2.2.1.2. Device access logical block

The Device Access logical block is dedicated to the management of the local devices including the available storage medium, the identify management and information related to the available virtualized interfaces.

Furthermore, the notion of devcaps is also supported.

The agency holds a table of devcaps (device capabilities).

A device capability is a 32-bit number.

DEVCAPS are organized in classes and attributes. For each devcaps, the 8 first higher bits (MSB) are the class number while attributes are encoded in the 24 lower bits (LSB).

A devcap class represents a global functionality while devcap attributes are the real devcaps belongig to a specific class.

Further details will come soon.
