Hi everybody,
I'm trying to write to a IEEE1284 device using my PCI based parallel
card. I use a very simple user space program for this. If I just write
some bytes (less than fifo depth) to the device everything is okay. But
if I write some more (more than fifo depth) then my computer crashes down.
I've activated CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_FIFO on the kernel.
I've discovered that it crashes after calling
/parport_pc_fifo_write_block_pio()/. Then it goes everything okay until
it enters in the bucle. For the first step of the bucle everything runs
okay (it writes the 16 bytes in the fifo). In the second step, it finds
the fifo full and waits until an interrupt occurrs
(/parport_wait_event()/). In the forth time /parport_wait_event()/ is
called (perhaps when the interruption is activated) the O.S. try to do
/down_interrupti//ble(&port->physport->ieee1284.irq)/, and then the
computer crases down.
It seems as an interrupt problem. My card is assigned to irq 11. I've
found that my video card is assigned to the same irq. Is that a problem?
But after installing parport and parport_pc modules, I can see that
interrupt 11 is own by my parallel card:
# cat /proc/interrupts
CPU0
0: 259911 XT-PIC timer
1: 2853 XT-PIC keyboard
2: 0 XT-PIC cascade
5: 3155 XT-PIC eth0
9: 6505 XT-PIC aic7xxx, aic7xxx
11: 0 XT-PIC parport0
12: 28093 XT-PIC PS/2 Mouse
14: 10322 XT-PIC ide0
NMI: 0
ERR: 0
I've tried to assigned in the BIOS some other IRQs to these two devices
but I was not able to make them work.
Does anybody have any idea? Thanks in advance.
