Hi all, I'm fairly new to linux and also to this list so please don't hang me up if I'm wrong. But if your board provides gpiolib support it may be more easy to access gpios by using the sysfs?

For GPIOs, I am using a sample code as basis of my application. this sample code has been provided by the board manufacturer. The code snippets are as followed: > > ---- > ---- > #define AT_BASE 0xFFFFF000 > -- > --- > static void *piobase; > static unsigned int* base; > --- > --- > int main() > { > static int fd, pagesize; > int pattern; > pagesize = getpagesize(); > fd = open("/dev/mem", O_RDWR); > piobase = mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, AT_BASE); > base = (unsigned int *) piobase + 0x100; > -------- > --------- > > } > > Here i am unable to undersatnd the reason of choosing 0xFFFFF000 as AT_BASE, because as per the memory map of AT91SAM960, this particular location is assigned to Advanced Interrupt Controller. > > With Best Regards, > Prashant > > > > Yahoo! recommends that you upgrade to the new and safer Internet Explorer 8. http://downloads.yahoo.com/in/internetexplorer/ > ------------------------------------------------------------------- > List admin: http://lists.arm.linux.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm > FAQ: http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/mailinglists/faq.php > Etiquette: http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/mailinglists/etiquette.php > ------------------------------------------------------------------- List admin: http://lists.arm.linux.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm FAQ: http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/mailinglists/faq.php Etiquette: http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/mailinglists/etiquette.php
