    Hi

    I have been trying to write a channel address and read it back using ECP
    mode.
    The following is the code.

       mode = IEEE1284_MODE_ECP | IEEE1284_ADDR;
       if (ioctl (hParPort, PPNEGOT, &mode)) {
            ParPortError = 1;
            return;
       }
       
       // Channel address can be from 0 - 127
       WriteAddr[0] = (char) ChAddr;

       Result = write (hParPort, WriteAddr, 1);
       if (Result != 1) {
            ParPortError = 1;
            return;
       }
       
       Result = read (hParPort, ReadAddr, 1);
       if (Result == -1) {
            ParPortError = 1;
            return;
       }

       if (strncmp (WriteAddr, ReadAddr, 1))
       {
            ParPortError = 1;
            return;
       }

    I hooked up a Logic Analyzer and I can tell that the negotiation and
    write
    commands work. I can see the transactions and they are according to
    theIEEE1284 spec.
    But, when I try to do an address read, a problem occurs.
    INIT goes low, then PERROR goes low, then STROBE goes low and BUSY
    goes low indicating that an address is to be read, but
    AUTOFD does not go high like it is supposed to. This causes zero bytes
    to
    be read. AUTOFD is controlled by the host (parallel port driver).
    I can sent the screen capture, if that will help.

    Kernel: 2.4.4

    Appreciate your help.
    Hassan
