Xena Resource Information
Includes	resources/xena.h
AutoDocs	xenares.doc

There are four separate resources that may be requested. The application must secure as many as it requires to access the Xena system. XR_XTAGPORT is for access to the JTAG control lines that access the Xena chip and any additional devices on the Xorro board. XR_DATABUS is for the fast Localbus access to Core0. XR_INTERRUPT is used for Xena to interrupt the PA6T when it needs attention. This is likely to be used with XR_DATABUS XR_LONELYBIT is the extra unassigned pin

Example code to use the XTAG port:

1. include <proto/xena.h>
2. include <resources/xena.h>

struct XenaIFace *IXena; IXena = IExec->OpenResource("xena.resource"); if(NULL == IXena) {

   exit(-5);

} STRPTR result = IXena->AllocResource(XR_XTAGPORT, "MyAppName"); if(NULL == result) {

   // we have exclusive access, 
   // code using the JTAG port goes here

   //when finished, just
   IXena->FreeResource(XR_XTAGPORT);

} else {

   IDOS->Printf("We cannot access the port because %s got here first\n", result);

}
