Hi,

Can I implement mmap with an io port connected device on an x86 based CPU?

I'll just add one more bit of information which might effect the situation. The CPU I am using is an Elan SC520 microcontroller.

It seems that this CPU is able remap the General Purpose ports (IO ports) into the lower 1GB of memory space.

I will investigate.

If anyone knows anything about doing this, please speak up. This is a legacy CPU in our product range, and I don't have much experience with it.
