Documentation
# axdevice

**axdevice** is a reusable, OS-agnostic device abstraction layer designed for virtual machines. It allows dynamic device configuration and MMIO emulation in `no_std` environments, making it suitable for hypervisors or operating systems targeting RISC-V or AArch64.

## โœจ Highlights

- ๐Ÿ“ฆ **Componentized**: Designed as a modular crate to be integrated into any OS or hypervisor.
- ๐Ÿงฉ **Flexible device abstraction**: Supports dynamic device registration and MMIO handling.
- ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ **No `std` required**: Uses `alloc` and `core` only, suitable for bare-metal development.
- ๐Ÿงต **Thread-safe**: Devices are stored using `Arc`, ready for multicore use.
- ๐Ÿงฑ **Easily extensible**: Just plug in device types via `axdevice_base::BaseDeviceOps`.

## ๐Ÿ“ฆ Structure

- `config.rs`: Defines `AxVmDeviceConfig`, a wrapper for device configuration input.
- `device.rs`: Defines `AxVmDevices`, manages and dispatches MMIO to registered devices.

## ๐Ÿ” Usage Flow

```text
[1] Load VM device config (Vec<EmulatedDeviceConfig>)
        โ†“
[2] Create AxVmDeviceConfig
        โ†“
[3] Pass into AxVmDevices::new()
        โ†“
[4] MMIO access triggers handle_mmio_{read,write}
        โ†“
[5] Device selected by GuestPhysAddr
        โ†“
[6] Forwarded to BaseDeviceOps::handle_{read,write}()
```

## ๐Ÿš€ Example

```rust
use axdevice::{AxVmDeviceConfig, AxVmDevices};

// Step 1: Load configuration (e.g. from .toml or hypervisor setup)
let config = AxVmDeviceConfig::new(vec![/* EmulatedDeviceConfig */]);

// Step 2: Initialize devices
let devices = AxVmDevices::new(config);

// Step 3: Emulate MMIO access
let _ = devices.handle_mmio_read(0x1000_0000, 4);
devices.handle_mmio_write(0x1000_0000, 4, 0xdead_beef);
```
