<concept id="GUID-A70A01D2-467E-5BA8-A01D-6182558F3F52" xml:lang="en"><title>Boot

Time Initialisation Implementation</title><shortdesc>How to write an initialisation function, implemented by the Media

driver and called by the kernel at boot time. </shortdesc><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>

<p>You use the <xref href="GUID-7964FC46-4641-3BDD-92C9-50FA22C3321A.dita"><apiname>DECLARE_STANDARD_EXTENSION()</apiname></xref> macro as a

wrapper around the code that does this. There are at two important things

to do at this stage: </p>

<ul>

<li id="GUID-21EA5C7E-7147-596E-A340-1D6FED0328CE"><p>attach a DFC queue,

if the underlying media driver supports asynchronous creation </p> </li>

<li id="GUID-4E9CD255-B954-5B75-B639-2AC494296AA4"><p>register the media driver

with the local media system. </p> </li>

</ul>

<section id="GUID-43EB0EC7-AAA3-5FFC-8724-E938F6BFB158"><title>Asynchronous

creation of the media driver</title> <p>If the underlying media driver supports

asynchronous creation, then a DFC queue <i>must</i> be attached at this stage.

However, media drivers that interface to the Peripheral Bus Controller should

create a new <xref href="GUID-B4E66372-2654-3434-AFB7-844B0B8D2FC9.dita"><apiname>DPBusPrimaryMedia</apiname></xref> object, as shown in the

code above, but should not allocate a DFC for asynchronous creation; this

is handled by the Peripheral Bus Controller. </p> <p>See also <xref href="GUID-A6D14A03-ADBF-570D-8AC7-E8BC2700F930.dita#GUID-A6D14A03-ADBF-570D-8AC7-E8BC2700F930/GUID-32B157E9-0F71-5C1B-A0FA-08D5B1ACA700">Create() - create the media driver object</xref>. </p> </section>

<section id="GUID-4A8DEEAB-32C4-5431-8226-5623E2BD9098"><title>Register the

media driver with the local media system</title> <p>The media driver must

be registered with the Local Media Subsystem; this provides information such

as the number of supported drives, partitions, names and drive numbers. This

is done by calling <xref href="GUID-9E60E8D9-619E-3A76-BAC8-93A60D62C7DF.dita#GUID-9E60E8D9-619E-3A76-BAC8-93A60D62C7DF/GUID-647D0858-FE04-3A4F-99CE-81CD0B34CE7B"><apiname>LocDrv::RegisterMediaDevice()</apiname></xref>, and passing

appropriate values. </p> <p>The media device type can be any of the <xref href="GUID-0FE5A5FE-5D38-3620-8674-2B770CB9D049.dita"><apiname>TMediaDevice</apiname></xref> enumerated

values provide that a given value is only used once. This value may sometimes

be referred to as the media ID. </p> <p>The values passed to this function

are highly dependent on the target hardware platform, and it is common practice

to define them in a file contained within the Variant directory, instead of

hard-coding them into generic Symbian platform code. For example, Variant

A may provide two PC Card slots, while Variant B may provide 4. </p> <p>The

port for the template reference board has the header file <filepath>...\template_variant\inc\variantmediadef.h</filepath>,

which defines constants that are used when registering a media driver for

that specific hardware. </p> <p>Your code may find it convenient to use the

struct <xref href="GUID-FC0F974E-9ABB-348B-9AE9-778B3A1F413A.dita"><apiname>SMediaDeviceInfo</apiname></xref> to capture this information. </p> </section>

<example><p>The following code is used: </p> <codeblock id="GUID-2A3ADFBB-C2D4-51DD-AE3E-21C5C34554D9" xml:space="preserve">DECLARE_STANDARD_EXTENSION()

    {

    TInt r=KErrNoMemory;

    DPrimaryMediaBase* pM=new DPrimaryMediaBase;

    if (pM)

        {

        //…Required here for Asynchronous creation (if supported)

        pM->iDfcQ = &MyDfcQ;

        //…Perform registration here

        r = LocDrv::RegisterMediaDevice(MEDIA_DEVICE_TYPE,

                                        MEDIA_DRIVECOUNT,

                                        &IMediaDriveNumbers[0],

                                        pM,MEDIA_NUMMEDIA,KMediaDriveName

                                       );

        }

    return(r);

    }

      </codeblock> <p>You can also do any further initialisation that is appropriate

to your driver. </p></example>
