-The High level CI API
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-For the programmer
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-With the High Level CI approach any new card with almost any random
-architecture can be implemented with this style, the definitions
-inside the switch statement can be easily adapted for any card, thereby
-eliminating the need for any additional ioctls.
-
-The disadvantage is that the driver/hardware has to manage the rest. For
-the application programmer it would be as simple as sending/receiving an
-array to/from the CI ioctls as defined in the Linux DVB API. No changes
-have been made in the API to accommodate this feature.
-
-
-Why the need for another CI interface?
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-This is one of the most commonly asked question. Well a nice question.
-Strictly speaking this is not a new interface.
-
-The CI interface is defined in the DVB API in ca.h as:
-
-.. code-block:: c
-
- typedef struct ca_slot_info {
- int num; /* slot number */
-
- int type; /* CA interface this slot supports */
- #define CA_CI 1 /* CI high level interface */
- #define CA_CI_LINK 2 /* CI link layer level interface */
- #define CA_CI_PHYS 4 /* CI physical layer level interface */
- #define CA_DESCR 8 /* built-in descrambler */
- #define CA_SC 128 /* simple smart card interface */
-
- unsigned int flags;
- #define CA_CI_MODULE_PRESENT 1 /* module (or card) inserted */
- #define CA_CI_MODULE_READY 2
- } ca_slot_info_t;
-
-This CI interface follows the CI high level interface, which is not
-implemented by most applications. Hence this area is revisited.
-
-This CI interface is quite different in the case that it tries to
-accommodate all other CI based devices, that fall into the other categories.
-
-This means that this CI interface handles the EN50221 style tags in the
-Application layer only and no session management is taken care of by the
-application. The driver/hardware will take care of all that.
-
-This interface is purely an EN50221 interface exchanging APDU's. This
-means that no session management, link layer or a transport layer do
-exist in this case in the application to driver communication. It is
-as simple as that. The driver/hardware has to take care of that.
-
-With this High Level CI interface, the interface can be defined with the
-regular ioctls.
-
-All these ioctls are also valid for the High level CI interface
-
-#define CA_RESET _IO('o', 128)
-#define CA_GET_CAP _IOR('o', 129, ca_caps_t)

-
-
-Not all ioctl's are implemented in the driver from the API, the other
-features of the hardware that cannot be implemented by the API are achieved
-using the CA_GET_MSG and CA_SEND_MSG ioctls. An EN50221 style wrapper is
-used to exchange the data to maintain compatibility with other hardware.
