    If FNS stands for functions

    You van write a kernel module using some of the functions in <linux/pci.h>.

    Re: Read/Write fns in linux

    PROJECT :To write a generic device driver for pci device.

    I have detected the chip for which i hav to write the driver.It is a pci device(Plx 9054).
    I found out the address bars as well using the fns in pci.h

    I found fns for read/write in config area which is not what i want.
    I want to know if there are any fns in linux i can use to read/write in user mem space.(32-bit data to be read/written)

    Actually that is the task of the driver you want to implement no?
    The kernel module should be capable of interact with pci functions in kernel and send back and forth to user space in order to be useful to some user space program. You can do this by implementing :

    ioctl's in kernel modules :

    proc file inkernel modules:

    http://www.tldp.org/LDP/lkmpg/2.6/html/c740.htm#AEN742

    Implementing your own syscalls (Not recomended):

    Some help needed

    Hi, I am new to the world of linux and right now I have been asked to write a device driver for a Multi-port PCI card on linux. I have just managed to identify the device and assign(block) some memory for this device. I wanted help regarding what other functions can be implemented for a Multi-Port Serial PCI card and any hints on how to go about doing them.
    Any help is welcome.
