/O-to-I/O is not. No checking of input data is done. This routine is designed to be called by preparatory setup and checking routines.
The control parameter should contain the DMA control word. The port_addr parameter should contain the port address for either the source or destination (not needed for memory-to-memory options). The channel_addr parameter should contain the I/O port address for the selected DMA channel. The request parameter is bit-sensitive and determines the type of operation and the format of the table pointed to by table_ptr. The following request bit codes and table formats are accepted:
I/O-to-Memory (segment:offset) request = 001x xxxx table = +------------------------+ | Destination offset | | Destination segment | | Maximum transfer | +------------------------+ Memory-to-I/O (segment:offset) request = 010x xxxx table = +------------------------+ | Source offset | | Source segment | | Transmit transfer count| +------------------------+ Memory-to-Memory (segment:offset) request = 011x xxxx table = +------------------------+ | Source offset | | Source segment | | Destination offset | | Destination segment | | Transfer count | +------------------------+ I/O-to-Memory (physical address) request = 101x xxxx table = +------------------------+ | Physical destination | | address (low 16 bits) | | Physical destination | | address (high 4 bits) | | Maximum transfer count | +------------------------+ Memory-to-I/O (physical address) request = 110x xxxx table = +-------------------------+ | Physical source address | | (low 16 bits) | | Physical source address | | (high 4 bits) | | Transmit byte count | +-------------------------+ Memory-to-Memory (physical address) request = 111x xxxx table = +-------------------------+ | Physical source address | | (low 16 bits) | | Physical source address | | (high 4 bits) | | Physical destination | | address (low 16 bits) | | Physical destination | | address (high 4 bits) | | Transfer count | +-------------------------+This routine performs the same function as PROM Services interrupt 0xAC. The svcalloc function should be used to allocate a DMA before it is used.
Returns:
Function value = 0x0000 = Normal operation; no errors 0x0001 = Request rejected because of invalid parametersExample:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int error_code; char far *mem_addr;/* Source address for DMA transfer */ unsigned int dma_channel, io_port; unsigned int dma_control_word; unsigned int dma_table[3]; /* Set up table for I/O-to-memory transfer of 1000 */ /* bytes. Source address has segment:offset format */ dma_table[0] = (unsigned int) FP_OFF(mem_addr); dma_table[1] = (unsigned int) FP_SEG(mem_addr); dma_table[2] = (unsigned int) 1000; /* Set up DMA for I/O-to-memory transfer */ error_code = dmastart(0x20, dma_control_word, io_port, dma_channel, dma_table);Related Topics:
dmaconec, dmareg, dmastop, dmaxlate, svcalloc
Purpose:
Stops a DMA channel.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY dmastop(dma_port); unsigned int dma_port;Remarks:
The dmastop function immediately stops a DMA channel regardless of the operation in progress, and returns the byte count register as the function return value. The byte count is read after a short settling delay; no checking is done. The dma_port parameter should contain the DMA port address of the channel to stop.
This routine performs the same function as PROM Services interrupt 0xB0.
Returns:
This routine does not return an error code.
Function value = Residual byte count.
Example:
#Include "icadeclt.h" unsigned int ICAENTRY dma_port_address; unsigned int byte_count; byte_count = dmastop(dma_port_address);Related Topics:
dmaconec, dmareg, dmastart, dmaxlate, svcalloc
Purpose:
Converts a segment:offset address to the physical address format used by the 80186 DMA.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" unsigned long ICAENTRY dmaxlate(segaddr); char far **segaddr;Remarks:
The dmaxlate function reads a 4-byte logical segment:offset address from memory, translates it to the physical address form that is required by the 80186 DMA device, and writes the result back into the same memory locations (overwriting the input).
This routine performs the same function as PROM Services interrupt 0xB2. This routine does not return an error code.
Returns:
Function value = A 20-bit address contained in a 32-bit field.
Example:
#Include "icadeclt.h" char text_buffer[100]; char far *buffer_ptr; unsigned long buffer_phys_addr; /* Get address of buffer, and */ /* convert to physical address */ buffer_ptr = text_buffer; buffer_phys_addr = dmaxlate(&buffer;_ptr);Related Topics:
dmaconec, dmareg, dmastart, dmastop, svcalloc
Purpose:
Converts EMM handle, logical page number, and offset to a page and offset. This routine is available only in Realtime Control Microcode Version 2.01.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY emm2page (emmhandle, logpgnum, pgoffset, physpage, physoff) unsigned int emmhandle, logpgnum, pgoffset; unsigned int *physpage; unsigned int *physoff;Remarks:
The page and offset is used by the system unit to view physical memory.
emmhandle = EMM handle logpgnum = logical page number pgoffset = offset in logical pageReturns:
physpage physoff Function value = 0x0000 = No error 0x0001 = Invalid entry parameter 0x0005 = Access denied (expanded memory not present) 0x000E = Unknown EMM handle 0x000F = Logical page number out of range 0x0012 = Address out of range (offset greater than 64KB)Example:
#Include "icadeclt.h" struct emmrbstruct EMM; unsigned int physpage; unsigned int physoff; emm2page(emm.emmhandle, 1, 0, &physpg;, &physoff;); /* Convert EMM handle, logical page */ /* number 1; offset 0 to a page:offset */ /* address */Related Topics:
emm2phys
Purpose:
Converts an EMM handle, logical page number, and offset to a 32-bit physical address. This routine is available only in Realtime Control Microcode Version 2.01.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY emm2phys (emmhandle, logpgnum, pgoffset, physaddr) int emmhandle,logpgnum,pgoffset; unsigned long *physaddr;Remarks:
The system unit uses the page offset address to view physical memory. The physical page number is the page in 80186 addressable memory where the expanded memory page is to be mapped. The physical page numbers range from 0 through the number of pages in the page frame minus 1.
The logical page number contains the number of the page to be mapped to the physical page frame. Logical pages are numbered 0 relative and must be in the range 0 through the number of pages allocated to the EMM handle minus 1. If a logical page number of minus 1 is specified, the physical page number specified in pgoffset is unmapped and made inaccessible for reading or writing.
emmhandle = EMM handle logpgnum = logical page number pgoffset = offset within logical pageReturns:
physaddr = 32-bit physical address Function value = 0x0000 = No errors 0x0001 = Invalid entry parameter 0x0005 = Access denied (expanded memory not present) 0x000E = Unknown EMM handle 0x000F = Logical page number out of range 0x0012 = Address out of range 0x0013 = Invalid data (offset greater than 16KB)Example:
#Include "icadeclt.h" struct emmrbstruct EMM; unsigned long physaddr; emm2phys(emm.emmhandle, 2, 0, &physaddr;); /* Convert EMM handle, logical page number */ /* 2; offset 0 to a 32-bit physical address.*/Related Topics:
emm2page, map_emm, map_physpg
Purpose:
Enables preemption at completion of a critical path.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY enpreempt(void);Remarks:
The enpreempt function enables the preempt capability of the POSTI function. If a higher priority task was posted while preemption was disabled, that task is given control. Preemption may not be enabled or disabled from an interrupt handler.
This routine performs the same function as the Enable Preempt SVI.
Returns:
Function value = 0x0000 = Normal completion; no errors 0x0005 = Access denied (when called from an interrupt handler)Example:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int error_code; error_code = enpreempt();Related Topics:
dispreempt
Purpose:
Reads the contents of the task's extended status buffer.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY estat_r(target,count); char *target; unsigned int count;Remarks: The estat_r function reads the contents of the task's extended status buffer. The target parameter should be a pointer to a target buffer where the status buffer bytes are written. The count parameter is the number of bytes to read. If the byte count is larger than the length of the status buffer, the entire status buffer is returned and an error is indicated. The actual number of bytes transferred can be found by using the bcb_st_r function to get the length of the buffer. It is assumed that the target area is large enough to receive the data.
Returns:
Function value = 0x0000 = Normal completion; no errors 0x0013 = Byte count greater than the size of the status bufferExample:
#Include "icadeclt.h" char temp_buffer[20]; int error_code; error_code = estat_r(temp_buffer,20); /* Read 20 bytes of status buffer */ /* into temporary buffer */Related Topics:
bcb_st_r, estat_w
Purpose:
Writes the task's extended status buffer.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY estat_w(source,count); char *source; unsigned int count;Remarks:
The estat_w function writes count bytes from the buffer referenced by the source parameter to the task's extended status buffer. If the count parameter is greater than the length of the buffer, nothing is written and an error code is returned. The length of the extended status buffer can be found by using the bcb_st_r function.
Returns:
Function value = 0x0000 = Normal completion; no errors 0x0013 = Count value is larger than the length of the extended status bufferExample:
#Include "icadeclt.h" char temp_buffer[20] = "New status bytes"; int error_code; error_code = estat_w(temp_buffer,20); /* Write 20 bytes to */ /* the status buffer */Related Topics:
bcb_st_r, estat_r
Purpose:
Converts an EBCDIC character array to an ASCII string.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY etoa(source_ptr,destn_ptr, length); unsigned char *source_ptr; unsigned char *destn_ptr; unsigned int length;Remarks:
The etoa function takes as input an EBCDIC character array pointed to by source_ptr and converts length bytes to ASCII. It stores the converted characters in the area pointed to by destn_ptr. This performs the same function as PROM Services interrupt 0xC2.
Returns:
Function value = 0x0000 = Normal completion; no errors 0x0001 = Request rejected due to 0-byte countExample:
#Include "icadeclt.h" unsigned char ebcdic_buf[100]; unsigned char ascii_buf[100]; int error_code; error_code = etoa(ebcdic_buf,ascii_buf,100);Related Topics:

