Help: *_DRIVER_TABLE_ENTRY ??? [2]

[Alex]

My question/doubt is to know when and in what circumnstancies each function member is called
and by who? Automaticlly by the kernel? In general how everything works inside rtems, from the interrupt ocurrency to the invocation of routines...

this is the specific information I am looking for. Sorry it it is a beginner question, but I am really a beginner.

Many thanks

alex
