Hi, I'm trying to map a PCI memory region 1 into user space from my driver (PPC440GX, Linux 2.6.10). Here's the mmap routine of the driver that I'm using:Why don't use the mmap file exposed by sysfs so you dont have to write your own code? See Documentation/filesystems/sysfs-pci.txt. But effectively down under /sys/bus/pci/devices/[domain:bus:dev:func]/ you will get resource[0..N-1] that corresponds to each BAR on the device. This is a mmap file to access that region.
I have some custom hardware that appears on the PCI bus as follows: bash-3.00# lspci -vv 00:01.0 Class 0680: 1172:0004 (rev 01) Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- Status: Cap- 66Mhz+ UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort+ <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- Latency: 128, Cache Line Size 08 Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 71 Region 0: Memory at 000000009ffff000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K] Region 1: Memory at 000000009fc00000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=2M] But when I try to access resource0 or resource1, I get a read error. What characteristic of the device or driver determines whether it will allow mmap-ing? (I've written the driver for this device myself.) -- Phil
