The classic in digital I/O. The 8255 appears in Comedi as a single
digital I/O subdevice with 24 channels. The channel 0 corresponds
that has an 8255 chip. For multifunction boards, the main driver will
configure the 8255 subdevice automatically.
-This driver also works independently with ISA cards that directly
-map the 8255 registers to I/O ports, including cards with multiple
-8255 chips. To configure the driver for such a card, the option
-list should be a list of the I/O port bases for each of the 8255
-chips. For example,

+Note that most PCI 8255 boards do NOT work with this driver, and
+need a separate driver as a wrapper. For those that do work, the
+I/O port base address can be found in the output of 'lspci -v'.

+The PC36AT ISA board and PCI236 PCI board have a single 8255 appearing
+as subdevice 0.
+
+Subdevice 1 pretends to be a digital input device, but it always returns
+0 when read. However, if you run a command with scan_begin_src=TRIG_EXT,
+a rising edge on port C bit 7 acts as an external trigger, which can be
+used to wake up tasks. This is like the comedi_parport device, but the
+only way to physically disable the interrupt on the PC36AT is to remove
+the IRQ jumper. If no interrupt is connected, then subdevice 1 is
+unused.

+Driver: cb_pcimdda.o
+Description: A driver for this relatively new and uniquely designed board
+Devices: [Computer Boards] PCIM-DDA06-16 (pcimdda06-16)
+Author: Calin Culianu <calin@ajvar.org>
+Updated: Thu, 20 Jun 2002 16:19:41 -0500
+Status: works
+
+All features of the PCIM-DDA06-16 board are supported. This board
+has 6 16-bit AO channels, and the usual 8255 DIO setup. (24 channels,
+configurable in banks of 8 and 4, etc.). This board does not support commands.
+
+The board has a peculiar way of specifying AO gain/range settings -- You have
+1 jumper bank on the card, which either makes all 6 AO channels either
+5 Volt unipolar, 5V bipolar, 10 Volt unipolar or 10V bipolar.
+
+Since there is absolutely _no_ way to tell in software how this jumper is set
+(well, at least according to the rather thin spec. from Measurement Computing
+ that comes with the board), the driver assumes the jumper is at its factory
+default setting of +/-5V.
+
+Also of note is the fact that this board features another jumper, whose
+state is also completely invisible to software. It toggles two possible AO
+output modes on the board:
+
+ - Update Mode: Writing to an AO channel instantaneously updates the actual
+ signal output by the DAC on the board (this is the factory default).
+ - Simultaneous XFER Mode: Writing to an AO channel has no effect until
+ you read from any one of the AO channels. This is useful for loading
+ all 6 AO values, and then reading from any one of the AO channels on the
+ device to instantly update all 6 AO values in unison. Useful for some
+ control apps, I would assume? If your jumper is in this setting, then you
+ need to issue your comedi_data_write()s to load all the values you want,
+ then issue one comedi_data_read() on any channel on the AO subdevice
+ to initiate the simultaneous XFER.
+
+
+Configuration Options:
+ Just tell comedi_config that you want to use the cb_pcimdda driver as so:
+
+ comedi_config /dev/comedi0 cb_pcimdda

Driver: comedi_parport.o
Description: Standard PC parallel port
Author: ds
Notes:
-Subdevices 0 and 2 are digital output, subdevice 1 is digital
-input. I know that it is possible to change this with ECP/EPP
-parallel ports, but this driver is a cheap hack.
+Subdevices 0 is digital I/O, subdevice 1 is digital input, and
+subdevice 2 is digital output. Unlike other Comedi devices,
+subdevice 0 defaults to output.
Pins 13 and 14 are inverted once by Comedi and once by the
hardware, thus cancelling the effect.
Subdevice 3 pretends to be a digital input subdevice, but it always
returns 0 when read. However, if you run a command with
-scan_begin_src=TRIG_EXT, it uses pin 13 as a external triggering
-pin, which can be used to wake up tasks. (or is that pin 10. --ds)
+scan_begin_src=TRIG_EXT, it uses pin 10 as a external triggering
+pin, which can be used to wake up tasks.
