2.3.14. aocl_mmd_hostchannel_create

The aocl_mmd_hostchannel_create function creates a channel interface.

Syntax

int aocl_mmd_hostchannel_create( int handle,
                                 char *channel_name,
                                 size_t queue_depth,
                                 int direction );

Function Arguments

  1. handle—A positive int value representing the handle to the board obtained from the aocl_mmd_open() call.
  2. channel_name—Name of the channel to be initialized. The channel name is same as that used in the board_spec.xml file.
  3. queue_depth—The size of pinned internal buffer in bytes. Pointer to the internal buffer is provided when the user calls the aocl_mmd_hostchannel_get_buffer() function.
  4. direction—The direction of the channel.

Return Value

If the function executes successfully, the return value is positive and is handle to the channel.

If the function fails to execute, a negative return value indicates an error.
