Re: Access to IO port on x86 platform



What is the easiest way to access a port on x86 using CE version 6?

We have a special hardware on IO port x and want to be able to read and
write to it from my application. Do I need driver? Can use some simple
user mode driver?
By port I'm assuming you mean on the I/O bus accessed with the dedicated x86
IO instructions.

The cleanest and most portable solution is to write a device driver for the
device. In V5.0 and earlier you could get away with accessing the device
directly but as of V6.0 you cannot.
