CARD_WriteEepromAsync

C Specification

#include <nitro/card.h>

static inline void CARD_WriteEepromAsync( u32 dst, const void *src, u32 len, MIDmaCallback callback, void *arg);

Arguments

dst Transfer destination EEPROM address.
src Transfer source memory address.
len Byte length of data to be written.
callback Callback function for when the process completes. If the callback is not necessary, specify NULL. This callback is called from inside the interrupt handler.
arg Argument passed to the callback function. If NULL has been specified for the callback, this value is simply ignored

Return Values

None.

Description

Writes data asynchronously to an EEPROM device. This function immediately returns control. In order to use this function, you must first lock the access bus with the CARD_LockBackup function.
To wait for the process to end, use the CARD_WaitBackupAsync function. To determine the result of the process, call the CARD_GetResultCode function after the process has ended.
Note that this function internally communicates with the ARM7 via PXI.
The process will not end if PXI interrupts are not enabled.

Internal Operation

This function executes an asynchronous process using an internal thread. To learn more about this internal thread, see the explanation for the CARD_GetThreadPriority function.
