SERCX2_CUSTOM_RECEIVE_CONFIG structure (sercx.h)
The SERCX2_CUSTOM_RECEIVE_CONFIG structure contains information that version 2 of the serial framework extension (SerCx2) uses to configure a new custom-receive object.
Syntax
typedef struct _SERCX2_CUSTOM_RECEIVE_CONFIG {
ULONG Size;
ULONG Alignment;
ULONG MinimumTransactionLength;
ULONG MaximumTransactionLength;
ULONG MinimumTransferUnit;
BOOLEAN Exclusive;
} SERCX2_CUSTOM_RECEIVE_CONFIG, *PSERCX2_CUSTOM_RECEIVE_CONFIG;
Members
Size
The size, in bytes, of this structure. The SerCx2CustomReceiveCreate method uses this member to determine which version of the structure the caller is using. The size of this structure might change in future versions of the Sercx.h header file.
Alignment
Data alignment requirement. Specifies how the starting address of a transfer in a custom-receive transaction must be aligned in memory. Set this member to the appropriate FILE_XXX_ALIGNMENT constant in the Wdm.h header file. For example, FILE_WORD_ALIGNMENT indicates that the starting address must be aligned to two-byte boundary in memory, FILE_LONG_ALIGNMENT indicates that the address must be aligned to a four-byte boundary, and so on.
MinimumTransactionLength
The minimum length, in bytes, of a data transfer in a custom-receive transaction. If the length of the buffer in a read (IRP_MJ_READ) request is less than this minimum length, SerCx2 uses programmed I/O (PIO) for the transaction.
MaximumTransactionLength
The maximum length, in bytes, of a data transfer in a custom-receive transaction. If the size of the buffer in the read request is larger than this maximum length, SerCx2 uses multiple custom-receive transactions to handle the request, and limits each transaction to the maximum length.
MinimumTransferUnit
The minimum transfer unit. The number of bytes specified by an element in a scatter/gather list must be an integer multiple of the minimum transfer unit. To indicate that the default minimum transfer unit should be used, set this member to zero. For more information about the default minimum transfer unit, see DMA_ADAPTER_INFO_V1.
Exclusive
Whether to use custom-receive transactions exclusively to handle write (IRP_MJ_READ) requests. Set to TRUE to indicate that read requests should use custom-receive transactions exclusively. Set to FALSE to indicate that read requests can use a combination of custom-receive transactions and PIO-receive transactions.
Set this member to TRUE only if the minimum transfer unit for custom-receive transactions is one byte, the minimum transaction length is one byte, and the read buffer for the transaction can start on any byte boundary in memory.
If Exclusive is TRUE, the MinimumTransferUnitOverride, Alignment, and MinimumTransactionLength members must be zero.
Regardless of the value of this member, PIO-receive transactions are used to save any unread data in the receive FIFO before the serial controller exits the D0 device power state to enter a low-power state.
Remarks
The SerCx2CustomReceiveCreate method accepts a pointer to a SERCX2_CUSTOM_RECEIVE_CONFIG structure as an input parameter. Before calling SerCx2CustomReceiveCreate, call the SERCX2_CUSTOM_RECEIVE_CONFIG_INIT function to initialize this structure.
