-</ul> <p>This document refers to the reference implementation of the PRM PSL
-for the H4 HRP platform wherever possible. The source code for the reference
-implementation can be found in <filepath>\omap_hrp\h4\resman</filepath>. The
-MMC and Sound_SC (in H4 HRP) device drivers are modified to use the new PRM
-framework. </p> <p><b>Introduction</b> </p> <p>The PRM provides a unique place
-where all the current power states for resources can be obtained at any time.
-The sum of all internal and external power states defines the current system-wide
-power state. </p> <p id="GUID-0F328055-DBCE-5B2B-A1EB-77F73BA1FC82"><b>Setup
-and configuration requirements</b> </p> <p>The PRM component is implemented
-as a kernel extension with an exported public interface that is accessible
-to kernel side components through statically linking against its export library.
-The export library is built from the resource manager and the resource manager
-libraries. </p> <p>There are two versions available: </p> <ul>
-<li id="GUID-982137EB-A7C2-5420-8279-477AC52D5350"><p>basic resource manager
-- provides essential or required functionality for static resources. </p> <p>The
-basic version of the PIL layer is compiled into <filepath>resmanpsl.lib</filepath>.
-This kernel library must be included by the PSL to produce the kernel extension. </p> </li>
-<li id="GUID-0F8863B3-044C-5B5A-831D-DB20B72459C8"><p>extended resource manager
-- provides additional support for dynamic resources and resource dependencies. </p> <p>The
-extended version of the PIL layer is complied into <filepath>resmanextenedpsl.lib</filepath>.
-This kernel library must be included by the PSL to produce the kernel extension. </p> </li>
-</ul> <p>Device drivers that require the use of the PRM should link against
-the appropriate library. <filepath>resman.lib</filepath> to use the basic
-version and <filepath>resmanextended.lib</filepath> to use the extended version
-of the PRM. </p> <p><b>Building the PRM for the target platform</b> </p> <p>The
-PRM is an early extension, so the <xref href="GUID-9535CF67-7541-554E-BE5C-9FDDFDB58EA5.dita">targettype</xref> in
-the <keyword>mmp</keyword> file must be set to <codeph>kext</codeph>. If the
-PRM is implemented as a PDD the <codeph>targettype</codeph> in the mmp file
-should be should be <codeph>pdd</codeph>. </p> <p><b>Boot sequence</b> </p> <p>The
-PRM cannot be used to operate on power resources until later in the boot sequence
-when the kernel allows the scheduling of other threads. During this time it
-is not possible to read or change the state of resources, but <xref href="GUID-46F2174F-0206-345B-8C5D-F8B5763652E0.dita#GUID-46F2174F-0206-345B-8C5D-F8B5763652E0/GUID-9D07A9C1-C0AE-36E9-8438-3BF71D3CBB0C"><apiname>DPowerResourceController::PostBootLevel()</apiname></xref> can
-be used to specify the state of specific resources and the PRM can change
-the state of resources to appropriate levels before the PRM is fully initialised. </p> <p> <codeph>PostBootLevel()</codeph> is
-used within the extension entry point, during this time PRM is not fully initialised. <b>Note</b>:
-This function can only be used for static resources and static resources with
-dependencies. </p> <codeblock id="GUID-F8E2125A-0DA8-5991-8FED-BF6DA48EC79D" xml:space="preserve">static TInt PostBootLevel(TUint aResId, TInt aLevel);</codeblock> <p> <codeph>PostBootLevel()</codeph> takes the resource ID and the post boot
-level that the level a resource needs to be after it is initialised. Typically
-the post boot level is only known to the PSL. However kernel extensions (and
-the variant) may request a post boot level. </p> <p>If a kernel extension
-needs to know if certain resources have reached the post boot state in order
-to complete its own initialisation then the kernel extension should queue
-resource state change notifications for the resource when first registering
-as clients with the PRM. <b>Note</b>: notification requests are accepted before
-the PRM is fully initialised. </p> <p>Variants or kernel extensions can register
-static resources before the PRM is fully initialised with <xref href="GUID-46F2174F-0206-345B-8C5D-F8B5763652E0.dita#GUID-46F2174F-0206-345B-8C5D-F8B5763652E0/GUID-6F74C10F-5055-37D2-968D-FCAB7D0F8FDF"><apiname>DPowerResourceController::RegisterStaticResource()</apiname></xref>.
