如何使用并口

如何使用并口不是Gambas的问题,而是Linux内核的问题。

内核防止任何程序干像直接访问硬件这样的坏事。 作为替代,必须使用在内核控制下允许用户访问硬件的 设备 ,也就是位于 /dev 目录下的专用文件,

可以通过使用类似 /dev/lp0 ... /dev/lpN 这样的设备文件访问并口。 但是,如果需要更多的操作,例如想写x86输入/输出端口,应该使用名为 /dev/port 的设备文件。

更多的说明如下:

章节2.2这样说:

2.2 An alternate method: /dev/port

Another way to access I/O ports is to open() /dev/port (a character device,
major number 1, minor 4) for reading and/or writing (the stdio f*() functions
have internal buffering, so avoid them). Then lseek() to the appropriate byte
in the file (file position 0 = port 0x00, file position 1 = port 0x01, and so
on), and read() or write() a byte or word from or to it.

Naturally, for this to work your program needs read/write access to /dev/port.
This method is probably slower than the normal method above, but does not
need compiler optimisation nor ioperm(). It doesn't need root access either,
if you give a non-root user or group access to /dev/port --- but this is a
very bad thing to do in terms of system security, since it is possible to
hurt the system, perhaps even gain root access, by using /dev/port to access
hard disks, network cards, etc. directly.

You cannot use select(2) or poll(2) to read /dev/port, because the hardware
does not have a facility for notifying the CPU when a value in an input port
changes.

所以,作为root,可以按上面说明做:用OPEN打开 /dev/port 并且在指定位置读/写。

示例

Dim hPort As File
Dim iPortNumber As Integer
Dim iValue as Byte

' 发送42到端口1
iPortNumber = 1
iValue = 42

hPort = Open "/dev/port" For Read Write
Seek #hPort, iPortNumber
Write #hPort, iValue
...

这是基于名为 'parapin' 的C库的另一个解决办法。更多信息见http://parapin.sourceforge.net/
