VideoPortGetDeviceBase function (video.h)

The VideoPortGetDeviceBase function maps a range of bus-relative device memory or I/O addresses into system space.

Syntax

VIDEOPORT_DEPRECATED VIDEOPORT_API PVOID VideoPortGetDeviceBase(
  PVOID            HwDeviceExtension,
  PHYSICAL_ADDRESS IoAddress,
  ULONG            NumberOfUchars,
  UCHAR            InIoSpace
);

Parameters

HwDeviceExtension

Pointer to the miniport driver's device extension.

IoAddress

The base physical address of the range to map. You get this bus-relative value by calling VideoPortGetDeviceData, VideoPortGetRegistryParameters, or VideoPortGetAccessRanges. Otherwise, this value is a driver-supplied, default base address for the device memory or I/O ports.

You must have successfully claimed the range described by IoAddress and NumberOfUchars in the registry through a preceding call to VideoPortVerifyAccessRanges or VideoPortGetAccessRanges.

NumberOfUchars

The number of bytes, starting at IoAddress, to map.

InIoSpace

The location of the IoAddress range. This parameter can be one of the following flags or an ORed, compatible combination of these flags.

Flag	Meaning
VIDEO_MEMORY_SPACE_DENSE	Obsolete.
VIDEO_MEMORY_SPACE_IO	The address range is in I/O space, not in memory space.
VIDEO_MEMORY_SPACE_MEMORY	The address range is in memory space, not in I/O space.
VIDEO_MEMORY_SPACE_P6CACHE	The processor aggregates a sequence of write operations, sends them to a cache line, and later flushes the cache. This flag is meaningful only when VIDEO_MEMORY_SPACE_IO is not set. Designates the video memory as write-combined (WC). For information about WC caching, see the Write-Combining Memory in Video Miniport Drivers website article.

Return value

If successful, VideoPortGetDeviceBase returns the base virtual address of the mapping. If the specified bus-relative range cannot be mapped, VideoPortGetDeviceBase returns NULL.

Remarks

You can pass the mapped virtual addresses to the VideoPortReadXxx, VideoPortWriteXxx, and VideoPortXxxMemory functions, except for VideoPortMapMemory and VideoPortUnmapMemory.

You must call VideoPortGetDeviceBase from the miniport driver's HwVidFindAdapter, HwVidQueryDeviceCallback, or HwVidQueryNamedValueCallback function.

Before HwVidFindAdapter returns control, you should store both the mapped base address returned by VideoPortGetDeviceBase and the length of the mapped access range in the adapter's device extension (pointed to by HwDeviceExtension) for later use.

Access to the mapped address space must follow these rules:

• If InIoSpace is VIDEO_MEMORY_SPACE_IO, which indicates that the address is in I/O space, the virtual address that this function returns should be passed to the VideoPortReadPortXxx, VideoPortWritePortXxx, VideoPortReadPortBufferXxx, and VideoPortWritePortBufferXxx functions, where Xxx is Uchar, Ushort, or Ulong.
• If InIoSpace is VIDEO_MEMORY_SPACE_MEMORY, which indicates that the address is not in I/O space but in memory space, the virtual address that this function returns should be passed to the VideoPortReadRegisterXxx, VideoPortWriteRegisterXxx, VideoPortReadRegisterBufferXxx, and VideoPortWriteRegisterBufferXxx functions, where Xxx is Uchar, Ushort, or Ulong.
• The driver must not access addresses that are outside the range delimited by NumberOfUchars.

VideoPortGetDeviceBase and VideoPortMapMemory can both be called by the video miniport driver to map video memory into a virtual address space. If you call both of these functions to map the same physical addresses, or if you call one of the functions more than once to map the same physical addresses, you might have more than one virtual-address range that maps to the same physical-address range. In that case, you must set the VIDEO_MEMORY_SPACE_P6CACHE flag of the InIoSpace parameter to the same value in all of those calls.

Every universal memory architecture (UMA) display device uses a frame buffer that is located in main memory rather than on a PCI bus. In this case, do not call VideoPortMapMemory to map the frame buffer. To map a UMA frame buffer into system space, call MmMapIoSpace.

If a miniport driver does not support an adapter that it has mapped a logical range for, it must perform two steps before it returns control to the DriverEntry function: call VideoPortFreeDeviceBase to unmap the previously mapped range from system space, and call VideoPortGetAccessRanges or VideoPortVerifyAccessRanges to release its claims on the range in the registry.
