 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. This ramdisk vseg must be defined in the mapping.
+This driver supports RAMDISK, that is a virtual disk implemented as a memory segment, in the physical address space. The ramdisk vseg must be defined in the mapping.
 
-This driver is called by the generic IOC driver, when the USE_IOC_RDK flag is set in the hard_config.h file.
+This driver is called by the generic FAT handler, when the USE_IOC_RDK flag is set in the hard_config.h file.
 
-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 _rdk_access() function uses a software memcpy whatever the requested mode (synchronous or descheduling), and returns only when the transfer is completed.

+As the number of concurrent accesses is not bounded, these functions don't use any lock.
 
 The SEG_RDK_BASE virtual address must be defined in the hard_config.h file when the USE_IOC_RDK flag is set.
