3.1 Overview
This chapter describes the software aspects of the EP10.
3.2 Drivers
3.2.1 Windows 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".
3.2.2 Non-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
3.3 System 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.
3.4 Registry Keys
3.4.1 Peripheral 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
Bit Functionality Description
0 (LSB) No Notification No 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
Bit Functionality Description
0 (LSB) Reserved
1 USB Host This flag indicates a peripheral that requires USB Host functionality. When this bit
2Reserved
3Reserved
4 USB OTG This flag is required for docking peripherals with USB On-The-Go functionality.
5 (MSB) Dock Power Out The 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.
3.4.1.1 Device 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:
[HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\Peripherals\devices\4\1\driver]
Psion EP10 HDK User Manual
16
Chapter 3: Software
Software Registry Entries
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:
[HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\Peripherals\devices\active\4\[Device ID]
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:
[HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\Peripherals\devices\4\1\RegCopy]
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:
[HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\Peripherals\devices\4\1\RegCopy] “Drivers\\BuiltIn\\Peripherals\\devices\\4\\1\\RegKeys” = “Software\\Psion\\DeviceDriver”
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.
3.4.2 Software 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):
[HKLM\Software\Psion\SystemProperties\Software\<name>]
Beneath that key, set the following registry values:
@ (REG_SZ): Default value. Set to “Components” to make the software information appear in the Com­ponents list of the System Properties.
Va lu e (REG_SZ): Enter the version of the software component here.
Psion EP10 HDK User Manual

Chapter 3: Software Peripheral Detection and Driver Loading Sequence
For exa m p le:
; Registry entry for a software program named Scanner Program, version 1.5.21
;
[HKLM\Software\Psion\SystemProperties\Software\Scanner Program]
“@”=”Components”
“Value”=”1.5.21”
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”.
3.5 Peripheral 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:

4.4 Peripheral Design
4.4.1 Physical 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
Psion EP10 HDK User Manual
31
Chapter 4: Mechanical Considerations USB-Serial Configuration
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.
4.4.2 USB-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 laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws applicable therein, excluding the conflict of laws provisions, govern this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement is deemed invalid or unenforceable by any country, that particular provision will be deemed modified to the extent necessary to make the pro­vision valid and enforceable, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Failure by us to insist on strict performance or to exercise a right when entitled, does not prevent us from doing so at a later time, either in relation to that default or any subsequent one.
No modifications of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and approved by us.
