Access PCMCIA Attribute Memory by Using a PCMCIA_INTERFACE_STANDARD Interface

  • Article

This section describes how a driver can use a PCMCIA_INTERFACE_STANDARD interface to access attribute memory.

The PCMCIA interface standard is provided primarily for memory card drivers and file systems.

A driver can use the PCMCIA_MODIFY_MEMORY_WINDOW interface routine supported by the PCMCIA_INTERFACE_STANDARD interface. PCMCIA_MODIFY_MEMORY_WINDOW sets the attributes of a memory window for a PCMCIA memory card. The memory window is mapped by the PCMCIA bus driver. Note that this routine does not provide a permanent window, it only modifies the current settings for an existing window. In addition, settings are not persistent over a change in the system power state.
