hi, i am working with a 440MX-based embedded system -- specifically, it uses the Intel 82443MX integrated north/south device ("Banister").
i would like to be able to toggle the GPIO pins from a userland application running under linux (2.4 kernel). i.e., i need to toggle GPIO1 (pin E4) through GPIO20 (pin K3).
according to the 440MX/82443 datasheet and application programming guides, the GPIO pins are accessible through PCI config function 0, registers B0-B3, D4-DB, and E0-E3. this is from section 6-15 of
my question is, how do i access the PCI registers from userland C? i have seen some examples using inb/outb but for the most part they are geared towards addressing the parallel port. i can look up the exact register values for the 440MX, that's not the problem -- the question is how does one implement userland-to-PCI-space read/write routines using the linux inb/outb primitives?
additionally, i understand some measures need to be taken to allow a userland application to write directly to PCI memory (ostensibly bypassing memory bounds checking). can anyone suggest some links which demonstrate how this is implemented as well?
any pointers appreciated.
thanks and regards, jim
