Writing PCMCIA Software


JUN94: Writing PCMCIA Software

Programming for portable systems

Troy runs Entertainment Software Partners and can be reached via the Internet at [email protected].


The Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA) 1.0 specification defined a standard for adding 68-pin memory cards to a computer system. PCMCIA 2.0 added support for I/O devices such as modems, pagers, LAN cards, and hard disks. Unlike their ISA and MCA cousins, system- and CPU-independent PCMCIA cards don't have jumpers or dip switches. Instead, they're configured via software and can be inserted and extracted with the system powered.

Nearly all portable DOS machines now include PCMCIA slots. Additionally, both the IBM DOS and OS/2 operating systems include PCMCIA support (and it's rumored that forthcoming versions of Microsoft MS-DOS and Windows will, too). This article examines what's involved in writing PCMCIA software for DOS-based systems.

PCMCIA Hardware Architecture

The first layer of PCMCIA hardware is the socket, a receptacle for a PCMCIA card. There's no limit to the number of sockets a system can have, although one, two, and four are the most common. Two or more sockets are usually joined to an adapter, which is hooked into the system bus. Unlike hard disks or modems, there are no standard I/O addresses used by adapters. Nor are there any standard mappings for the registers on the adapters. All of this is left to the system designer. The adapter allows the card's memory and I/O resources to be mapped into the system under software control. For example, a modem card can be made to appear at any available COM port by executing the appropriate code. PCMCIA cards are about the size of a credit card. Type I cards are the thinnest and are mainly used for memory cards. Type IIs are thicker and used mostly for modems and LANs. Type IIIs are the thickest and are used by rotating hard drives.

PCMCIA cards have both common and attribute on-board memory. Common memory stores data and is usually present only in memory cards. Attribute memory, present on all 2.0-compliant cards, is where information about the card is kept. The card information structure (CIS), beginning at address 0 in attribute memory, consists of a linked list of data blocks called "tuples" which hold information about the type of card and the information the software needs to configure it.

PCMCIA Software Architecture

PCMCIA software consists of socket and card services. Socket services, the lowest layer (similar to BIOS), is written specifically to support a single type of PCMCIA adapter. It is intended to be small and needs minimal RAM, allowing it to be ROMable. Card services, on the other hand, is more like DOS. It never deals directly with the hardware, using socket services, instead. Card services is the API most important to programmers. While it is possible to bypass card services and go directly to socket services, doing so could be dangerous. Card and socket services are tightly synchronized. If this synchronization is lost, a system crash or hardware damage can result. If you make direct calls to socket services, you'd better know what you're doing.

Card Services API

There are 54 card-services functions, divided into five types: client services, resource management, bulk memory, client utilities, and advanced client services. Client-service functions get information from card services. Resource-management functions allocate and free system resources. (This is how PCMCIA card resources are made visible to the rest of the system.) Bulk-memory services are for accessing common memory, and client utilities parse tuple information. Advanced client-service functions get even lower level information from card services.

All of the functions are called with a similar argument. In C, a card-services call has the form: results=CardServices(function, handle, pointer, arglength, argpointer); in which function is a byte that indicates the card-services function number, handle is a word used to send or receive a client handle, and pointer is a far pointer to code or data (for most functions, pointer is NULL). arglength holds the size of the buffer that argpointer points to. argpointer is a far pointer to an argument packet which sends/receives information from card services. If a card-services call is successful, results will be 0; otherwise it holds an error number. Some functions return additional error information in the argument packet.

Since a bad PCMCIA program can damage the hardware, card services does a lot of checking on parameters passed to it. If any of the values are determined to be bad, the function call will fail before any action is taken. It is critical to always check the values card services returns because, unlike normal DOS programming, PCMCIA is dynamic. Hardware can be added and removed from the system at any time. You should never make assumptions about the state of the system.

