Hi all
What would be the best way to access some hardware ports with respect to security, ease and any other TC related advantages/disadvantages?
The options I was thinking of are:
1) Use a script (for example to send something on the serial port) like echo -n "SomeData" > /dev/ttyS0
2) Access the hardware registers directly by way of a C pgm using outb
3) Some hardware also maps to sections in /dev/mem so could directly read/write to it
4) Use IOCTL
Any comments very welcome.
TIA.