Purpose:
Clears external/status interrupts for a port. This routine does not enable interrupts.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY extstcl (port,status); unsigned char port; unsigned char *status;Remarks:
For the Realtime Interface Co-Processor, Realtime Interface Co-Processor Multiport, and Realtime Interface Co-Processor Multiport/2 adapters, the extstcl function clears a pending external/status interrupt and returns the values of the external/status control inputs (DCD, zero count, transmit underrun, break/abort, CTS, RI, and DSR) for the specified port. This includes issuing an EOI to the SCC and/or CIO, as required, clearing IP and IUS on the CIO, as required, and issuing a reset external/status to the SCC port. This routine should be used only for SCC/CIO packages, communication port packages, RS-232 ports, or RS-422 ports. It is the responsibility of the application to verify that the installed EIB is appropriate for the service requested.
For the Realtime Interface Co-Processor Portmaster Adapter/A and Realtime Interface Co-Processor Multiport Adapter, Model 2, this SVI does not issue a nonspecific EOI to the 80186 processor or &pdma.; this must be done by the user. The zero count, transmit underrun, and break/abort bits (1, 6, and 7) are reserved and 0's are returned. If half rate select (HRS) is defined as an input signal, the value is returned in bit 2. This SVI should be used only with communication port packages.
The format of the status parameter is abcdefgh, where the bits have the following meanings:
Zilog: Signetics: ======================================================== a=value of break/abort a=reserved b=value of transmit b=reserved underrun c=value of CTS c=value of CTS RS-232 only) RS-232 only) d=value of DSR d=value of DSR RS-232 only) RS-232 only) e=value of DCD e=value of DCD RS-232 only) RS-232 only) f=value of HRS f=value of HRS input signal input signal g=value of zero count g=reserved h=value of ring indicate h=value of Ring Indicate RS-232 only) RS-232 only)This routine performs the same function as Clear External/Status Interrupts SVI for Realtime Control Microcode.
Returns:
Function value = 0x0000 = Normal completion; no errors 0x0005 = Access denied (function not supported on port) 0x0018 = Invalid port numberExample:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int error_code; unsigned char status; error_code = extstcl(3, &status;); /* Clear port 3 external */ /* status interrupts */Related Topics:
extstco, extstqu
Purpose:
Enables or disables the external/status interrupt inputs for a port.
This routine does not enable interrupts.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY extstco (port,select,request); unsigned char port; unsigned char select; unsigned char request;Remarks:
For the Realtime Interface Co-Processor, Realtime Interface Co-Processor Multiport, and Realtime Interface Co-Processor Multiport/2 adapters, the extstco function enables or disables the external/status interrupt inputs (DCD, zero count, transmit underrun, break/abort, CTS, RI and DSR) for the specified port. Multiple inputs may be affected by one call.
The select parameter indicates which inputs are to be affected by the call; all others are left in their previous states. Enabling and disabling of different inputs may be done by the same call. The request value indicates the request to enable or disable the input for each affected input.
This routine should be used only for SCC/CIO packages, communication port packages, RS-232 ports, or RS-422 ports. It is the responsibility of the application to verify that the installed EIB is appropriate for the service requested.
The format of the select parameter is abcdefgh where the bits have the following meanings:

The format of the request parameter is identical to that of the select, with each bit value being the enable or disable of that input interrupt (1 = enable; 0 = disable).
For the Realtime Interface Co-Processor Portmaster Adapter/A and Realtime Interface Co-Processor Multiport Adapter, Model 2, this SVI does not issue a nonspecific EOI to the 80186 processor or DMA/Peripheral Interface Communications Controller, the zero count, transmit underrun, and break/abort bits (1, 6, and 7) are reserved and 0's are returned. If half rate select (HRS) is defined as an input signal, the value is returned in bit 2. The DCD and CTS signals share an interrupt enable bit. They are either enabled or disabled together. If the bits for DCD and CTS are set differently, DCD gets precedence over CTS and the bits are enabled or disabled according to the DCD bits in the select parameter. This SVI should be used only with communication port packages.
This routine performs the same function as External/Status Interrupt Control SVI for Realtime Control Microcode.
Returns:
Function value = 0x0000 = Normal completion; no errors 0x0005 = Access denied (function not supported on port) 0x0018 = Invalid port numberExample:

#Include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY extstqu (port,status); unsigned char port; unsigned char *status;Remarks:
For the Realtime Interface Co-Processor, Realtime Interface Co-Processor Multiport, and Realtime Interface Co-Processor Multiport/2 adapters, the extstqu function returns the values of the external/status control inputs (DCD, zero count, transmit underrun, break/abort, CTS, RI and DSR) for the specified port. This routine should be used only for SCC/CIO packages, communication port packages, RS-232 ports, or RS-422 ports. It is the responsibility of the application to verify that the installed EIB is appropriate for the service requested. This routine does not enable interrupts.

Purpose:
Gets the current time and stores it. This function is supported only in Realtime Control Microcode 2.01.
Format:

Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" void ICAENTRY get_ptrs(sptr); struct cbptr *sptr;Remarks:
The get_ptrs function takes the pointer sptr to a cbptr structure and fills in the structure fields. The first field in the structure is the pointer to the interface block, which is a general control block maintained by the Realtime Control Microcode. The ibstruct structure defines the fields of the interface block. The second field of the structure is a pointer to the task's TCB. The TCB fields are described by the tcbstruct structure declaration. The third field of the structure is a pointer to the task's BCB; the BCB fields are described by the bcbstruct structure declaration. The fourth, and last, field of the structure is a pointer to the task's header; the task header fields are described by the thstruct structure declaration.

Purpose:
Enables or disables the half rate select (HRS).
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY halfrate(port,request); unsigned char port; unsigned char request;Remarks:
The halfrate function enables or disables the half rate select of the specified port. On Multiport/2 EIBs, half rate select is only a feature of ports 0 and 1. On Realtime Interface Co-Processor Portmaster Adapter/A and Realtime Interface Co-Processor Multiport Adapter, Model 2 EIBs, this signal can be either an input, output, or both, as determined by the EIB ROM. This routine should be used only for SCC/CIO packages, communication port packages, RS-232 ports, or RS-422 ports. It is the responsibility of the application to verify that the installed interface board is appropriate for the service requested.
The halfrate select function is not available on the IBM X.25 Interface Co-Processor/2.
This routine assumes that the initial allocation state of the CIO is preserved.
The format of the request parameter is as follows:
0x0000 = Disable 0x0001 = EnableThis performs the same function as the half rate select SVI.
Returns:
Function value = 0x0000 = Normal completion, no error 0x0005 = Access denied (HRS not an output on port) 0x0018 = Invalid port number
Example:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int error_code; error_code = halfrate (0, 0x0001); /* Request enable of port 0 */ /* half rate select */Related Topics:

Purpose:
Restores the machine environment after an application uses a non-dispatch extended service hook. This routine is only available in Realtime Control Microcode Version 2.01.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" void ICAENTRY hook_exit (hookrb, exit_flag) unsigned int exit_flag; struct hookrbstruct *hookrb;Remarks:
The user application must ensure that upon return to Realtime Control Microcode Version 2.01, the stack frame is intact.
hookrb = Pointer to non-dispatch hook resource block exit_flag = Type of return to make to Realtime Control Microcode 2.01 0x0000 Normal = NORMOFF/NORMSEG (monitor and process type hooks) 0x0001 Quick = QUICKOFF/QUICKSEG (replace type hooks)This routine cannot be shared by more than one task.
Returns:
This routine does not return a function value.
Example:
#Include "icadeclt.h" struct hookrbstruct hookrbs; hook_exit(0, &hookrbs;); /* Normal exit to next hook */ /* element in chain */Related Topics:
dhook_exit, dhook_ntry, hook_ntry
Purpose:
Saves the machine environment prior to using a non-dispatch extended service hook.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" struct hookenv far * ICAENTRY hook_ntry (void);Remarks:
If this function is used in an interrupt handler, it must be the first instruction in the interrupt handler. This function is used for non-dispatch extended service hooks to save the environment of the interrupted task. It returns a pointer to the saved registers on the stack. These registers may be referenced with the hookparms structure.
This routine cannot be shared by more than one task.
Returns:
Function value = Pointer to saved registers on stack.
Example:
#Include "icadeclt.h" struct hookenv far *hookenv; hookenv = hook_ntry();Related Topics:
dhook_exit, dhook_ntry, hook_exit
Purpose:
Reads the task's input buffer.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY inbuf_r(target,count); char *target; unsigned int count;Remarks:
The inbuf_r function reads count bytes of the task's input buffer and stores them in the area pointed to by the target parameter. If the count parameter is greater than the length of the task's input buffer, the entire input buffer is read and an error code is returned. The actual number of bytes transferred can be found by using the bcb_ib_r function. It is assumed that the target area is large enough to receive the data.
Returns:
Function value = 0x0000 = Normal completion; no errors 0x0013 = Byte count greater than the size of the input bufferExample:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int error_code; char read_input[20]; error_code = inbuf_r(read_input,20);Related Topics:
bcb_ib_r, inbuf_w
Purpose:
Writes to the task's input buffer.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY inbuf_w(source,count); char *source; unsigned int count;Remarks:
The inbuf_w function writes count bytes to the task's input buffer from the area pointed to by source. If the count parameter is greater than the length of the input buffer, nothing is written and an error is returned. If the count parameter is 0, the length of the input buffer (read from the task's BCB) is used as the transfer count; use the bcb_ib_r function to find the length of the input buffer.
Returns:
Function value = 0x0000 = Normal completion; no errors 0x0013 = Count value is larger than the input bufferExample:
#Include "icadeclt.h" char tempbuf[24] = "Initialization Complete"; /* String to pass back to system */ /* unit application. */ int e; /* "inbuf_w" error code */ e = inbuf_w(tempbuf,24); /* Copy "tempbuf" to input buffer*/Related Topics:
bcb_ib_r, estat_w, inbuf_r, outbuf_w
Purpose:
Sets the task's priority.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY initpri(priority); unsigned char priority;Remarks:
The initpri function sets the task's priority. The task's priority defaults to 5 in the supplied task header icaheadc.obj. The task should only call initpri during initialization before it calls the svcinitc function. The change in task priority occurs immediately.
The other method of modifying the task's priority is to change the header module icaheadc.obj. Change the priority field in the task header in icaheadc.asm to the desired value, re-assemble icaheadc.asm with the /S option, and link the new icaheadc.obj module to the compiled task code. No call to initpri is necessary by this method; the task has the correct priority at startup.
Returns:
Function value = 0x0000 = No errors 0x0013 = Priority is out of the range of 0 to MAXPRIExample:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int e; unsigned char newpri = 2; e = initpri(newpri); /* Change priority from */ /* 5 to 2 */Related Topics:
None
Purpose:
Returns from an I/O or timer interrupt handler.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" void ICAENTRY int_exit(void);Remarks:
The int_exit function restores the machine environment at the end of an I/O timer interrupt handler. This function is also used for command interrupts if the supplied command handler icacmdh is replaced.
This routine cannot be shared by more than one task.
Returns:
This routine does not return an error code.
Example:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int timer_counter; void far timer_handler () { int_ntry(); /* Save machine environment */ timer_counter++;/* Increment counter */ int_exit(); /* Restore machine environment*/ }Related Topics:
int_ntry, svcalloc
Purpose:
Saves the machine environment in an interrupt handler.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" struct intenv far * ICAENTRY int_ntry(void);Remarks:
If this function is used in an interrupt handler, it must be the first statement in the interrupt handler. This function is used in I/O, timer and software interrupt handlers to save the environment of the interrupted task. This function is also used for command interrupt handlers if the supplied command handler icacmdh is replaced. This function must be called before sfw_chn in software interrupt handlers.
The int_ntry function saves all the registers on the stack. It then sets up the DS register to the DGROUP segment, which is the segment of the task header. This allows all the task's global variables to be accessed.
This routine cannot be shared by more than one task.
Returns:
A pointer to the saved registers on the stack is returned as the function value.
Example:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int i_o_counter; void far i_o_timer () /* I/O handler counts */ /* interrupts */ { int_ntry(); /* Save environment */ i_o_counter++; /* Increment counter */ int_exit(); /* Restore environment */ }Related Topics:
int_exit, sfw_chn
Purpose:
Maps or unmaps logical expanded memory pages to a page frame page. This routine is available only in Realtime Control Microcode Version 2.01 on a Portmaster Adapter/A with expanded memory.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY map_emm (pageframe, logpage, emmhandle, mappedseg) unsigned char pageframe; unsigned int logpage, emmhandle; unsigned char far **mappedseg;Remarks:
The map_emm function supports the Realtime Interface Co-Processor Portmaster Adapter/A adapters only. The mapping of expanded memory pages is preserved across dispatch cycles. The physical page number is the page in 80186 addressable memory where the expanded memory page is to be mapped. The physical page numbers range from 0 through the number of pages in the page frame -1.
The logical page number contains the number of the page to be mapped to the physical page frame. Logical pages begin at 0, and must be in the range 0 through the number of pages allocated to the EMM handle -1. If a logical page number of 0xFFFF is specified, the physical page number specified is unmapped and made inaccessible for reading or writing.
pageframe = page frame page number logpage = emmhandle logical page number emmhandle = EMM handle mappedseg = mapped segmentReturns:
Function value = 0x0000 = No errors 0x0001 = Invalid entry parameter 0x0005 = Access denied 0x000E = Unknown EMM handle 0x000F = Logical page number out of range 0x0010 = Physical page number out of rangeExample:
#Include "icadeclt.h" struct emmrbstruct EMM; unsigned char far *mappedseg; map_emm(0, 1 emm.emmhandle, &mappedseg;); /* Map first logical page to page 0. */Related Topics:
map_physpg
Purpose:
Maps or unmaps physical expanded memory pages to a page frame page. This routine is available only in Realtime Control Microcode Version 2.01.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY map_physpg (pageframe, physaddr, mappedmem) unsigned char pageframe; unsigned long physaddr; unsigned char far **mappedmem;Remarks:
The mapping of expanded memory pages is preserved across dispatch cycles. The page frame page number is the page in 80186 addressable memory where the expanded memory page is to be mapped. The page frame page numbers range from 0 through the number of pages in the page frame minus 1.
If a logical page number of minus 1 is specified, the page number specified is unmapped and made inaccessible for reading or writing.
pageframe = physical page number physaddr = 32-bit physical address to be mapped mappedmem = Segment:offset of mapped memoryReturns:
Function value = 0x0000 = No errors 0x0001 = Invalid entry parameter 0x0005 = Access denied 0x0010 = Physical page number out of range 0x0011 = Physical address mapped, but unallocated 0x0012 = Address out of range (window size > 64KB) 0x0013 = Invalid data (invalid 32-bit address)Example:
#Include "icadeclt.h" unsigned long physaddr; unsigned char far *mappedseg; map_physpg(1, physaddr, &mappedseg;); /* Map physaddr to first page.*/Related Topics:

