This chapter describes the software aspects of the EP10.
3.2Drivers
3.2.1Windows Drivers
The Peripherals Driver
Psion provides the peripherals driver for all expansion and docking peripherals. The peripherals driver is a
stream driver activated very early in the boot sequence.
The Serial Port Driver
The full-function UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter) serial port driver is loaded if required, as determined by the registry settings for any peripherals detected. For details on the registry settings, see Section 3.4.1: "Peripheral Registry Settings".
3.2.2Non-Psion Drivers
The Psion platform loads standard device drivers. If the peripheral uses standard drivers such as serial or
USB, there is no need to load custom drivers.
There must be a registry entry for the driver and its parameters. For more information see Section 3.4:
"Registry Keys".
Chapter 3: Software
Overview
3.3System Initialization
During system startup on EP10, the following sequence occurs:
1.The device ID is read (if a dock is connected).
2.The USB (OTG or Host) ports/hub are enabled.
3.The device-specific driver (if there is one) is loaded.
4.A dock notification is sent out when the shell is ready.
3.4Registry Keys
3.4.1Peripheral Registry Settings
This section describes the registry keys required by the peripherals driver to identify and define the behaviour of peripherals. The parent key for all of the device-specific subkeys is:
[HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\Peripherals\devices]
Within that key, create a subkey (if it does not already exist) for the type of connector that the peripheral
will attach to. For the EP10, only the docking connector is available, which is identified with the subkey ‘4’.
For example, the registry keys that describe peripherals connecting to the docking connector would be
stored in the subkey:
[HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\Peripherals\devices\4]
Within the connector type subkey create a further subkey using the Device ID reported by the peripheral.
For peripherals that attach to the docking connector, an integer value based on a resistor ID in the peripheral is used for identification (see Table 3.3: "Docking Device Identification" for resistor values). For exam-
ple, the Device Name (resistor ID) for the EP10 single desktop dock is 8, therefore the correct registry key
for parameters pertaining to that peripheral is:
[HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\Peripherals\devices\4\8]
Device Registry Values
Within the subkey for the specific peripheral, add the following device registry values:
•Name (REG_SZ): A descriptive name for the peripheral.
Psion EP10 HDK User Manual
15
Chapter 3: Software
>
>
Peripheral Registry Settings
•PowerMode (REG_DWORD): This value determines how and when the peripheral hardware is powered
by the peripherals driver. The possible values are 1 (Auto) and 2 (Manual). If the power mode is set to
Auto, the peripheral power is managed by the peripherals driver; the peripheral is powered off when
the computer enters suspend mode and powered on when the computer resumes activity.
The default setting for this value is 2, which is the recommended setting. Under this setting, power to the peripheral
must be controlled by a loaded device driver or application.
•Notifications (REG_DWORD): The notifications registry value determines how the user is notified
about peripherals.
This value is a bit field as defined in the following table:
Table 3.1 Notifications Registry Value Definitions
BitFunctionalityDescription
0 (LSB)No NotificationNo notification is displayed.
1 (MSB)Notification
The default setting for this value is 0.
Enabled
Setting this flag causes a “new device” pop-up to be displayed, containing the
name and status of the peripheral. The name reported is the DeviceNameID
registry value. If that value does not exist, the Name registry value is used
instead. If that also does not exist, the Device Name from the registry key itself
is used.
•LoadFlags (REG_DWORD): The load flags specify the functionality required by the attached peripheral,
and therefore the device driver (e.g. USB, UART, etc.) that needs to be loaded to support the peripheral. The LoadFlags value is treated as a bit field, as defined in the following table:
Table 3.2 LoadFlags Registry Value Definitions
BitFunctionalityDescription
0 (LSB)Reserved
1USB HostThis flag indicates a peripheral that requires USB Host functionality. When this bit
2Reserved
3Reserved
4USB OTGThis flag is required for docking peripherals with USB On-The-Go functionality.
5 (MSB)Dock Power OutThe connected peripheral requires power from the battery.
If this flag is not specified, any custom device drivers required by the peripheral must be specified in
the driver registry subkey (see Section 3.4.1.1: "Device Driver Registry Keys").
•Icon (REG_DWORD): This is the Resource ID of the icon to be displayed for this peripheral in the status
bar. Currently, icons can only be loaded from Psion DLLs.
•DeviceNameID (REG_DWORD): This is the Resource ID of the name string to be displayed in the “New
Device” window. Currently, the name string can only be loaded from Psion DLLs.
is set, the USB hub and ports are powered and enabled for the docking connector.
This bit must be set for any docking peripheral with a USB Host connector.
3.4.1.1Device Driver Registry Keys
If the peripheral requires an additional driver to be loaded, registry keys need to be created to specify the
information for the driver. As a rule, docking peripherals do not require additional drivers, nor do many USB
peripherals. For peripherals that do require an additional driver to be loaded, follow these steps:
Within the device registry key, add a “driver” subkey. For example:
Under the \driver subkey, add the following standard registry values for drivers:
•Prefix (REG_SZ)
•Dll (REG_SZ)
•Index (REG_DWORD)
•Flags (REG_DWORD)
•IClass (REG_MULTI_SZ)
For descriptions and details of these values, consult the Microsoft documentation on developing device
drivers. Note that the Order value is not used here.
The registry keys and values in the \driver subkey are not accessed directly, but are used as a template to
create a driver entry in a different registry location. The \driver subkey and all of its entries are copied to
the following registry location:
Note: The driver entries are only copied if the driver key is present and contains a Dll registry value.
The drivers for detected peripherals are loaded from this “active” registry location. The driver is loaded
through a call to ActiveDeviceEx() after other initialization is finished.
