smNetLib - VxWorks interface to shared memory network (backplane) driver
This library implements the VxWorks-specific portions of the shared memory network interface driver. It provides the interface between VxWorks and the network driver modules (e.g., how the OS initializes and attaches the driver, interrupt handling, etc.), as well as VxWorks-dependent system calls.
There are no user-callable routines.
The backplane master initializes the backplane shared memory and network structures by first calling smNetInit( ). Once the backplane has been initialized, all processors can be attached to the shared memory network via the smNetAttach( ) routine. Both smNetInit( ) and smNetAttach( ) are called automatically during system initialization when backplane parameters are specified in the boot line.