Purpose:
Issues a non-specific end of interrupts (NSEOI) to the 80186 Programmable Interrupt Controller (PIC).
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" void ICAENTRY nseoi(void);Remarks:
The nseoi must be issued to the PIC after each I/O interrupt. There must be only one nseoi issued per interrupt.
Returns:
This routine does not return an error code.
Example:
#Include "icadeclt.h" void far i_o_handler() { int_ntry(); /* .... I/O handler code .... */ nseoi(); int_exit(); }Related Topics:
int_ntry, int_exit
Purpose:
Reads the contents of the task's output buffer.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY outbuf_r(target,count); char *target; unsigned int count;Remarks:
The outbuf_r function reads count bytes of the task's output buffer. If the count parameter is greater than the length of the output buffer, the whole buffer is read and an error is indicated in the return code. If the count parameter is equal to 0, the length of the output buffer is used as the count. The output buffer's length can be found by calling the bcb_ob_r function. It is assumed that the target area is large enough to receive the data.
Returns:
Function value = 0x0000 = Normal completion; no errors 0x0013 = Byte count greater than the size of the output bufferExample:
#Include "icadeclt.h" char tempbuf[100]; /* Copy output buffer here */ int e ; /* Error code */ e = outbuf_r(tempbuf,0);/* read entire buffer */Related Topics:
bcb_ob_r, estat_r, inbuf_r, outbuf_w
Purpose:
Writes to the task's output buffer.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY outbuf_w(source,count); char *source; unsigned int count;Remarks:
The outbuf_w function writes count bytes of the source data to the task's output buffer. If the count parameter is greater than the length of the output buffer, no data is written and an error is indicated in the error code. If the count parameter is 0, the length of the output buffer is used as the count for writing data bytes; the length of the output buffer can be found with the bcb_ob_r function.
Returns:
Function value = 0x0000 = Normal completion; no errors 0x0013 = Count value is larger than the output buffer lengthExample:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int e; char tempbuf[20] = "Command complete."; e = outbuf_w(tempbuf,20); /* Write character text to */ /* output buffer */Related Topics:
bcb_ob_r, estat_w, inbuf_w, outbuf_r
Purpose:
Translates a page:offset into a far pointer.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" char far * ICAENTRY page2seg(page_off); struct offpage *page_off;Remarks:
The page2seg function converts address formats from page:offset format to segment:offset format. The page and offset format is used by system unit programs to access co-processor adapter memory through the memory window. A common use of the page2seg function would be to load a buffer address from a task's BCB and convert it with page2seg to a 32-bit pointer; the pointer can then be used by a task to access the buffer. This conversion is done automatically by the bcb_ib_r, bcb_ob_r and bcb_st_r functions when a task is reading the address of its own buffers.
The function seg2page converts the other direction, from segment addresses to page and offset addresses.
This routine performs the same function as SVI 0x62.
Returns:
This routine does not return an error code.
Function value = Far pointer of specified page:offsetExample:
#Include "icadeclt.h" struct offpage bufaddr; char far *bufptr; /* Assume a page-and-offset address */ /* in "bufaddr" */ /* Convert it to a far pointer */ bufptr = page2seg(&bufaddr;);Related Topics:
bcb_ib_r, bcb_ob_r, bcb_st_r, seg2page
Purpose

Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY pag2segc (page_off, seg_off); struct offpage *page_off; char far **seg_off;Remarks:
This function performs the same function as SVI 0x62 and should be used for the Realtime Interface Co-Processor Portmaster Adapter/A, because an error is returned if the address is in expanded memory, or if the page size is above 64KB. The page_off parameter is the page to translate; the seg_off parameter returned is the translated segment:offset.
Returns:
Function value = 0x0000 = Translated segment and offset within installed base memory 0x0012 = 32-bit physical address and error greater than installed base memoryExample:
#Include "icadeclt.h" struct offpage bufaddr; char far *bufptr; int errcode; /* Assume a page:offset address */ /* in "bufaddr". */ /* Convert it to a 32-bit pointer. */ errcode = pag2segc(&bufaddr;, &bufptr;);Related Topics:

Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY peer_req (req) struct prbstruct *req;Remarks:
req = Far pointer to peer request block
The peer_req function supports the Realtime Interface Co-Processor Portmaster Adapter/A only. The destination task can be a task on a local or a remote processor. The remote processor can be either another Realtime Interface Co-Processor Portmaster Adapter/A adapter or the system unit.
Peer_req can be called from an interrupt handler only when the NO WAIT option in the peer request block is requested.
Refer to "Peer Request Block" (prbstruct), in Chapter 2, for a description of the peer request block. Refer to "Peer Services" in the Realtime Interface Co-Processor Firmware Technical Reference manual for an overview of the peer services provided by Realtime Control Microcode Version 2.01 for the Realtime Interface Co-Processor Portmaster Adapter/A.
This routine enables interrupts.
Returns:
Function value = 0x0000 = No errors. 0x0001 = Invalid entry parameter (the peer request block completion code field contains errors). 0x0005 = Access denied (peer services are not enabled). 0x0013 = Invalid target processor/task.Example:

physaddr = 32-bit physical address page = Address of translated page pageoff = Address of translated page offset Note: For the Realtime Interface Co-Processor Multiport Adapter, Model 2, the window size is always 8KB. On a Realtime Interface Co-Processor Portmaster Adapter/A, if the window size is greater than 64KB, then a 64KB block size is used when performing the conversion.Returns:
Function value = 0x0000 = No error 0x0002 = Page size cannot be stored in 16-bit registerExample:
#Include "icadeclt.h" unsigned long physaddr; unsigned int page; unsigned int pageoff; unsigned int error; error = phys2page(1, 2010, &page;, &pageoff;); /* Convert a physical address, windowsize*/ /* 16KB, into a page:offset address */Related Topics:

