Summary
Resets the pointer device hardware.
Prototype
typedef
EFI_STATUS
(EFIAPI *EFI_SIMPLE_POINTER_RESET) (
IN EFI_SIMPLE_POINTER_PROTOCOL *This,
IN BOOLEAN ExtendedVerification
);
Parameters
This A pointer to the EFI_SIMPLE_POINTER_PROTOCOL
instance. Type EFI_SIMPLE_POINTER_PROTOCOL is
defined in Section 10.10.
ExtendedVerification Indicates that the driver may perform a more exhaustive
verification operation of the device during reset.
Description
This Reset() function resets the pointer device hardware.
As part of initialization process, the firmware/device will make a quick but reasonable attempt to
verify that the device is functioning. If the
ExtendedVerification flag is TRUE the
firmware may take an extended amount of time to verify the device is operating on reset.
Otherwise the reset operation is to occur as quickly as possible.
The hardware verification process is not defined by this specification and is left up to the platform
firmware and/or EFI driver to implement.
Status Codes Returned
EFI_SUCCESS The device was reset.
EFI_DEVICE_ERROR The device is not functioning correctly and could not be reset.
