Detailed Description

These constants are used as parameters by the framework functions when creating hardware types. Two types of hardware exist: FWHW_SPECS and FWHW_CCPC. Both distinguish by a different number of common settings (in the case of FWHW_CCPC just the name of the credit card PC) and a different set of available registers. For example FWHW_DCUChannel is unique to the SPECS system whereas FWHW_GBE is only used by the CCPC. A parallel bus register inside the SPECS system is represented by fwHW_PBUS whereas in the CCPC system it has to be created with FWHW_LBUS. If a hardware can be inserted into both types, it can be represented by FWHW_GENERIC and is adopted upon insertion. In some cases it might be usefull to hold also plain variables inside a hardware structure. A set of the most common ones can also be provided via the fwHw tool.

NEW: To be 'forward' compatible with new demands for user-specific registers requiring implementations on the server side, a new register type was introduced: 'UserSpecific'. If you use this type you have a set of generic parameters to describe your user-specific register, which are then interpretated in a special manner by the server. Note that the usage requires some intervention on the server side. Your register has to be assigned a type-id. So far a FiFo and a select-register-access was implemented.
