I don't know if this question belongs to this group, because it's my first attempt to
use this possibility of help. Anyway here it comes:
I try to comunicate under the Linux environement with a 16-bit custom pc board.
Linux provides a predefined device /dev/port and you can use the open/write/read
commands. Unfortunately these commands work with characters and therefore perform
only(?) 8-bit read/write procedures. But I need a complete 16-bit operation.
I know that there are commands like inb, outb, ... to perform direct communication
with the I/O ports but I don't know which include files I have to include.
(There is a definition of inb, outb, ... in the file asm/io.h, but later on compilation
the internal commands __inb, __outb, ... are unknown.
Maybe there is a library file I have to link during compilation for use of these
commands, or there are some appropriate commands for my problem. Because of having
no ducumentation I'm a little bit helpless.
