Member Function Documentation

oneway void IPlatformComponent::OnLoad

(

)

The OnLoad function is called when all components in the platform have been started and have registered with the IPlatformManager interface. After having received OnLoad, applications may be started on the system.

oneway void IPlatformComponent::OnUnload

(

in boolean

willReboot

)

The OnUnload function is called to platform components as a signal do cleanup work, for example terminate applications or write modified non-volatile data to flash before reboot. Regardless whether or not the component has cleanup work to do, the component must always acknowledge this event by calling IPlatformService::UnloadDone when finished.

Parameters:

willReboot

Is set to true if a reboot will follow the unload, false if reboot is not planned. The component may want to take different actions depending on this.

oneway void IPlatformComponent::Ping

(

)

The Ping function tells the platform component to perform a check that it is working properly. The component acknowledges by answering IPlatformService::ReportPing. If the component do not respond within the timeout the entire platform will be restarted.