The posti function posts a task (post_task) and passes it a post_code. This is the same as the svcpost function except that it may not cause a dispatch cycle and can be used from an interrupt handler. A dispatch cycle can be caused if a higher priority task is posted causing a preemptive dispatch.
This performs the same function as SVI 0x64.
Returns:
Function value = 0x0000 = No errors 0x0005 = Access denied 0x0014 = Invalid task numberExample:
#Include "icadeclt.h" unsigned char async_task_num; unsigned int start_code; int error_code; error_code = posti(async_task_num,start_code); /* Post an ASYNC protocol task to tell it */ /* to start transmission */Related Topics:
postcd_r, svcpost, svcwait
Purpose:
Performs a bit-wise AND with the task's primary status.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" unsigned char ICAENTRY psb_and(mask); unsigned char mask;Remarks:
The psb_and function performs a bit-wise AND with the task's primary status byte and the mask parameter. This is useful for clearing bits in the primary status. The new primary status byte is returned as the function return value.
Returns:
No error codes are returned by this function.
Example:
#Include "icadeclt.h" unsigned char new_stat; new_stat = psb_and(0x3F); /* Clear PSBUSY and */ /* PSOBBZ bits */Related Topics:
psb_or, psb_r, psb_w
Purpose:
Performs a bit-wise OR with the task's primary status.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" unsigned char ICAENTRY psb_or(mask); unsigned char mask;Remarks:
The psb_or function performs a bit-wise OR with the task's primary status byte and the mask parameter. This is useful for setting bits in the primary status. The new primary status is returned as the function return value.
Returns:
No error codes are returned by this function.
Example:
#Include "icadeclt.h" unsigned char new_stat; new_stat = psb_or(0x30); /* Set ESTATS and ERROR */ /* bits after an error */ /* occurs. */Related Topics:
psb_and, psb_r, psb_w
Purpose:
Reads the task's primary status byte.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" unsigned char ICAENTRY char psb_r(void);Remarks:
The psb_r function reads the task's own primary status byte from the interface block and returns it as the function return value.
Returns:
No error codes are returned by this function.
Example:
#Include "icadeclt.h" unsigned char primstat; primstat = psb_r();Related Topics:
psb_and, psb_or, psb_w
Purpose:
Writes the task's primary status byte.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" void ICAENTRY psb_w(status); unsigned char status;Remarks:
The psb_w function writes the status parameter to the task's primary status byte. The psb_or and psb_and functions can be used for setting or clearing status bits to save the time of reading and then writing the primary status byte.
Returns:
No error codes are returned by this function.
Example:
#Include "icadeclt.h" psb_w(0x03); /* Set status bits LOADED */ /* and INITZD */Related Topics:
psb_and, psb_or, psb_r
Purpose:
Saves the contents of the page mapping registers for the entire page frame in an internal save area. This routine is available only in Realtime Control Microcode Version 2.01.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY pushpgmap(void)Remarks:
The pushpgmap function supports the Realtime Interface Co-Processor Portmaster Adapter/A only. This function saves the memory mapping context when an interrupt occurs.
Every pushpgmap call must have a corresponding poppgmap call. To maintain stack integrity, these calls must be used like the 80186 Push and Pop instructions are used to preserve the register environment in an interrupt handler.
Returns:
Function value = 0x0000 = No errors 0x0001 = Invalid entry parameter 0x0005 = Access denied (expanded memory not present) 0x001B = Stack overflow/underflowExample:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int errorcode; errorcode = pushpgmap ();Related Topics:
poppgmap
Purpose:
Reads the value of the specified CIO port data register.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY readcio(port,select,value); unsigned char port; unsigned char select; unsigned char *value;Remarks:
The readcio function reads the data register of a CIO port and returns the selected inputs. No check is made to ensure that the calling task is the owner of the port. No checks are made to ensure that a read is requested for an input bit. Data polarity resolution is the responsibility of the calling task.
For the Realtime Interface Co-Processor, Realtime Interface Co-Processor Multiport and Realtime Interface Co-Processor Multiport/2, the valid range of the port parameter depends on the presence of CIO 1, which can be determined by examining the Hardware Configuration Descriptor (HCD) bits (described in the Realtime Interface Co-Processor Firmware Technical Reference). If CIO 1 is present and functioning, the range is 0-3; otherwise, the range is 0-1.
For the Realtime Interface Co-Processor Portmaster Adapter/A and Realtime Interface Co-Processor Multiport Adapter, Model 2, the valid range depends on the presence of additional CIOs, which can be determined by examining the Hardware Configuration Descriptor (HCD) bits (described in the Realtime Interface Co-Processor Firmware Technical Reference). If CIO 7 is present and functioning, the range is 0-16h.
This routine should only be used for CIO ports, communication port packages, or SCC/CIO packages. The port parameter indicates which CIO data register to read:
0x00 = CIO 0, Port A 0x0C = CIO 4, Port B 0x01 = CIO 0, Port B 0x0D = CIO 4, Port C 0x02 = CIO 1, Port A 0x0E = CIO 5, Port A 0x03 = CIO 1, Port B 0x0F = CIO 5, Port B 0x04 = CIO 1, Port C 0x010 = CIO 5, Port C 0x05 = CIO 2, Port A 0x011 = CIO 6, Port A 0x06 = CIO 2, Port B 0x012 = CIO 6, Port B 0x07 = CIO 2, Port C 0x013 = CIO 6, Port C 0x08 = CIO 3, Port A 0x014 = CIO 7, Port A 0x09 = CIO 3, Port B 0x015 = CIO 7, Port B 0x0A = CIO 3, Port C 16 = CIO 7, Port C 0x0B = CIO 4, Port AThe readcio function should be used when the CIO has been allocated as a resource. It is normally used to interface with a special purpose electrical interface board; in this case, the bit definitions for the select and value parameters depend on the particular EIB. Although the CIO port data registers are often used in conjunction with an SCC for modem control, this function should not be used for reading modem controls.
This performs the read function of the Read/Write CIO bits SVI.
Returns:
Function value = 0x0000 = Normal completion; no errors 0x0018 = Invalid port numberExample:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int error_code; unsigned char value; error_code = readcio (3, 0x000F, &value;); /* Read CIO port 3 lower nibble only. */Related Topics:
writecio
Purpose:
Cancels the suspended state of a task.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY resumei(task); unsigned char task;Remarks:
The resumei function resumes the task after it has been suspended with the svcsspnd function. If the task was posted when it was suspended or was posted since it was suspended, the resumei function places the task on the dispatch queue. If the task is not suspended when resumei is called, no action is taken.
The resumei routine performs the same function as SVI 0x66.
Returns:
Function value = 0x0000 = Normal operation, no errors. 0x0005 = Access denied. 0x000C = Request action already performed; task is not suspended. 0x0014 = Invalid task number (task is not started or task number is out of range).Example:
#Include "icadeclt.h" unsigned char suspended_task; int error_code; error_code = resumei(suspended_task); /* Cancel suspended state of task */Related Topics:
svcrsume, svcsspnd
Purpose:
Adds an element to a structure with 32-bit forward and backward pointers.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" void ICAENTRY ringaddl(disp,before_ptr,element_ptr); unsigned int disp; unsigned char far *before_ptr; unsigned char far *element_ptr;Remarks:
The ringaddl function adds an element referenced with the element_ptr parameter to a ring structure. It is inserted into the ring just before the element referenced by the before_ptr parameter. This function assumes the existence of at least one element in the ring. The disp parameter contains the displacement of the forward and backward parameters in the ring element referenced with element_ptr. The two pointers should be far (32-bit) pointers, with the backward pointer immediately following the forward pointer.
Returns:
No error codes are returned by this function.
Example:
#Include "icadeclt.h" struct ringelem { struct ringelem far *fore; struct ringelem far *back; char elemdata[100]; } elem1, *head; /* Assume "head" points to head of */ /* ring. */ /* The "disp" is 0 because there are */ /* no fields before the pointers in */ /* the structure. */ ringaddl(0,(unsigned char far *)head, (unsigned char far *)&elem1;);Related Topics:
ringadds, ringreml, ringrems
Purpose:
Adds an element to a ring with 16-bit forward and backward pointers.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY ringadds(disp,before_offset, element_offset); unsigned int disp; unsigned char *before_offset; unsigned char *element_offset;Remarks:
The ringadds function adds the element referenced with the element_offset parameter to a ring structure. It is inserted before the element referenced with the before_offset parameter, which is assumed to be an element in the ring. The ring structure is assumed to have at least one element. The disp parameter contains the offset within the structure of the forward and backward pointers in the ring element, where the forward pointer is immediately followed by the backward pointer.
Returns:
Function value = 0x0000 = Normal completion; no errors. 0x0013 = The two ring elements are in different segments; no action is taken.Example:
#Include "icadeclt.h" struct ringelem { struct ringelem *fore; struct ringelem *back; char elemdata[100]; } elem1, *head; /* Assume "head" points to head of */ /* ring. */ /* The "disp" is 0 because there are */ /* no fields before the pointers */ ringadds(0,(unsigned char *)head, (unsigned char *)&elem1;);Related Topics:
ringaddl, ringreml, ringrems
Purpose:
Removes an element from a ring structure with 32-bit forward and backward pointers.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY ringreml(disp,element_ptr); unsigned int disp; unsigned char far *element_ptr;Remarks:
The ringreml function removes an element referenced by the element_ptr parameter from a ring structure with 32-bit forward and backward pointers. The disp parameter contains the offset of the forward and backward pointers in the ring element.
Returns:
Function value = 0x0000 = Normal completion; element is not last in the ring 0x0001 = Normal completion; element is last in the ring 0x0002 = Error detectedExample:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int error_code; struct ringelem { struct ringelem far *fore; struct ringelem far *back; char elemdata[100]; } *elem, *head; /* Remove first element from ring where */ /* "head" points to head of ring. */ /* Get pointer to first queue element. */ elem = head; /* Update "head" pointer to next element.*/ head = head.fore; /* Remove element from ring. "disp" = 0 */ /* because pointers are first in record. */ error_code = ringreml(0, (unsigned char far *)elem);Related Topics:

Purpose:
Removes an element from a ring structure with 16-bit forward and backward pointers.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY ringrems(disp,element_offset); unsigned int disp; unsigned char *element_offset;Remarks:
The ringrems function removes an element referenced by the element_offset parameter from a ring structure with 16-bit forward and backward pointers. The disp parameter contains the offset of the 16-bit pointers in the ring element.
Returns:
Function value = 0x0000 = No error; last element in ring 0x0001 = No error; not last element in ring 0x0002 = Error detectedExample:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int error_code; struct ringelem { struct ringelem *fore; struct ringelem *back; char elemdata[100]; } *elem, *head; /* Remove first element from ring where */ /* "head" points to head of ring. */ /* Get pointer to first queue element. */ elem = head; /* Update "head" pointer to next element. */ head = head.fore; /* Remove element from ring.

