Re: Mapping physical memory into Application space


So, WinCe does not support the idea of mapping physical buffers to App
space. I can do this under Linux with the mmap system call. WinXP also allows
this but its not documented too well.

I could always pass the physical address to the application and have it call
MmapIOSpace(..)

Is the memory mapped using MmapIOSpace(..) accounted towards the process's
32MB limit ?

thanks for all the quick answers.
