pci programming

I have to write a programme for a pci device under Linux.
are there any good tutorials/website for learning basic things?
-thanks-

Do you mean that you want to write a piece of software to install and use a PCI device that the system doesn't previously know or rather just use a PCI device that is already in a system such as a sound card or modem?

Look here http://www.fpga4fun.com/PCI6.html to create your own driver.

i want to use that PCI device for a different purpose in my application. (modem).

OK. What type of application are you thinking of? What do you want the modem to do?

i have to connect with other pc through the PSTN line and i have to exchange the data.

(if i want to connect then i have to dial that pstn no, so in the destination i have to detect that signals and after verifying i have to allow them to exchange data.)

i am writing this module for a management application because some peoples don't have internet connection (so i can't do anything with network programming.) and i have to give this kind of solutions.

You could do worse than take a look at the source code for a piece of modem software such as minicom http://linux.about.com/od/commands/l...l1_minicom.htm to give you ideas. (That's the beauty of the open source community!)

There's also some useful tips at http://linux.about.com/od/mdm_howto/a/hwtmdm07t03.htm

thank you very much.

your previous links also (fedora) very useful for getting basic ideas.

and i got a Linux device drivers 3rd edition and i am refereeing that book also.

and i will download that source code and i will analyse.

thanks again.

To help you quickly make a Linux driver, use WinDriver from Jungo.