Purpose:
Controls the RTS and DTR outputs for a port.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY rtsdtr(port,select,request); unsigned char port; unsigned char select; unsigned char request;Remarks:
The rtsdtr function enables, disables, or enables and disables the RTS and DTR control outputs. This routine should be used only for communication port packages, SCC/CIO packages or RS-232 ports. It is the responsibility of the application to verify that the installed electrical interface board is appropriate for the service requested. Use of this routine requires that all writes to the SCC, except to the SCC data register, be performed using Realtime Control Microcode and PROM Services calls (such as sccreg).
The format of the select parameter is 000000dr, where the bits have the following meanings:
If d=0, do not alter DTR output. If d=1, write request d value to DTR. If r=0, do not alter RTS output. If r=1, write request r value to RTS.The format of the request parameter is 000000dr where the bits d and r are the values written if selected in the select parameter.
For this function, it is assumed that the initial allocation state of the CIO ports is preserved.
The rtsdtr routine performs the same function as RTS/DTR Control SVI. This routine does not enable interrupts.
Returns:
Function value = 0x0000 = Normal completion; no errors 0x0005 = Access denied (selected signal not supported on port) 0x0018 = Invalid port numberExample:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int error_code; error_code = rtsdtr (4, 0x0001, 0x0000); /* Request clear of port 4 RTS output; */ /* Leave DTR unchanged. */Related Topics:
None
Purpose:
Reads/writes any type of communications controller port.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" void ICAENTRY sccreg(port,rw,table_ptr); unsigned char port; unsigned char rw; unsigned char *table_ptr;Remarks:
The sccreg function reads any SCC/DUSCC registers and writes to any SCC/DUSCC write registers. No enabling or disabling of the port is done automatically. No checking is done to verify that the calling task owns the port or that the values written are meaningful.
The port parameter should have the number of the SCC port to access. The rw flag determines if the operation is a read or a write; values less than or equal to 0x7F indicate a write, and values greater than or equal to 0x80 indicate a read operation.
The table_ptr parameter is a pointer to a fixed format parameter table. The first byte of this table must be a non-0 count of registers to read or write. Following the count byte are byte pairs of which the first byte is always a pointer to the register to be read or written. If a write is requested, the second byte in each pair is the value to write. If a read is requested, the second byte in each pair is overwritten with the value read.
Note:
Zilog write registers 2 and 9 and DUSCC write registers ICR, IVR and MRR should not be written; changing these registers may yield unpredictable results. See the Realtime Interface Co-Processor Firmware Technical Reference for a complete list of Zilog and DUSCC registers.Tasks should acquire the communication port with the svcalloc function before using the sccreg routine.
Returns:
This routine does not return an error code.
Example:
#Include "icadeclt.h" /* Read registers 3 and 5 from Port 0 */ unsigned char scctable[5] = "\x02\x03\x00\x05\x00"; sccreg(0,0x80,scctable);Related Topics:
sccrst, svcalloc
Purpose:
Resets a specified communications controller port.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" void ICAENTRY sccrst(port); unsigned char port;Remarks:
The sccrst function issues a software reset to the selected port. The port parameter indicates which port to reset.
SCC and DUSCC ports are reset to known states. Refer to the PROM service description in your co-processor adapter's Technical Reference manual for descriptions of the states to which the communications controller ports are set.
When calling this routine to reset a Signetics DUSCC port, the interrupts to the processor must be enabled prior to issuing the sccrst. The Interrupt Enable Register (IER) of the port to be reset should be initialized to 0 (zero).
The sccrst routine cannot guarantee that the state of the processor interrupt enable flag will be preserved during its execution.
Tasks should acquire the SCC with the svcalloc before using the sccrst routine.
Returns:
This routine does not return an error code.
Example:
#Include "icadeclt.h" sccrst(1); /* Reset SCC Port 1 */Related Topics:
sccreg, svcalloc
Purpose:
Translates a co-processor adapter storage address from far pointer to page and offset format.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" void ICAENTRY seg2page(page_off,seg_off); struct offpage *page_off; char far *seg_off;Remarks:
The seg2page function converts a segment and offset address to a page and offset address. The page and offset address format is used by system unit applications to look through the memory window at co-processor adapter memory. The bcb_ib_w, bcb_ob_w and bcb_st_w functions do this automatically when storing buffer addresses in the task's BCB.
In Realtime Control Microcode Version 2.01, for window sizes greater than 64KB, the offset is 0 through 64KB; the lower-order bits of the page number contains a logical 64KB page.
The seg2page routine performs the same function as SVI 0x60.
Returns:
This routine does not return an error code.
Example:
#Include "icadeclt.h" struct offpage buf_pageaddr; char tempbuf[100]; char far *tempbufptr; /* Convert array address to page and offset */ tempbufptr = (char far *) tempbuf; seg2page(&buf;_pageaddr,tempbufptr);Related Topics:
page2seg
Purpose:
Converts a segment:offset into a translated 32-bit physical address for the Realtime Interface Co-Processor Portmaster Adapter/A, and a segment:offset to a physical address for the Realtime Interface Co-Processor Multiport Adapter, Model 2. This routine is available only in Realtime Control Microcode Version 2.01.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY seg2phys (segaddr, physaddr); char far *segaddr; unsigned long *physaddr;Remarks:
segaddr = The segment and offset value to translate. physaddr = Translated physical addressThe seg2phys function returns an input address error if the address falls within the PROM area. This routine performs the same function and uses the same data format as PROM Services routine (INT CEh, AH = 00).
Returns:
Function value = A 20-bit address contained in a 32-bit field 0x0000 = No errors 0x0001 = Input address errorExample:
#Include "icadeclt.h" unsigned long segaddr, physaddr; unsigned int error; segaddr = 0xC0000000; error = seg2phys(segaddr, &physaddr;); /* Convert segment:offset into */ /* translated physical address */Related Topics:
phys2pg
Purpose:
Sets DCE or DTE clocking option of the transmitter clock on ports 2 through 5 of a Realtime Interface Co-Processor Multiport/2 6-port synchronous electrical interface board, and ports 0 through 7 on Realtime Interface Co-Processor Portmaster Adapter/A and Realtime Interface Co-Processor Multiport Adapter, Model 2.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY setclockopt (port, option); unsigned char port; unsigned char option;Remarks:
Ports 0 and 1 on the Realtime Interface Co-Processor and Realtime Interface Co-Processor Multiport are set by jumpers. Ports 0 and 1 on the Realtime Interface Co-Processor Multiport/2 are set with the reference diskette at system configuration time. The default for the setclockopt function on power up is DCE clock. This routine performs the same function as Clocking Option Control SVI for Realtime Control Microcode Version 1.51 and Realtime Control Microcode Version 2.01.
A 0 in the option field sets the DCE clock option; a 1 in the option field sets the DTE clock option.
This routine sets to 1 or clears to 0 the associated bit in CIO 1 port C. It is assumed that the initial allocation state of CIO 1 port C is preserved. The port is the port number on which to set the clocking option.
It is the responsibility of the application to compare the returned clocking option with the requested one and if they do not match, set the clocking option correctly in hardware.
This routine assumes that the initial allocation state of the CIO ports is preserved.
This routine does not enable interrupts.
Returns:
Function value = 0x0000 = No errors. 0x0018 = Invalid port; asynchronous port only. 0x0019 = DCE clock set in hardware. 0x0119 = DTE clock set in hardware. 0x0219 = Hardware clocking option cannot be read. Task is running on the Realtime Interface Co-Processor or the Realtime Interface Co-Processor Multiport co-processor adapter.Example:
#Include "icadeclt.h" unsigned int errorcode; errorcode = setclockopt(2,1); /* Set clock option for port 2 to DTE */Related Topics:
None
Purpose:
Sets the co-processor adapter time in Realtime Control Microcode Version 2.01.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY set_time (timestruct) struct timeb *timestruct;Remarks:
timestruct = Segment/offset of time structure
The initial time is obtained from the system unit operating system support during Realtime Control Microcode Version 2.01 initialization. The DOS or OS/2 support loader issues a set time command after loading Realtime Control Microcode Version 2.01. The system unit clock and the Realtime Control Microcode Version 2.01 clock is synchronized at initialization. Due to differences between system unit processors and operating systems, the two clocks cannot be guaranteed to be perfectly synchronized. Realtime Control Microcode Version 2.01 does not attempt to correct the clock differential.
This routine does not enable interrupts.
The format of the time structure is shown below. It is identical to the structure used by the C ftime() function. By using this format, the C library time functions can be used to support time conversions on the Realtime Interface Co-Processor Portmaster Adapter/A adapter.
struct timeb { time_t time; /* Seconds since 1-1-70*/ unsigned short millitm;/* Milliseconds */ short timezone; /* Minutes from UTC, */ /* -1 = time zone */ /* undefined */ short dstflag; /* Daylight savings */ /* time flag */ };Returns:
Function value = 0x0000 = No errors 0x0001 = Invalid entry parameter 0x0013 = Invalid data (milliseconds out of range)Example:
#Include "icadeclt.h" #includeRelated Topics:struct timeb *timestruct; set_time(×truct;); ctime (×truct;); /* Convert seconds to */ /* current time */

