Hi all,
Thank you for your many helpful replies. However, writing the parallel
port code in userland is not an option, for the explanation, please see
this URL:
http://csgsoft.doc.ic.ac.uk/leds/
Since kbeat_led needs to poke the parallel port leds it must be in
kernel space.
Below my sig is the code I have currently, with the point-of-failure
indicated (search for /*). I know how to write the code I want using
direct access to the parallel port on the PC, but I wish to use the
kernel parport stack so that it will work if I bung it on a sun too.
Regards,
