MPC8272 LPT support

Hi,

 

I'm new to Linux and PowerPC. 

Last days I did some research to find out if we could use a specific
board for our new project.  I found a board with a MPC8272 processor; it
got all the IO we need, except for a LPT port that we use now for
driving a HD44780 based display.

 

Now the MPC8272 has a lot free GPIO pins which can be used for driving
the HD44780 controller. 

Now my question is if there are drivers for these GPIO pins and if there
is a way too emulate a parallel port on GPIO pins.

 

Thanks in advanced.

 

Regards,

 

Chris
