Hey there!
I have a PowerPC board which has status registers at location 0xF800 0000.
I need to read out and change these registers from my kernel module and wonder how to achive this.
I tried something like this:
my_mem_reg = request_mem_region(BCSR_START, sizeof(struct bcsr), "blafasel"
;
my_mem_map = ioremap(BCSR_START, sizeof(struct bcsr));
int m;
for (m=0; m<10; m++)
{
printk(KERN_ALERT "%X: %02X\n",((unsigned int)my_mem_map)+m,ioread8(my_mem_map+m));
}
iowrite8(15,my_mem_map+0x5);
the code compiles and runs without error but does not bring the desired effect on the board, so maybe I am messing something up.
The board's registers are 8 bit in size and I especially need the one at 0xF800 0005 where some status LEDs can be set.
The thing is, I am totally new to this I want to try something where at first I can see the success: LED on or off :-)
