    A brief explanation of the sample application code provided by North Atlantic Industries for use with their SSK.
</summary>
/**************************************************************************************************************/

Overview: The provided C code is a sample application demonstrating how to interface with North Atlantic Industries (NAI) embedded function modules using their Software Support Kit (SSK). The code includes necessary library headers and defines a function to initialize Data Set (DS) configurations for NAI modules. Below is a detailed explanation of the code structure and functionality:

Header Inclusions: The code begins by including necessary standard libraries and specific NAI SSK header files:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <ctype.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
  • stdio.h: Standard I/O operations.

  • ctype.h: Character type handling.

  • stdlib.h: General utilities (e.g., memory allocation, process control).

  • string.h: String handling functions.

NAI-specific Header Files: These headers provide necessary interfaces and definitions for working with NAI boards and modules.

#include "include/naiapp_interrupt.h"
#include "include/naiapp_interrupt_ether.h"
#include "include/naiapp_boardaccess_menu.h"
#include "include/naiapp_boardaccess_query.h"
#include "include/naiapp_boardaccess_access.h"
#include "include/naiapp_boardaccess_display.h"
#include "include/naiapp_boardaccess_utils.h"
#include "nai_ds_cfg.h"
#include "nai_ds_int.h"
#include "nai.h"
#include "naibrd.h"
#include "functions/naibrd_ds.h"

These files likely handle various aspects of interaction with NAI hardware, including: - Interrupt management. - Ethernet interactions. - Board access utilities, queries, and display. - Data Sets (DS) configurations and internal operations. - Definitions for the board and module interfaces.

Function Definition: This portion of the code defines a function to initialize DS configurations:

void initializeDSConfigurations(int32_t cardIndex, int32_t module, int32_t modid, int32_t channel, int32_t maxChannel, int32_t minChannel)
{
    inputDSConfig.cardIndex = cardIndex;
    inputDSConfig.module = module;
   inputDSConfig.modid = modid;
   inputDSConfig.channel = channel;
   inputDSConfig.maxChannel = maxChannel;
   inputDSConfig.minChannel = minChannel;
}
  • initializeDSConfigurations: This function initializes DS configuration parameters for a specified NAI module.

  • Parameters:

  • cardIndex: The index of the card.

  • module: The module number.

  • modid: The module ID.

  • channel: The channel number.

  • maxChannel: The maximum channel number.

  • minChannel: The minimum channel number.

  • Within the function, it appears to assign the passed arguments to a global or externally defined inputDSConfig structure likely representing the configuration state for a DS.

Usage: This setup function would typically be called at the beginning of an application to set up the necessary configurations before interacting with the hardware. The initialized configuration allows the application to manage the hardware with the specific parameters defined by the user.

Definitions and Function Types: - int32_t: A 32-bit signed integer type defined in stdint.h. - inputDSConfig: Likely a globally defined structure holding the DS configuration parameters. This structure�s fields are being populated by the initializeDSConfigurations function.

Summary: This C code sample provides the essential setup for configuring an NAI data set module within an embedded system. Including necessary headers and defining an initialization function facilitates handling the operational parameters essential for interacting with NAI modules.
