|
+ This document describes the interfaces available for device drivers that
|
|
|
|
+ drive s390 based channel attached devices. This includes interfaces for
|
|
|
|
+ interaction with the hardware and interfaces for interacting with the
|
|
|
|
+ common driver core. Those interfaces are provided by the s390 common I/O
|

|
|
|
|

|
|
|

|
|
|
+ <para>
|
|
|
|
+ The ccw bus typically contains the majority of devices available to
|
|
|
|
+ a s390 system. Named after the channel command word (ccw), the basic
|
|
|
|
+ command structure used to address its devices, the ccw bus contains
|
|
|
|
+ so-called channel attached devices. They are addressed via subchannels,
|
|
|
|
+ visible on the css bus. A device driver, however, will never interact
|
|
|
|
+ with the subchannel directly, but only via the device on the ccw bus,
|
|
|
|
+ the ccw device.

|

|
|
|
|
+ or strange side effects may happen.
