This is the way I do it:
/* get the address */
laddr=addr=strtoul(argv[n],&chptr,0);
/* map the memory */
/* note map routine changes addr to base_addr */
if ((slctr=map(&addr,size))==-1) printf("failed\n");
laddr-=addr;
/* read the data */
_farpeekb(slctr,laddr);printf("0x%02x\n",data);
And here is the map routine:
/* map physical memory */
u_int map(u_int* addr, u_int size)
{
__dpmi_meminfo mi;
int selector;
u_int mapsize;
if (*addr < 0x100000)
{
if (*addr+size <= 0x100000)
{
*addr=0;
return _dos_ds;
}
else
{
printf("address + size crosses DOS 0x100000 boundry - exiting\n");
return -1;
}
}
mapsize=0x400;
while ((size+(*addr&(mapsize-1)))>mapsize)
mapsize<<=1;
*addr &=~(mapsize-1);
/*printf("mapped addr = 0x%08x, mapped size = 0x%08x\n",*addr,mapsize);*/
mi.handle = 0; /* what should it be? */
mi.address = *addr;
mi.size = mapsize;
if (__dpmi_physical_address_mapping(&mi))
{
printf ("__dpmi_physical_address_mapping failed\n");
return -1;
}
selector = __dpmi_allocate_ldt_descriptors(1);
if (selector == -1)
{
printf ("__dpmi_allocate_ldt_descriptors failed\n");
return -1;
}
if(__dpmi_set_segment_base_address(selector,mi.address))
{
printf ("__dpmi_set_segment_base_address failed\n");
return -1;
}
if(__dpmi_set_segment_limit(selector,mi.size-1))
{
printf ("__dpmi_set_segment_limit failed\n");
return -1;
}
return selector;
}
I have a cool little program that can R/W any memory or IO location, as
well as PCI config registers and probing the PCI bus. It used to be on
the company web site, but with the new corporate it is gone now, but I
can still send it to whoever wants it. It only works with DOS, Windows
<= W98 (NOT NT,2K,XP,etc), Unix and VxWorks (separate compile versions).
Program name is Peritool.
