dma from pci device

Mar 17, 2005 0 Replies

Hi,



I need to know if my pci device with dma capabilities can read-modify-write in one cycle. Whether such a things at all exists ?



I want to read host main memory from a pci device without the operating system modifying it till I am done, in other words I need some form of mutual exclusion.



Is this at all possible ?



your help is greatly appreciated! Allison
