[BOTOKILLER]

for whole week im trying to find out how to access this damn PCI IDE configuration space and PCI devices ....
help me with links, preferable with assembler example
Please help me with this stuff

Well, you cannot mean this Wiki page: PCI, since there's no C++ on it and it gives the I/O ports necessary, so I suggest you start there.

Three hints, if I may:

• Use expressive thread titles.
• Don't use colored text. People use different skins on this forum, and might or might not be able to read your text.
• Telling people what not to tell you is bad style, especially when you're making a fool of yourself like in this case...

I think at least the former two are in the forum rules somewhere...

You were banned for 2 weeks for posting drivel.

I do hope this is not the start of it again?

all right ill change post, but still i didnt find IO ports on this page

[NickJohnson]

Two 32-bit I/O locations are used, the first location (0xCF8) is named CONFIG_ADDRESS, and the second (0xCFC) is called CONFIG_DATA.

thank you) ill try)) i hope it will help


one question: CONFIG_ADDRESS - used to define device wich have to be accessed and what is CONFIG_DATA for?

[Solar]

Did you bother to read the page? I've never programmed port I/O in my life, and found the instructions on that page to be more than sufficient. (Or I wouldn't have linked it for you.)

i am newbie, i just learn

[Combuster]

Did you know that learning is a process that is to be performed by the person attempting to gain knowledge, and not the person that already has the knowledge? To the observer, both laziness and genuine stupidity lead to the same symptoms: decide for yourself which one is the case. Also, meeting the banhammer here won't stop you from getting into trouble elsewhere.

Actually, I am trying to help you, before you hurt yourself... Or Combuster finds this thread.

what do I have to do to stop annoying you???

what do I have to do to stop annoying you???

The forum rules are a good place to start. Do follow the links in item 3) and 4).

Looking for "PCI" in the Wiki ("Got a question? Search this first!") would have given you the page I linked for you. Actually reading it carefully would have answered your questions (I/O port numbers, and what CONFIG_DATA is for). It's a lot of text and doesn't come pre-chewed, but that's OS development for you.

"i am newbie" is not really an excuse for this, rather an indication that OS development is not (yet) for you. (See required knowledge.)

So...

what do I have to do to stop annoying you???

...prove us wrong. Show us that you do meet the requirements of experience and autonomy, so we don't have to read our own Wiki pages for you.
