UPDATE: Click here if you have problems with the parallel port interrupt
ADEOS IPIPE Linux Hard Real Time - Device Driver with MMAP
Here we have an ADEOS IPIPE device driver example that has double buffering and MMAP-ing.
Compile with the Makefile. You can decide with "#define READBLOCKING" if you want to poll
for new data from user-space with ioctl or if you want to use a blocking read function.
Furthermore you can decide with "#define DO_VIRQ" if you want to use a virtual IRQ
to unblock the read operation, or use the parallel port interrupt to unblock.
You need to make a "null-modem" for the parallel port - connect any output pin (pin 2-9)
with the IRQ pin (pin 10 = ACK).
Insert the HRT module (for kernel 2.4) with
# insmod ./skeleton.o
-or for kernel 2.6-
# insmod ./skeleton.ko
start the user process (which will write some data to "dump.txt") in another console
# ./user
and stimulate some parallel port interrupts (again in another console) with
# ./toogle
Check the kernel log now - you see some debug messages, e.g. when the buffer is switched etc.
Before all that you must create the device entry in /dev with
# mknod -m 666 /dev/skeleton c 240 0
Developed and tested with kernel 2.4.32 (adeos-ipipe-2.4.32-i386-1.1-02.patch). Also tested on
kernel 2.6.15 with the IPIPE 1.1-03 patch.
NOTE: If you test on kernels 2.4 and 2.6, make sure you do a "make clean" and everything should compile well.