The Cardinfo Program

The Cardinfo program presented in Listing One (page 152) returns information about cards plugged into the first or second socket of the system. It is written mostly in C, although two functions are written in inline assembly. I've tested Cardinfo on Toshiba, IBM, AST, and Compuadd notebooks, using both Phoenix and SystemSoft PCMCIA software.

The most important function in this program is CardServices, which encapsulates the call to card services with a C-callable function. Under DOS, card services is called via interrupt 0x1A, function 0xAF. The value in AL holds the number of the desired card-services function. Other registers hold the other arguments. Putting this call into a C function and its argument packet in a structure is easier to manage than manipulating bytes in assembly.

GET_CARDSERVICES_INFO is the first call every PCMCIA program should make, since nothing will work without card services. If card services is installed, the return value will be SUCCESS (or 0) and the signature word of the argument packet will be set to CS. Both values must be checked, since other functions use interrupt 0x1A, and any of those can accidentally zero the AX register which holds the return value.

Besides confirming card-services installation, GET_CARDSERVICES_INFO returns the number of PCMCIA sockets, the vendor revision number, and the version of card services. All this information is displayed before the program enters its main loop. In the 2.0 version of card services, sockets were numbered beginning with 1. In version 2.01 and later, socket numbering begins with 0. Cardinfo always begins its numbering with 1. It determines what the base socket is by checking the PCMCIA version.

Since PCMCIA is a dynamic environment, card services provides a callback mechanism for notifying you of card events as they occur. To use the callback, a call is made to REGISTER_CLIENT. The argument packet first contains the attribute which tells card services what kind of client your program is. This allows card services to set your priority level, since there may be more than one client in the system. Priority is given first to I/O clients, then to memory-technology drivers, and finally to memory clients. The Cardinfo program case assumes a memory client which will get notification after all other clients. The next piece of information is the event mask, which tells card services what kind of events you are interested in. We are only interested in detecting changed events, indicated by setting bit 7. The last piece of information is the version of card services the program was written to be compliant with. Since it's compliant with both version 2.0 and 2.01, the program returns the version number it gave us to card services.

If the request for a callback is granted, card services returns with SUCCESS, and ClientHandle will hold the client handle, which is used later to free the callback. Callbacks are a limited system resource, so not all requests will be granted. Be sure to check the value that is returned.

If the callback request is granted, the program enters the information-display loop. The first pass through the loop will force an update by initially setting fCardEvent to True. Afterwards, fCardEvent will be True only after an event occurs.

Card services makes getting informa-tion from a card simple. A call to GET_STATUS will return the state of a socket. If a card is in the socket, the CARD_DETECT_FLAG of the CardState word will be set. The version 1.0 information tuple (CISTPL_VERS_1) contains the manufacturer and product-name strings. The GET_FIRST_TUPLE and GET_TUPLE_DATA card services calls returns these strings in the GetLevel1Info function. The strings themselves will be in a buffer with NULLs separating them and a double NULL marking the end of the buffer.

A call to GetDeviceType is made to determine the type of card. It makes calls to GET_FIRST_TUPLE and GET_TUPLE_DATA also, except the desired tuple is CISTPL_DEVICE. Only memory types are defined. If it is an I/O card, the device type will be DTYPE_NULL or DTYPE_FUNCSPEC. Memory devices also return their size in bytes. If the memory type is DTYPE_SRAM, the state of the device's battery is contained in wState.

The information-display loop continues to wait for card events until the user presses a key. At that point, the callback is free, and the program returns to DOS. If the callback isn't free, card services will call it after the next card event and crash the system.

Conclusion

There are many ways to enhance Cardinfo. For instance, you could have it tell the user what kind of I/O card is being used by comparing the I/O addresses used by the card with those of known PC devices.

Finally, keep in mind that the PCMCIA specification is an open standard. If you'd like more information on it, contact the Personal Computer Memory Card International Association, 1030G E. Duane Ave., Sunnyvale, CA 94086 (408-720-0107).
