It suggests accessing the PCI registers using Newbus (Chapter 7). Newbus hides away direct reading/writing to the BAR's, and therefore, Newbus is useless in the given respect. > > Again, I need the exact PCI Base Address Registers directly mapped into user space, so that I can do in my user space measurement controller something like the following: > > user_space_BAR[0 + funcOffset] &= 0x03; Can't you mmap /dev/mem? Sorry for being naive, I have not done this before. -Alfred