Purpose:
Verifies that a software interrupt is intended for the task.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" void ICAENTRY sfw_chn(rbptr); struct vrbstruct *rbptr;Remarks:
The sfw_chn function is called in a software interrupt handler just after the call to the int_ntry function. The function checks the task number for which the software interrupt was intended (found in the AH register). If the interrupt's task number is the same as the current task, sfw_chn returns control to the interrupt handler; otherwise, control is passed to the next owner of the software interrupt. The rbptr parameter should point to the request block used to acquire the software interrupt.
Note: Register AH must be filled with the target task number when int86() routine is used to cause interrupt. This routine cannot be shared by more than one task.Returns:
This routine does not return an error code.
Example:
#Include "icadeclt.h" struct vrbstruct software_int; void far software_inthan() { int_ntry(); /* Save environment */ sfw_chn(&software;_int); /* Check task number */ /* Continue if same */ /* ... Code to handle interrupt ... */ sfw_exit(0,&software;_int); /* Restore environment */ /* and exit */ }Related Topics:
int_ntry, sfw_exit, svcalloc
Purpose:
Restores the machine environment and exits a software interrupt handler.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" void ICAENTRY sfw_exit(fast,rbptr); unsigned int fast; struct vrbstruct *rbptr;Remarks:
The sfw_exit function should be the last call in a software interrupt handler. It restores all the registers from their save area on the stack, and passes control either to the next user of the software interrupt or the calling task. The rbptr parameter should point to the resource request block used to acquire the software interrupt. If the fast parameter has a value of 1, control is returned directly to the calling task via the ORI_VECT field in the structure referenced by rbptr. If fast has a value of 0, control is passed to the next handler to share this software interrupt via the OLD_VECT field.
This routine cannot be shared by more than one task.
Returns:
This routine does not return an error code.
Example:
#Include "icadeclt.h" struct vrbstruct software_int; void far software_inthan() { int_ntry(); /* Save environment. */ sfw_chn(&software;_int); /* Check task number; */ /* continue if same. */ /* ... code to handle interrupt ... */ sfw_exit(1,&software;_int); /* Restore environment */ /* and exit fast. */ }Related Topics:
int_ntry, sfw_chn, svcalloc
Purpose:
Enables interrupts.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" void ICAENTRY sti(void);Remarks:
The sti function enables maskable external interrupts on the 80186 microprocessor. Interrupts can be disabled by calling the cli function.
Returns:
This routine does not return an error code.
Example:
#Include "icadeclt.h" sti();Related Topics:
cli
Purpose:
Acquires one of the Realtime Control Microcode's resources.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY svcalloc(offset); char *offset;Remarks:
Resource allocation does not change with Realtime Control Microcode Version 2.01, but resource blocks must remain in addressable 80186 memory.
The svcalloc allocates a resource such as an interrupt vector, storage block, SCC/CIO package, user queue, communications port, RS-232 port, RS-422 port, SCC port, CIO port, or hardware or software timer. A pointer to the request block is passed as the offset parameter. Only one resource may be acquired per call; the type of resource is determined by the block descriptor byte, which follows the next and prev pointers in the resource request block. This routine performs the same function as SVC 0x46.
Returns:
Function value = 0x0000 = Normal completion; no errors 0x0004 = EIB not present 0x0005 = Access denied 0x0006 = Port interface mismatch 0x0007 = Communication controller mismatch 0x0008 = Insufficient storage 0x0013 = Invalid data, such as bad task number or block descriptor 0x0015 = Invalid timer number 0x0016 = Invalid queue number 0x001A = Insufficient expanded memory pages 0x001C = Requested hook access not availableExample:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int error_code; struct srbstruct memblock = {0,0,2,0,1,0}; /* Define storage request block for task 1*/ /* Search in low storage on a paragraph */ /* boundary for 10 paragraphs of memory */ memblock.HILO = 0; memblock.BOUND = 1; memblock.SRSIZE = 10; /* Acquire storage segment stored in SRSEG field */ error_code = svcalloc(&memblock;);Related Topics:
svcdeall
Purpose:
Invokes a dispatch cycle.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY svcasap(void);Remarks:
The svcasap function causes a dispatch cycle to occur. This is a means for tasks to give up control during long code paths and allow other tasks to run. If a task does not return control to the Realtime Control Microcode by a call to svcasap or some other SVC, the Realtime Control Microcode forces a time slice within 10 milliseconds to cause a dispatch cycle to occur.
This routine performs the same function as SVC 0x40.
Returns:
Function value = 0x0000 = Normal completion; no error 0x0005 = Access denied (when called from an interrupt handler)Example:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int error_code; /* ... Part 1 of long code path ... */ error_code = svcasap(); /* ... Part 2 of long code path ... */Related Topics:
None
Purpose:
Simulates a task load from the system unit.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY svcbuild(task,taskstor,thead); unsigned char task; struct srbstruct *taskstor; struct thstruct far *thead;Remarks:
The svcbuild function creates another task on the co-processor adapter. The task parameter is the number of the new task. The taskstor parameter is a pointer to the storage request block to be given to the built task. If this parameter is NULL, the task is built in the building task's storage, and the built task is a child task of the building task. The thead parameter is a pointer to the task header for the task to be built. If the built task is built within the building task, the building task is called the parent task and the built task is called the child task.
One restriction of the svcbuild function is that a child task may not build another task. A second restriction applies if the built task is built outside of the building task in an allocated storage block. The size in the built task's header must be the size of the storage block in which the task is to be built. If this size is incorrect and the built task is subsequently unloaded, the incorrect amount of storage is returned to the free storage pool. The Realtime Control Microcode cannot detect this error because the built task does not have to reside in storage at "build" time, only at "start" time.
If a storage resource block is used in the call to allocate memory for the new task, the resource block is removed from the building task's resource block queue. The storage resource block is used to acquire storage in which the new task resides. The built task is a peer rather than a child of the building task in this case.
This routine performs the same function as SVC 0x39.
Returns:
Function value = 0x0000 = Normal completion; no errors 0x0005 = Access denied (call from an interrupt handler, or a child task attempted to build a task) 0x0013 = Invalid data (taskstor is non-0 and does not point to a valid storage request block, or thead doesn't point to a paragraph boundary) 0x0014 = Invalid task numberExample:

Purpose:
Cancels a software timer.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY svccantm(timer); unsigned char timer;Remarks:
The svccantm function cancels the use of a software timer, where the timer parameter is the number of the timer to cancel. If the timer is not running, no action is taken.
Software timers should be allocated with the svcalloc function before they are used. The only difference between the svccantm and cantime functions is that the svccantm function causes a dispatch cycle to occur.
This routine performs the same function as SVC 0x45.
Returns:
Function value = 0x0000 = Normal completion; no errors 0x0005 = Access denied (call from an interrupt handler) 0x0015 = Invalid timer numberExample:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int error_code; error_code = svccantm((unsigned char) 2); /* Cancel software timer #2 */Related Topics:
cantime, svcalloc, svcprdic, svctimer
Purpose:
Returns a Realtime Control Microcode resource.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY svcdeall(offset); char *offset;Remarks:
The svcdeall function returns a resource, such as an interrupt vector, storage block, user queue, RS-232 port, RS-422 port, SCC port, CIO port, or timer. The offset parameter should point to the resource request block that was originally used to acquire the resource.
This routine performs the same function as SVC 0x47.
Returns:
Function value = 0x0000 = Normal completion; no errors 0x0005 = Access denied (call from an interrupt handler) 0x0013 = Invalid data (bad task number, invalid block descriptor, or storage return size greater than block size) 0x0015 = Invalid timer number 0x0016 = Invalid queue number 0x0018 = Invalid port numberExample:
#Include "icadeclt.h" struct drbstruct dmablock; int error_code; /* ... Fill in "dmablock" fields ... */ error_code = svcalloc(&dmablock;); /* Allocate dma */ /* ... Use dma ... */ error_code = svcdeall(&dmablock;); /* Deallocate dma */Related Topics:
svcalloc
Purpose:
Indicates to the Realtime Control Microcode that the task's initialization is complete.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY svcinitc(perm); unsigned int perm;Remarks:
The svcinitc signals the Realtime Control Microcode that the task has finished initializing. The "initialized" bit is set to 1 in the task's primary status byte in the interface block.
The task may be marked as permanent by this function. If the perm parameter is 1, then the task is marked as permanent in the task's TCB state byte; a value of 0 indicates that the task is not permanent. Permanent tasks cannot be stopped or unloaded. If a child task is marked as permanent, the parent task is also assigned a permanent status.
If the task is already initialized, no operation is performed.
This routine performs the same function as SVC 0x48.
Returns:
Function value = 0x0000 = Normal completion; no errors 0x0005 = Access denied (called from an interrupt handler) 0x000C = No operation performed, task already initializedExample:
#Include "icadeclt.h" main() { int error_code; /* ... Initialization code ... */ /* Init complete, a permanent task */ error_code = svcinitc(1); /* ... Rest of task "main" ... */ }Related Topics:
None
Purpose:
Causes an interrupt to the system unit.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY svcintrq(request,retry_count); unsigned char request; unsigned int retry_count;Remarks:
The svcintrq function generates an interrupt to the system unit from the requesting task. Five options may be selected by the bit-sensitive request parameter.
The format of the request parameter is xxxabcde where the bits have the following meanings:
If a=1, IPL the system unit (c, d, and e not used) If b=1, Infinite retry on interrupt presentation and response; retry_count is ignored If b=0, Use retry_count for number of retries If c=1, Output buffer busy bit is cleared If d=1, Busy bit is cleared If e=1, Task is waited after interrupt x = Not usedThis routine performs the same function as SVC 0x37.
Returns:
Function value = 0x0000 = Normal completion; no errors 0x0005 = Access denied 0x0009 = Interrupt busy 0x000A = No response from system unit 0x0013 = Invalid retry count of 0Example:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int error_code; /* Interrupt PC with retry count of 100 */ /* and turn off busy and output */ /* buffer busy bits */ error_code = svcintrq (0x06, 100);Related Topics:
None
Purpose:
Places a task on the dispatch queue.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY svcpost(post_task,postcode); unsigned char post_task; unsigned int postcode;Remarks:
The svcpost function places the intended task (post_task) on the dispatch queue, if it is not suspended. It also sets the TCB posted flag and writes the postcode parameter to the intended task's TCB post code field. If the task is already posted, only the post code in the TCB is changed. If the task is suspended, the TCB postcode, the TCB posted flag, and the TCB state byte posted bit are set but the task is not put on the dispatch queue until the task is resumed. The posted flag must be reset to 0 by the task for the task to be able to wait itself.
The following bit format is recommended for postcode. This format does not have to be used because the Realtime Control Microcode does not check the postcode.
postcode = tttt tttt pppp abcd, where tttt tttt = the posting task number pppp = user-defined post code a = 1 if posted by I/O interrupt handler b = 1 if posted by timer expiration c = 1 if posted by command subroutine d = 1 if posted by General PostThis routine performs the same function as SVC 0x3F.
Returns:
Function value = 0x0000 = Normal completion; no errors 0x0005 = Access denied 0x0014 = Invalid task numberExample:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int error_code; /* General postcode of 3 to task 2 from task 1 */ error_code = svcpost(2,0x0131);Related Topics:
postcd_r, posti, svcpost
Purpose:
Starts a periodic software timer.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY svcprdic(timer,duration, handler); unsigned char timer; unsigned int duration; void (far *handler)(void);Remarks:
The svcprdic function starts a software timer that automatically restarts itself when it times out. This timer calls the user's timer vector on each time-out. This timer can be canceled in the same manner as a non-periodic timer with the cantime or svccantm functions.
The timer parameter contains the number of the timer to start; it should be acquired first with the svcalloc function. The duration parameter should contain the time duration in multiples of 5 milliseconds. For example, a duration of 1 sets a timer duration of 5 milliseconds; a duration of 2 sets a timer duration of 10 milliseconds. The handler parameter should be the name of the subroutine that handles the software timer interrupts.
This routine performs the same function as SVC 0x43.
Returns:
Function value = 0x0000 = Normal completion; no errors 0x0005 = Access denied (call from an interrupt handler) 0x0013 = Invalid data (time period is 0) 0x0015 = Invalid timer numberExample:
#Include "icadeclt.h" struct trbstruct softtimer={0,0,7,1,1,0}; int error_code; void far soft_timer_handler() { /*... Code to handle software timer ... */ } /* Allocate software timer */ error_code = svcalloc((char *) &softtimer;); /* Start timer for every 500 milliseconds */ error_code = svcprdic(1,100,soft_timer_handler);Related Topics:

