Subject: problem accessing /dev/port
Date: Thu, 22 Nov 2001 17:05:14 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3BFD769A.376003D5@nortelnetworks.com> (raw)
To begin, I'm running 2.2.17 with some patches.
I'm attempting to have a userspace app read and write I/O ports on a powerpc
machine. The obvious method (iopl()) doesn't seem to be available (using glibc,
but sys/io.h doesn't exist).
When I try and access /dev/port with a small utility that works fine on my PIII,
I get the error message "Device not configured". The file exists in /dev and
has the same permissions on both machines.
Do I need to enable something in the kernel to support this? Where is this
configured?
Thanks,
Chris
