Subject:   Do I have to use a driver to access a PCI card ?

Hello,

Do I necessarily have to use a driver module to access the registers in
a PCI card from an application, or this can be done directly from the
app, possibly only configuring the correct permissions and other
parameters at the OS level ? In case the answer is positive, where can I
get a tutorial or related info on how to do it ?

Note: my app will only be reading readily available data from the card's
registers. No writes, except for initialization.

Thanks in advance for your comments.
Marcus.