Purpose:
Queries the Realtime Control Microcode for the free storage information on storage in base storage.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY svcqryfs(large_block, large_size,free_paragraphs); unsigned int *large_block; unsigned int *large_size; unsigned int *free_paragraphs;Remarks:
The svcqryfs function returns the segment of the largest block of free memory in large_block, the number of paragraphs (16 bytes) in the largest block of free memory in large_size, and the total number of paragraphs of free memory in free_paragraphs.
This routine performs the same function as SVC 0x49.
Returns:
Function value = 0x0000 = Normal completion; no errors 0x0005 = Access denied (call from an interrupt handler)Example:
#Include "icadeclt.h" unsigned int large_seg, large_size, free_par; int error_code; error_code = svcqryfs(&large;_seg,&large;_size, &free;_par);Related Topics:
None
Purpose:
Reads the contents of an interrupt vector.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY svcrdvec(vectnum,seg_off); unsigned int vectnum; VECTOR *seg_off;Remarks:
The svcrdvec function reads the 32-bit vector of the interrupt specified by the vectnum parameter and stores it at the address referenced by the seg_off parameter.
This routine performs the same function as SVC 0x42.
Returns:
Function value = 0x0000 = Normal completion; no errors 0x0005 = Access denied (call from an interrupt handler)Example:
#Include "icadeclt.h" VECTOR breakvector; int error_code; /* read the breakpoint handler address */ error_code = svcrdvec(3,&breakvector;);Related Topics:
None
Purpose:
Cancels the suspended state of a task.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY svcrsume(task); unsigned char task;Remarks:
The svcrsume function cancels the suspended state of a task, given by the task parameter. If the task was posted when it was suspended or has been posted since it was suspended, the svcrsume function puts the specified task on the dispatch queue. If the task was not suspended, no operation is performed.
This routine performs the same function as SVC 0x3E.
Returns:
Function value = 0x0000 = Normal completion; no errors 0x0005 = Access denied (call from an interrupt handler) 0x000C = Requested action already performed 0x0014 = Invalid task numberExample:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int error_code; unsigned char suspended_task; error_code = svcrsume(suspended_task);Related Topics:
resumei, svcsspnd
Purpose:
Suspends a task.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY svcsspnd(task); unsigned char task;Remarks:
The svcsspnd function suspends the task given by the task parameter and sets the suspended flag in the task's TCB state byte to 1. If the suspended task is on the dispatch queue, it is removed from the dispatch queue. After a task is suspended, it may be posted; however, this post does not take effect until that task is resumed. To resume a task (that is, to cancel its suspended state), use the svcrsume or resumei function.
This routine performs the same function as SVC 0x3D.
Returns:
Function value = 0x0000 = Normal completion; no errors. 0x0005 = Access denied 0x000C = Requested action already performed 0x0014 = Invalid task numberExample:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int error_code; unsigned char task_to_suspend; error_code = svcsspnd(task_to_suspend);Related Topics:
resumei, svcrsume
Purpose:
Starts a task.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY svcstart(task); unsigned char task;Remarks:
The svcstart function starts the task given by the task parameter by building a task control block from the information in the task header. The task had to be previously loaded from the system unit or built by the svcbuild function. The svcstart function causes the task to be entered at its initial entry point.
If the task is already started, no operation is performed.
This routine performs the same function as SVC 0x3A.
Returns:
Function value = 0x0000 = Normal completion; no errors 0x0005 = Access denied 0x000C = Task is already started 0x0013 = Invalid data 0x0014 = Invalid task numberExample:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int error_code; struct srbstruct newtaskmem; struct thstruct far *newtaskhd; /* Build and start task 3. */ /* Assume memory and task header */ /* are already set up. */ error_code = svcbuild(3,&newtaskmem;,newtaskhd); error_code = svcstart(3);Related Topics:
svcbuild
Purpose:
Stops a task.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY svcstop(task); unsigned char task;Remarks:
The svcstop function stops a task given by the task parameter and removes the task's TCB from TCBTAB. All resources except the storage in which the task resides are returned to the Realtime Control Microcode. If the task is already stopped, svcstop performs no operation. A stopped task may be restarted by the svcstart function or a start command from a system unit application. The svcstop function also puts the task in the loaded state. All child tasks of the specified task are unloaded.
This routine performs the same function as SVC 0x3B.
Returns:
Function value = 0x0000 = Normal completion; no errors 0x0005 = Access denied (call from an interrupt handler, or task is permanent) 0x000C = Task is already stopped 0x0014 = Invalid task numberExample:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int error_code; unsigned char task_to_stop; error_code = svcstop(task_to_stop);Related Topics:
svcstart
Purpose:
Starts a one-shot software timer.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY svctimer(timer,duration, handler); unsigned char timer; unsigned int duration; void (far *handler)(void);Remarks:
The svctimer function starts a software timer specified by the timer parameter. The duration parameter sets the timer length in multiples of 5 milliseconds; for example, a value of 1 represents 5 milliseconds and a value of 2 represents 10 milliseconds. Valid values of the duration parameter are in the range of 0x0001 through 0xFFFF. The handler parameter is a 32-bit address of the interrupt handler that responds to the software timer interrupt.
Software timers should be acquired with the svcalloc function before being used.
This routine performs the same function as SVC 0x44.
Returns:
Function value = 0x0000 = Normal completion; no errors 0x0005 = Access denied (call from an interrupt handler, or timer is not owned by task) 0x0013 = Invalid timer period 0x0015 = Invalid timer numberExample:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int error_code; void far soft_timer_handler() { /* Handler for software timer interrupt */ } /* Set timer 0 for 100 milliseconds with */ /* handler as "soft_timer_handler". */ error_code = svctimer(0,20,soft_timer_handler);Related Topics:
cantime, svcalloc, svccantm, svcprdic
Purpose:
Terminates a task but does not remove it from storage.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY svctres(void);Remarks:
The svctres function causes the calling task to be terminated, but to remain in co-processor adapter storage. After successful completion of the svctres function, the task may not be started, stopped, posted, suspended, resumed, waited, or unloaded. The task has no task control block. A parent or child task may not be terminated with this function. The requesting task must not own any user interrupt vectors. This function may be used for installing interrupt handlers. One example of this would be a Time-of-Day routine.
This routine performs the same function as SVC 0x41.
Returns:
If no error occurs, control does not return to the task after the call. The following error code is returned as the function return value in the case of an error:
Function value = 0x0000 = No errors 0x0005 = Access denied (no calls from an interrupt handler, or task is a parent or child, or task owns a user interrupt vector)Example:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int error_code; /* ... Code to initialize, acquire a CIO */ /* timer before terminating ... */ error_code = svctres(); /* ... only reach this point if */ /* an error occurred ... */Related Topics:
None
Purpose:
Unloads a task.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY svcunld(task); unsigned char task;Remarks:
The svcunld function unloads the task given by the task parameter, from co-processor adapter storage. If the task is not already stopped, it is stopped as described in the svcstop function. The task's resident storage is then returned to the free memory pool and the loaded bit in the task's primary status byte in the interface block is reset to 0. If any errors are detected, the command is not performed.
This routine performs the same function as SVC 0x38.
Returns:
Function value = 0x0000 = Normal completion; no errors 0x0005 = Access denied 0x0014 = Invalid task numberExample:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int error_code; unsigned char task_to_unload; error_code = svcunld(task_to_unload);Related Topics:
svcstop
Purpose:
Puts a task in the wait state.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY svcwait(clear); int clear;Remarks:
The svcwait function places the calling task in an idle or wait state. It is then ready for another task or one of its own interrupt handlers to request its services with the svcpost or posti functions. If the posted flag in the task's TCB is non-0, the wait request is a no-op; that is, control returns to the task without going to a wait state. If the clear parameter has a value of 1, the posted flag is cleared after the next post; if it has a value of 0, the posted flag is not cleared after the next post.
This routine performs the same function as SVC 0x3C.
Returns:
Function value = 0x0000 = Normal completion; no errors 0x0005 = Access deniedExample:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int error_code; unsigned int postcode; error_code = svcwait(1);/* Wait and clear Posted*/ /* Flag */ postcode = postcd_r(); /* Read the post code */Related Topics:
clr_pf, postcd_r, posti, svcpost
Purpose:
Returns the elapsed seconds since 01/01/70. This routine is available only in Realtime Control Microcode Version 2.01.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" time_t ICAENTRY time(timeptr) time_t *timeptr;Remarks:
timeptr = storage location for time
This routine is identical to the C ftime and time library routines, except that the time is read from the co-processor adapter rather than the system unit.
The return value is stored in the location given by timeptr. If timeptr is NULL, the return value is not stored.
Returns:
This routine does not return an error code.
timeptr = time unless timeptr is NULL. function value = timeExample:
#IncludeRelated Topics:time_t time (timeptr) time_t *timeptr; unsigned long ltime; time(<ime;); /* Get number of seconds since */ /* 01/01/1970. */ ctime(<ime;); /* Convert number of seconds to */ /* current time. */

