+
+The [source:soft/giet_vm/giet_drivers/rdk_driver.c rdk_driver.c] and [source:soft/giet_vm/giet_drivers/rdk_driver.h rdk_driver.h] files define the RDK driver. 
+
+This driver supports a virtual disk implemented as a memory segment, in the physical address space. 
+
+It is one of the physical disk driver that can be called by the generic IOC driver.
+
+The _rdk_read() and _rdk_write() blocking functions use a software memcpy, whatever the selected mode (BOOT / KERNEL / USER). 
+These blocking functions return only when the transfer is completed.
+As the number of concurrent accesses is not bounded, these functions don't use the _ioc_lock variable.
+
+The SEG_RDK_BASE virtual address must be defined in the hard_config.h file when the USE_RAMDISK flag is set.

+
+ === unsigned int '''_rdk_init()''' ===
+This function does nothing, but is required by the generic IOC API.
+
+ === unsigned int '''_rdk_read'''( unsigned int lba,   unsigned int buffer,  unsigned int count ) ===
+This function transfer data from the RAMDISK to a memory buffer. 
+ * mode     : BOOT / KERNEL / USER (unused)
+ * lba      : first block index on the block device
+ * buffer   : virtual base address of the memory buffer
+ * count    : number of blocks to be transfered.
+Returns 0 if success, > 0 if error.
+
+ === unsigned int '''_rdk_write'''( unsigned int lba,   unsigned int buffer,  unsigned int count ) ===
+This function transfer data from a memory buffer to the RAMDISK. 
+ * mode     : BOOT / KERNEL / USER (unused)
+ * lba      : first block index on the block device
+ * buffer   : virtual base address of the memory buffer
+ * count    : number of blocks to be transfered.
+Returns 0 if success, > 0 if error.
+
+ === unsigned int '''_rdk_get_block_size'''() ===
+This function returns the block size.
+
+ === unsigned int '''_rdk_get_status'''() ===
+This function returns always 0, but is required bi the generic IOC API.
