The example code I pasted earlier didn't compile, and I made a few changes.
/* * iopl.c: very simple example of port I/O * * This code does nothing useful, just a port write, a pause, * and a port read. Compile with `gcc -O2 iopl.c -o iopl.o', * and run as root with `./iopl.o'. */ #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/io.h> #include <stdlib.h> #define BASEPORT 0x378 /* lp1 */ int main() { /* Get access to the ports */ if (iopl(3)) {perror("iopl"); exit(1);} /* Set the data signals (D0-7) of the port to all low (0) */ outb(0, BASEPORT); /* Sleep for a while (100 ms) */ usleep(100000); /* Read from the status port (BASE+1) and display the result */ printf("status: %d\n", inb(BASEPORT + 1)); /* We don't need the ports anymore */ if (iopl(3)) {perror("iopl"); exit(1);} exit(0); } /* end of iopl.c */ I get this error: iopl: Function not implemented So I switch to ioperm() using this code: /* * ioperm.c: very simple example of port I/O * * This code does nothing useful, just a port write, a pause, * and a port read. Compile with `gcc -O2 ioperm.c -o ioperm.o', * and run as root with `./ioperm.o'. */ #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/io.h> #include <stdlib.h> #define BASEPORT 0x378 /* lp1 */ int main() { /* Get access to the ports */ if (ioperm(BASEPORT, 3, 1)) {perror("ioperm"); exit(1);} /* Set the data signals (D0-7) of the port to all low (0) */ outb(0, BASEPORT); /* Sleep for a while (100 ms) */ usleep(100000); /* Read from the status port (BASE+1) and display the result */ printf("status: %d\n", inb(BASEPORT + 1)); /* We don't need the ports anymore */ if (ioperm(BASEPORT, 3, 0)) {perror("ioperm"); exit(1);} exit(0); } /* end of ioperm.c */ Then same thing except for ioperm: ioperm: Function not implemented Posting code here because I'm going to test this code on a Debian system.. Feel free to try this out on your end.. I'll post my results in a second. I don't mean to flood the mailing list btw!
