hiyee there luggers.......
i am using a i810 board with Award Bios. Part of the
project on Linux is that i have to make direct acess
to a memory location f000:cdcd part of the flash bios
and grep fpr a string in the bios.
This real address is wat i hav obtained from DOS
real mode using debug f000:cdcd.
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int i;
char *ptr;
ptr = (char *)0xf000cdcd;
for(i=0; i<=500; i++)
{
printf("%c",ptr);
*ptr++;
}
}
This is some code i got together with some help for a
dear friend...But this still doesnt get the string
from memory. I doubt Linux is even allowing me to
access the BIOS memory. Is this funda of protected
mode not allowing me to access those parts of memory.
If so wat system calls need i to pass to get into real
mode and make that access to the BIOS memory.
Luggers.....ny help is highly appreciated...
TIA.
