Hmm...cvt tool doesn't help get an X display on the built-in LCD or external VGA....

Guess some DSO hookup to the VGA signals and calculate the ModeLine values by hand...well if the LCD and VGA signals share the same timing...

/dev/mem will do that. Something like:

int fd = open("/dev/mem",O_RDWR|O_SYNC);
unsigned char* RxTxMem1 = (unsigned char *) mmap(0, getpagesize(), PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0x000D4000);
unsigned char* RxTxMem2 = (unsigned char *) mmap(0, getpagesize(), PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0x000D5000);

Also, accessing I/O ports from user space is pretty simple:

#include <sys/io.h>
//...
ioperm(0x0100, 0x10, 1);
ioperm(0x0140, 0x30, 1);
//...
uint8_t val8 = inb(0x100); // 8-bit wide read
uint16_t val16 = inw(0x100); // 16-bit wide read
uint32_t val32 = inl(0x100); // 32-bit wide read
outb(val8, 0x100); // 8-bit wide write
outw(val16, 0x100); // 16-bit wide write
outl(val32, 0x100); // 32-bit wide write

Dealing with interrupts from userspace is not as simple. But, writing a very simple driver that can block a userspace process that does a read (or ioctl) on a special file until the interrupt fires isn't that hard. I did it once years ago. The "Linux Device Drivers" O'Reily book is a pretty good resource for these things.

Ah nice...

Long time I wrote kernel drivers...back then in good old 2.0.x/2.4.x times with uClinux and a few MBytes RAM (o;

My idea was to see whether we can run the dos apps in linux....
and even better if we can record the traffic between the application and the hardware...

Ciao

Never used "dosbox" nor "dosemu"....and if they support some sort of "hardware hooks"...
