Each byte serves as a boolean selection +indicator for a respective Counter component or extension. The format of +this area is as follows: + +* For each device extension, a byte is required. +* For each Signal, a byte is reserved for the Signal component, and a + byte is reserved for each Signal extension. +* For each Count, a byte is reserved for the Count component, a byte is + reserved for the count function, a byte is reserved for each Synapse + action, and byte is reserved for each Count extension. + +The selected Counter components and extensions may then be interfaced +after the first 196095 bytes via standard character device read/write +operations. The number of bytes available for each component or +extension is dependent on their respective data type: u8 will have 1 +byte available, u64 will have 8 bytes available, strings will have 64 +bytes available, etc. -- 2.26.2 _______________________________________________ linux-arm-kernel mailing list linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel
