Subject: DOSEMU and memory-mapped IO
Date: Mon, 11 Nov 2013 14:39:51 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20131111143951.48054b72@rg.highlandtechnology.com> (raw)
So I've got a strange idea, and want to run it by folks smarter than me
before I get too far down the rabbit hole.
I have a lot of old DOS test and calibration software that works by
being told where to find an ISA-VME bridge in real mode memory. It
then opens up a pointer to it and goes about performing transactions,
happy as you like. No drivers, no nothing.
I'd like to try to migrate that software to a DOSEMU installation
instead. I've got a new PCIe-VME bridge, with drivers that create a
device in /dev that can be mmap'ed from Linux applications (it's just
all of BAR1). If I could, for instance, declare 0xB0000-0xC0000 inside
the DOSEMU environment to point to offset 0x10000-0x20000
of /dev/v120_v0, I'd be in all manner of business.
So I guess I've got two questions. A) Is this doable with DOSEMU as is,
and B) if not, is it doable with some non-heroic amount of code
slinging?
Thanks,
Rob
