Regarding parallel port in MPC8245...

[m madhuker]

Hello all...
         Im working on MPC8245 board..
with timesys GPL-linux..

I want to transfer data(just glow a light) in serial
port or parallel port...

so i worte a simple program to glow a light in
parallel port as follows:

---------
#include "asm/io.h"
#include<unistd.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<stdio.h>
main()
{
        outb(0x378,0xff);
        printf("Data sent out \n");
}
----------------------------------------

but when i compiled,it showing errors as follows:

[root@mail root]# powerpc-linux-gcc out.c
/tmp/ccED5Jlo.o: In function `main':
/tmp/ccED5Jlo.o(.text+0x20): undefined reference to
`outb'
/tmp/ccED5Jlo.o(.text+0x20): relocation truncated to
fit: R_PPC_REL24 outb
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
[root@mail root]#
----------------------------------------

the oub function  defination is in  "asm/io.h"..which
i included but also it is showing error undefined
reference...

in x86 it was executed perfectly...

Please can anybody help out from this problem....

                                      Regards
                                      Madhukar

Did you _really_ intend to point to "Gardening for Dummies"  by  Mike
MacCaskey & Bill Marken?

How is this related to this topic?

There are no data that cannot be plotted on a straight  line  if  the
axis are chosen correctly.

You make many errors here at once.

First: "asm/io.h" is a kernel header file, and you are  not  supposed
to include it at all in a user space application file.

Second: outb() is only available for kernel code (drivers) on PowerPC.

Third: I don't think that 0x378 will work on your MPC8245 board.

Four: eventually there is not even a PC style parallel port  on  your
board.

Not all the world is a VAX...


Check with your board manual if there is really a PC  style  parallel
port  on  it,  and if so, on which addresses it is mapped. Then study
Alessandro Rubini, Jonathan Corbet:  _"Linux  Device  Drivers"_,  2nd
Edition,  and  get  a clue about driver programming. Then implement a
device driver.

FORTRAN? The syntactically incorrect statement "DO 10 I = 1.10"  will
parse  and  generate  code  creating  a  variable, DO10I, as follows:
"DO10I = 1.10" If that doesn't terrify you, it should.
