Huh? What is paralleltest.dll? It looks like just a plain old dll, which
you would create an exe to load.

Hi, thanks. I tried that, and it worked.

I got my test driver compiled and in the release directory of the
target as you can see in the dir command output:

------------
Welcome to the Windows CE Telnet Service on WindowsCE

\> cd Release

Using the Visual Studio's Remote Process Viewer, i can see that
parallel.dll is running, but parallelTest.dll not.

parallel.dll was added when i checked it in the catalog items, but it
has no useful functions.

parallelTest is my project, a DLL which is just like this:


BOOL APIENTRY DllMain( HANDLE hModule,
DWORD ul_reason_for_call,
LPVOID lpReserved
)
{
WritePortUchar((unsigned char *) (0x378), 0);

}

By the way, i added parallelTest.dll to both platform.bin and
platform.reg

So, please:

1 - Is there a way to load a DLL when the system is already up and
running?
2 - How can i configure wince to automatically load parallelTest.dll?
3 - I'm using my own WritePortUchar because when i try to #include
<ceddk.h> to use WRITE_PORT_UCHAR, i get a compiler error because the
header is not found

thanks again for the patience

Rafael

That is becuase it is bad practice to modify the code in Public.
Instead,
you should clone the code and place it in a folder that you are
controlling,
like your BSP. Once you do that, your error should be found during
compile.

Ok, thanks. Bear with me please, i have already tried that without
success.

Well, i tried to go to the Catalog Items -> CEBASE and turned on the
item "Parallel l Port Support".

Then i went to solution explorer -> drivers, OAK -> parallel

Just to check, i added a text without comments to generate a compiler
error. When i asked to build the solution, i got no errors, and the
compiler output does not even try to compile the parallel port driver.

I searched for this a lot, and i did not find any explanation or
documentation on how to add a new module....

how could i do this?

thanks

Rafael

Another couple of things, anyway:
-you do not need to write your own I/O access functions, ceddk
provides
READ_PORT_UCHAR, etc.
-*First* create the event to signal the IST, then call
InterruptInitialize
to bind the event with the SysIntr, not the reverse
-It is better if you first set up all your interrupt stuff, then

Hi,

i am trying to implement a parallel port IST on WinCE Embedded 6.0.
I
adapted and compiled a code from this thread from this newsgroup:

http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windowsce.platbuilder...

Well, my code is like this:

// Subproject5.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console
application.
//

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <Pkfuncs.h>
#include "nkintr.h"

#define IOBASE 0x300 // default LPT base address
#define PORTA IOBASE
#define PORTB IOBASE+1
#define PORTC IOBASE+2
#define CONTROL IOBASE+3
#define INTE 0x80
#define PORT_A_OUTPUT 0x03
#define PORT_B_OUTPUT 0xC0
#define PORT_C_OUTPUT 0x30

// Parallel interrupt event handle
HANDLE hIntPar;

// IST Thread handle
HANDLE hThreadIST;

void WritePortUchar (PUCHAR port, UCHAR value)
{
__asm
{
mov dx, word ptr port
mov al, value
out dx, al
}
}

void PAR_IST(void)
{
int result;

for(;;)
{
// Wait for the interrupt event
result = WaitForSingleObject(hIntPar, INFINITE);
if (result != WAIT_OBJECT_0)
{
_tprintf(_T("ERROR: ThreadProc - WaitForSingleObject\n"));
}
else
{
_tprintf(_T("Interrupt Received from PRN Port\n"));
}
InterruptDone(SYSINTR_FIRMWARE + 7);
}

}

int _tmain(int argc, TCHAR *argv[], TCHAR *envp[])
{

DWORD dwThrdID;

_tprintf(_T("Starting...\n"));

OEMInterruptEnable(SYSINTR_FIRMWARE + 7, NULL, NULL);

if (InterruptInitialize(SYSINTR_FIRMWARE + 7, hIntPar, NULL,
NULL)) // Initialize IRQ 7 and map it to the hIntPar event
_tprintf(_T("Interrupt Initialized\n"));
else

_tprintf(_T("ERROR: Interrupt NOT initialized at first
attempt\n"));

InterruptDisable(SYSINTR_FIRMWARE + 7); // Try if this works

if (InterruptInitialize (SYSINTR_FIRMWARE + 7, hIntPar, NULL,
NULL))
_tprintf(_T("Interrupt Initialized at 2nd attempt\n"));
else {

_tprintf(_T("ERROR: Interrupt NOT initialized!\n"));
//CloseHandle(hIntPar); // kill the event handle
//TerminateThread(hThreadIST, 0); // kill the IST
//CloseHandle(hThreadIST);
return FALSE;
}

hIntPar = CreateEvent(NULL, FALSE, FALSE, TEXT("IntParEvent")); //
This Event is going to wakeup the IST when an interrupt occures

if (hIntPar == NULL)
{
_tprintf(_T("ERROR: CreateEvent\n"));
return FALSE;
}

hThreadIST = CreateThread(NULL, 0, (LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE) PAR_IST,
NULL, CREATE_SUSPENDED, (LPDWORD) &dwThrdID); // create the IST
if (hThreadIST == NULL)
{
_tprintf(_T("ERROR: CreateThread\n"));
CloseHandle(hIntPar); // kill the event handle
return FALSE;
}

CeSetThreadPriority(hThreadIST, 240); // Set thread
priority

ResumeThread(hThreadIST);// Start the IST

WritePortUchar((unsigned char *) (CONTROL), (INTE |
PORT_C_OUTPUT));
// Write 0 to data and status registers
// WRITE_PORT_UCHAR((unsigned char *) (LPTBase+1), 0);
// WRITE_PORT_UCHAR((unsigned char *) (LPTBase+2), 0x10); //
Enable
IRQ on ACK (bit 4 of status register)
while (getchar() != 'Q');
return 0;

return 0;
}

After running it on a x86 target, i get the error:

\> Subproject5.exe
Starting again and over agin...
ERROR: Interrupt NOT initialized at first attempt
ERROR: Interrupt NOT initialized!

In intr\init.c i also have:

OALIntrStaticTranslate(SYSINTR_FIRMWARE + 7, 7);

which already came pre-included.

any hints?

any kind of help would be really great

thanks

Rafael
