Latest revision as of 17:20, 17 December 2022

Radio/TV driver for BT878 based cards. The LXAPI32.SYS is a common Linux services driver. It provides functions for PCI, I2C, memory, resources with Linux function calls.

DEVICE=\...\LXAPI32.SYS

Parameters

Product Support
OS/2 1.3
OS/2 2.0
OS/2 2.1
OS/2 2.11 SMP
OS/2 Warp 3	C
OS/2 Warp Connect	C
OS/2 Warp 4	C
OS/2 Warp Server for e-Business	C

/NOPCINAMEDEVICE: necessary if a trap on boot occurs
/V: Verbose: Show Copyright information
/VM: Verbose modules: Like /V plus module list
/3: Execute an INT3 at initialisation (Use kernel debugger!)
/NOMODULE: Don't load modules at system startup (Use BT32CFG.EXE to load/unload)
/NOCOREMODULE: Don't load core modules at system startup (Use BT32CFG.EXE to load/unload)
/MODPARM: Support Linux insmod parameters for various modules
/LOADMODULE: Load module (only with parameter /NOCOREMODULE)
/NOPCINAMEDEVICE: Don't load and parse PCI.IDS file to prevent a system trap with driver SEC32.SYS (32-bit Security Driver of AVP/2)

NOTE: This driver is the base Linux API layer driver for ported drivers. It must reside before all other drivers that attaches to LXAPI32. Currently there is only BT32.SYS available.

NOTE: LXAPI32.SYS contains the following modules:

timer
pci_core
i2c_core
videodev

NOTE: Module parameters:

timer
pci_core dopcifixups=n disable/enable corresponding
dopcienable=n pci functions in pci_core
dopcisetmaster=n n is 0 or 1
dopcisetpowerstate=n
dopciupdateresource=n
dopciresourcesurvey=n
i2c_core
videodev

All dopci* parameters defaults to 0 because they aren't really needed in OS/2 and caused some problems.

Here is an example for using the /MODPARM parameter: /MODPARM:pci_core:dopcifixups=1;dopcienable=1 This will enable dopcifixups and dopcienable.
