Thanks Charles.
First of all, I managed to get it working today,
(mmapping /dev/mem) so it is possible ;)
Secondly, I am using the GPIO ports for our own custom
design, so I am not exposing /dev/mem to all kinds
of nasty userland apps.
Gilad.

Hi Gilad,
I'd be really surprised if it's possible. I think that those addresses are
beyond the valid physical address range for the mem driver. Even if it did
work I personally wouldn't feel comfortable doing that sort of thing. You
could inadvertently cause a lot of nasty things to happen. Maybe someone
else has a different (better) opinion.
If you do use my driver I uploaded the wrong header file yesterday. I've
now uploaded the correct one.
Cheers,
Charles

Thank you for the driver, I'm using it as a reference.
Still, I am trying to acccess the GPIO ports of the Au1500
using /dev/mem, but I keep getting these odd values
(see previous messages to this list)
Do you think it is possible, or should I stick to using the driver?
Thank you,
Gilad.

Hi Gilad,
A little while ago I wrote my own GPIO driver for
the Au1000, mainly as a learning experience. I never bothered to
release it because a driver already exists and I thought it was
working.
It was, a long time ago, when it was written for the
Au1000. I had a user app and doc somewhere but can't
find it anymore. The driver didn't support gpio2 and
was, in general, stale. So perhaps your driver will
help Gilad.

I'm not sure if it will work on the Au1550, but if you're interested
you can
find the source code here:
