◆ SERIAL_IO_INTERFACE

Backward-compatible with EFI1.1.

Definition at line 37 of file SerialIo.h.

◆ EFI_SERIAL_RESET

typedef EFI_STATUS(EFIAPI * EFI_SERIAL_RESET) (IN EFI_SERIAL_IO_PROTOCOL *This)

Reset the serial device.

Parameters
ThisProtocol instance pointer.
Return values
EFI_SUCCESSThe device was reset.
EFI_DEVICE_ERRORThe serial device could not be reset.

Definition at line 103 of file SerialIo.h.

◆ EFI_SERIAL_SET_ATTRIBUTES

typedef EFI_STATUS(EFIAPI * EFI_SERIAL_SET_ATTRIBUTES) (IN EFI_SERIAL_IO_PROTOCOL *This, IN UINT64 BaudRate, IN UINT32 ReceiveFifoDepth, IN UINT32 Timeout, IN EFI_PARITY_TYPE Parity, IN UINT8 DataBits, IN EFI_STOP_BITS_TYPE StopBits)

Sets the baud rate, receive FIFO depth, transmit/receice time out, parity, data bits, and stop bits on a serial device.

Parameters
ThisProtocol instance pointer.
BaudRateThe requested baud rate. A BaudRate value of 0 will use the device's default interface speed.
ReveiveFifoDepthThe requested depth of the FIFO on the receive side of the serial interface. A ReceiveFifoDepth value of 0 will use the device's default FIFO depth.
TimeoutThe requested time out for a single character in microseconds. This timeout applies to both the transmit and receive side of the interface. A Timeout value of 0 will use the device's default time out value.
ParityThe type of parity to use on this serial device. A Parity value of DefaultParity will use the device's default parity value.
DataBitsThe number of data bits to use on the serial device. A DataBits vaule of 0 will use the device's default data bit setting.
StopBitsThe number of stop bits to use on this serial device. A StopBits value of DefaultStopBits will use the device's default number of stop bits.
Return values
EFI_SUCCESSThe device was reset.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETEROne or more attributes has an unsupported value.
EFI_DEVICE_ERRORThe serial device is not functioning correctly.
