Hi,
The best solution, I think is :
- open /dev/io to allow out/in port reads and writes from a
user process.
- do your stuff in a user process with things like this:
__inline__ static void port_out( char value, unsigned short port )
{
__asm__ volatile ("outb %0,%1"
::"a" ((char) value), "d"((unsigned short) port));
}
__inline__ static char port_in( unsigned short port )
{
char _v;
__asm__ volatile ("inb %1,%0"
:"=a" (_v):"d"((unsigned short) port));
return _v;
}
You may have some info about parallel port programming at