It may also be necessary to copy registry keys from one location to another in the registry before loading a
driver. To do this, first create a “RegCopy” subkey. For example:
Within the \RegCopy subkey, add one or more entries in the form of “source” = “dest”, where source is the
source registry key and dest is the destination registry key.
Note: In the rare case that registry information needs to be copied outside HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,
instead name the subkey “RegCopy_HKCU” (for HKEY_CURRENT_USERS) or “RegCopy_HKCR”
(for HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT).
Remember that the backslash ‘\’ characters in the registry key strings will need to be ‘escaped’ with
another backslash character. For example:
This function copies the specified source key and all subkeys underneath it to the target location.
In rare cases, multiple drivers may need to be loaded to support a single piece of hardware. In these cases,
the Windows bus enumerator can be used (see the Microsoft documentation at
http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/BusEnum2) . Alternatively, the driver specified in the driver key can load
the other drivers.
3.4.2Software Registry Entries
If the peripheral uses custom software, the version information for the software can be added to the
System Properties of the System Control Panel applet.
Using the registry functions, create the following registry key (where <name> is the name of the software
component as it will appear in the System Properties):
This example creates an entry in the Components list of the System Properties tab of the System Control
Panel applet, which reads “Scanner Program: 1.5.21”.
3.5Peripheral Detection and Driver Loading Sequence
When a peripheral is attached to the docking connector, the following steps are performed to detect and
identify the connected hardware and load the appropriate drivers:
1.The device ID is detected.
2.The registry is searched for a matching device ID. If a matching entry is not found, the detect
operation terminates.
3.If a matching device entry is found, the registry entry for the driver (if any) is copied to the active
registry key.
4.If one or more RegCopy entries are found, the source keys are copied to the destination
key locations.
5.Power is enabled to the connector.
6.If USB functionality is specified, the USB (OTG or Host) ports/hub are enabled.
7.The device-specific driver (if there is one) is loaded.
The peripheral attached to the docking connector is identified to the EP10 by means of a resistor. The value
of the resistor provides a Device ID number, and indicates which functionalities of the EP10 must be enabled
for that peripheral, according to the following table:
Table 3.3 Docking Device Identification

Bundled with the EP10 HDK is a demo application that can be used to test the basic functionality of an
expansion peripheral. The files for this application (including the source code) can be located in the
..\DemoApp subfolder of where you installed the HDK files.
To run the HDK demo application, copy the 7515HDK.dll and EP10HDKDemo.exe files to the file system on
your EP10 hand-held computer. The .dll file must be located in the same folder as the executable file, or in
the system folder.
Double-tap on the executable file on the EP10 to launch the demo application. The application will run
through a sequence of function calls and report the results in status windows on the EP10 display.
•Check power mode (Auto/Manual), and set to Manual if not already set. Report result.
•Report current power state (enabled/disabled).
•Toggle the power state, and report.
•Restore the power state to original value, and report.
Tap OK to proceed through the report messages, and cycle through to the end of the application.
This chapter describes the physical aspects of manufacturing and mounting peripherals to the base of
the EP10.
4.2Materials
The EP10 snap-modules manufactured by Psion are manufactured using ABS + PC CX7240, and the texturing is VDI27. We recommend using a similar material for your peripherals.
4.3HDK Mechanical Files
The Hardware Development Kit provides the following mechanical models and drawings:
4.3.13D Files
STEP files provide 3D models of the EP10 and snap modules for viewing with CAD software. These models
give the exact forms and dimensions of the components so that peripherals can be designed to fit the
EP10 precisely.

4.4Peripheral Design
4.4.1Physical Design Considerations
Custom EP10 peripherals connect through the docking connector on the base of the unit. Whether this peripheral uses a “snap module”-type design that attaches to the unit and travels with it, or a “desktop
dock”-type design, in which the EP10 will remain at rest, there are a few important points to bear in mind
when designing your peripheral.
There are no threaded inserts for screws in the EP10 to secure the peripheral. However, there is a small
cavity on both sides of the EP10 for spring-mounted catches to latch on to. Your peripheral should include
catches which fit in these cavities and hold the peripheral securely to the unit, but are also easily released
by the user. The EP10 HDK includes drawings and schematics of the left and right latches from the Psion
snap modules, for reference in designing these catches.
When designing your peripheral consider whether the user will need full access to the keyboard, microphone, hand-strap latch, or the battery compartment while the peripheral is attached, and make sure these
areas are not covered.
There are small alignment holes on either side of the docking connector designed to accommodate studs
on the peripheral. This helps align the electrical contacts on the peripheral precisely with the contacts of
the EP10 docking connector, and to keep them from shifting during use. it is highly recommended that the
design of your peripheral includes these alignment studs.
4.4.2USB-Serial Configuration
The C8051 microprocessor chip used with the Psion USB-serial firmware is capable of reporting different
configurations to the Psion hand-held computer. The configuration is dependant on the voltages present on
some of the C8051 GPIO pins at initialization time. See the table below for configurations supported
by EP10.
The assignments are as shown to avoid conflicts when plugging in a standard USB-serial adaptor into a
vehicle cradle or desktop dock. Thus you can have two serial ports on these devices and they will not conflict with each other.
This chapter describes the details of the EP10 docking connector, and the connectors of the snap modules
available for the EP10.
5.2Docking Connector
The 16-pin docking connector on the EP10 main logic board provides power connectivity in both directions
(to power/charge the EP10 from the peripheral, or to use the EP10 to provide power to a peripheral), as well
as USB connectivity. For serial connectivity, a USB-to-serial component must be included in the peripheral
(such as in the RV4002 snap module).