Purpose:
Returns the number of unallocated pages and the total number of expanded memory pages. This routine is available only in Realtime Control Microcode Version 2.01, on a Realtime Interface Co-Processor Portmaster Adapter/A with expanded memory.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY unallocpgcnt (unallocpg, emmpg) unsigned int *unallocpg; unsigned int *emmpg;Remarks:
unallocpg = number of unallocated expanded memory pages emmpg = total number of expanded memory pagesReturns:
Function value = 0x0000 = No errors 0x0001 = Invalid entry parameter 0x0005 = Access deniedExample:
#Include "icadeclt.h" unsigned int unalloc_emmpages; unsigned int tot_emmpages; unsigned int rc; rc = unallocpgcnt(&unalloc;_emmpages, &tot;_emmpages);Related Topics:

Purpose:
Adds an element to a user queue.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY u_q_add(queue_no,elemaddr); unsigned char queue_no; char far *elemaddr;Remarks:
queue_no = Queue number elemaddr = Physical address of the new queue elementThe element may reside within the expanded memory page frame in Realtime Control Microcode Version 2.01.
The u_q_add function adds an element, referenced by the elemaddr parameter, to the end of the queue indicated by the queue_no parameter. The queue element is a structure of variable format. The only restriction is that the first field must be a far (32-bit) pointer to point to the next queue element. The user queue should be allocated with the svcalloc function before its use.
This routine performs the same function as SVI 0x6C.
Returns:
Function value = 0x0000 = Normal completion; no errors 0x0016 = Invalid queue number 0x0200 = No error, first entry in this queueExample:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int error_code; struct qrbstruct queue = {0,0,5,1,2,0}; /* Request block for queue 1 */ /* from task 2. */ struct qelem { struct qelem far *next; char data[100] = "Sample data"; } elem1; /* Acquire queue #1 for task 2. */ error_code = svcalloc((char *) &queue;); /* Add "elem1" to queue #1. */ error_code = u_q_add(1,(unsigned char far *)&elem1;);Related Topics:
svcalloc, u_q_rcv, u_q_rem, u_q_addp
Purpose:
Adds an element to a user queue. This routine is available only in Realtime Control Microcode Version 2.01.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY u_q_addp (queue_no, elemaddr) unsigned char queue_no; unsigned long elemaddr;Remarks:
queue_no = Queue number elemaddr = Physical address of the new queue elementThe u_q_addp function is identical to u_q_add SVI, except that it takes the 32-bit physical address of an element rather than an 80186 logical address.
For Realtime Control Microcode Version 2.01 only, if the physical address passed to this routine resides within unallocated expanded memory, it is queued, but an invalid data (0x13) warning code is be returned.
This routine does not enable interrupts.
Returns:
Function value = 0x0000 = No errors 0x0001 = Invalid entry parameter 0x0011 = Physical address mapped but unallocated (Realtime Control Microcode Version 2.01 only) 0x0012 = Address out of range 0x0013 = Invalid data (32-bit address exceeds physical memory amount) 0x0016 = Invalid queue number (queue is not allocated or queue number is out of range) 0x0200 = This is the first entry in this queueExample:
#Include "icadeclt.h" unsigned char queue_no; unsigned long elemaddr; u_q_addp (queue_no, elemaddr);Related Topics:
u_q_add, u_q_rcv, u_q_rem
Purpose:
Gets the address of the first element of a user queue.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY u_q_rcv(queue_no, qelem); unsigned char queue_no; unsigned char far **qelem;Remarks:
The u_q_rcv function gets a far (32-bit) pointer to the first queue element on the queue indicated by the queue_no parameter. The qelem parameter is used to pass back the address of the next queue element, which is not removed from the queue. With Realtime Control Microcode Version 2.01, if the first element is above base memory, u_q_rcv returns a warning error and the 32-bit physical address of the queue element. The task may then use the map_physpg SVI to map the queue element into the expanded memory page frame.
This routine performs the same function as SVI 0x6A.
Returns:
Function value = 0x0000 = Normal completion; no errors 0x0012 = Queue element is above base memory 0x0016 = Invalid queue number (queue number is not allocated or queue number is out of range) 0x0100 = Queue is emptyExample:

Purpose:
Removes the top element of a user queue.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY u_q_rem(queue_no,qelem); unsigned char queue_no; unsigned char far **qelem;Remarks:
The u_q_rem function removes the head of the queue indicated by the queue_no parameter. The address of the queue element is returned by the qelem parameter. With Realtime Control Microcode Version 2.01, if the first element is above base memory, u_q_rcv returns a warning error and the 32-bit physical address of the queue element. The task may then use the map_physpg SVI to map the queue element into the expanded memory page frame.
This routine performs the same function as SVI 0x6E.
Returns:
Function value = 0x0000 = Normal completion; no errors 0x0012 = Queue element is above base memory 0x0016 = Invalid queue number 0x0100 = Queue is empty 0x0200 = No error, this was the last element in the queue 0x0212 = Last entry and queue element is above base memoryExample:

Purpose:
Writes a value to the specified CIO port data register.
Format:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY writecio(port,select,value); unsigned char port; unsigned char select; unsigned char value;Remarks:
The writecio function writes to the data register of a CIO port. No check is made to ensure that the requestor is the owner of the port. No checks are made to ensure that a write is requested for an output bit. Data polarity resolution is the responsibility of the requestor. This routine should only be used for CIO ports, communication ports or SCC/CIO packages.
The port parameter indicates which CIO data register to write:
0 = CIO 0, Port A 12 = CIO 4, Port B 1 = CIO 0, Port B 13 = CIO 4, Port C 2 = CIO 1, Port A 14 = CIO 5, Port A 3 = CIO 1, Port B 15 = CIO 5, Port B 4 = CIO 1, Port C 16 = CIO 5, Port C 5 = CIO 2, Port A 17 = CIO 6, Port A 6 = CIO 2, Port B 18 = CIO 6, Port B 7 = CIO 2, Port C 19 = CIO 6, Port C 8 = CIO 3, Port A 20 = CIO 7, Port A 9 = CIO 3, Port B 21 = CIO 7, Port B 10 = CIO 3, Port C 22 = CIO 7, Port C 11 = CIO 4, Port AThe writecio function should be used when the CIO is allocated as a resource. It is normally used to interface with a special purpose electrical interface board; in this case, the bit definitions for the select and value parameters depend on the particular EIB. Although the CIO port data registers are often used in conjunction with an SCC for modem control, this function should not be used for setting modem controls.
This routine performs the write function of the Read/Write CIO bits SVI.
Returns:
Function value = 0x0000 = Normal completion; no error 0x0005 = Access denied 0x0018 = Invalid port numberExample:
#Include "icadeclt.h" int error_code; error_code = writecio (3, 0x000F, 0x0000); /* Writes CIO port 3 lower nibble only */ /* all 0's. */Related Topics:

Purpose:
Enables and disables the transmit function of a port.
Format:
#include "icadeclt.h" int ICAENTRY xmitcntl(port,request); unsigned char port; unsigned char request;Remarks:
The xmitcntl function enables or disables the transmit function of the specified port. This routine should be used only for SCC/CIO packages, RS-232 ports, or RS-422 ports. It is the responsibility of the application to verify that the installed electrical interface board is appropriate for the service requested.
This routine does not enable interrupts.
The format of the request parameter is as follows:
0x0000 = Disable 0x0001 = EnableThis routine performs the same function as the Transmit Control SVI.
Returns:
Function value = 0x0000 = Normal completion; no errors 0x0005 = Access denied (transmit control not supported on port) 0x0018 = Invalid port numberExample:
#include "icadeclt.h" int error_code; error_code = xmitcntl (2, 0x0001); /* Request enable of port 2 */ /* transmit function. */Related Topics:

The Realtime Interface Co-Processor C Language Support product provides two sample programs that can be used as a learning tool and as a means of verifying the Realtime Interface Co-Processor C Language Support software.
Sample program 1 is a demonstration program, in which the sample files consist of icacdemo.c, a C task that sends data to the system unit, and icacdisp.exe, a system unit program that displays the task's data.
Once the Realtime Interface Co-Processor C Language Support files have been installed, enter the appropriate pair of commands to compile and link the sample C task:
Microsoft C 6.0 Optimizing Compiler: cl /AM /G1 /Zp icacdemo.c /c link icaheadc+icacdemo/NOD /NOE,icacdemo,,icams60m+icatskm+mlibca; IBM C/2 1.1 Compiler: cc /AM /G1 /Zp icacdemo; link icaheadc+icacdemo/NOD /NOE,icacdemo,,icac2m+icatskm+mlibcar;The same compile and link options are used for C 7.0 and C 8.0 Microsoft C\C++.
These two commands generate the executable task module,
icacdemo.exe. Enter the following command to execute
the sample task, substituting the desired hexadecimal values for Sample program 2
shows how to build peer tasks.
This example is contained in the files childxmp.c, childc.c, childsub.asm,
childlib.asm, and childemo.exe.
The first file, childxmp.c, contains the main body of
the task source. The file childc.c contains two subroutines--BuildChild()
and BuildPeer()--that build other tasks; they may be used
and modified in user source. The file childsub.asm contains routines
that should be copied for each task that is to be built; a unique copy
of each of the three routines is needed for each child/peer task. The file
childlib.asm contains subroutines for getting the size of the data area,
calculating the correct stack pointer value, and copying the building
task's data into the built task's data area; these routines are used by
BuildChild() and BuildPeer().
The file childemo.exe contains the system unit program.
The example may be compiled and linked with the following commands:
The resultant file (childxmp.exe) builds a peer task with
a task number one greater than its own and waits for a post from
the built task. When the post is received, it stores the string
"Peer built, post received" in its input buffer.
In the example, a second copy of the building task's data area was
created. The code area was shared by the building task and the built
task. This feature is useful for tasks that run the same code but require
separate data areas.
To run the example, enter the following commands:

The demonstration programs should then display the Realtime Control Microcode version number,
the co-processor adapter memory size, and the interface board
IDs on the screen. The following is an example of this display:
Realtime Interface Co-Processor C Language Support
Sample Program
Realtime Control Microcode version = 1.51
Co-processor adapter memory size = 256K
Interface board 0 ID = C2
Interface board 1 ID = C2
If no interface board is installed, the ID byte
has a value of 0xFF.
