RE: Problem about writing IO device driver


should I associate the handle with the register address I wish to write to
or read from before calling the cyg_io_read() or cyg_io_write()? how this
can be achieved?
Thanks a lot!

You should associate the register address with the handle of each device,
the handle in turn corresponding to the DEVTAB_ENTRY.
