We currently have a PI (4D20) with Imaging Technologies IT-150
video processsing boards connected to the VME bus. I use some third
party software to access these boards but it is not enough.
My question is this -
How does one go about writing to the VME bus (in a C program)
to access the registers on these boards?
I have all the docs for the boards and I know what addresses
they occupy but I'm really not sure how to get to them and I don't
want to go mucking about the bus without knowing exactly what I'm doing.
Also, do I have to deal with interrupts? The boards can be
configured to issue interrupts or not, the interrupt line (1-7), and the
interrupt vector address.
Any hints, advice, or constructive comments is greatly appreciated.
