MDE8255LPT-1 Linux 8255 Driver Implimentation

Created by: Travis Sidelinger

I reverse engineered the DLL provided with our MDE 8255 lab trainer and created a shared library for Linux. This library is fully compatible with the original C header file.

Hardware Model: MDE8255LPT-1

Vender Web Site: http://www.microdigitaled.com/hardware_lpt_html.html

Source Code:

Test Programs:

Todo:

  • mdedriverdll.c needs re-writen using the parport driver and libieee1284.so. I am in progress, but currently stuck.
  • Create RPM package
  • More testing

Notes:

  • I was getting mixed results while reading from port A. The chip suppling A seemed a little hot. The results from A continuously fluxuated.
  • Root access is required until I can get the parport driver working.
