In our image processing work, we are trying to interface a frame
grabber to a National Semiconductor VR32 unix machine running on
System V R 2. In order to have very fast access to the frame store,
we intend to put the frame grabber in the physical memory map and
access the frame grabber through its PHYSICAL ADDRESS, so the question
is:
1) Can we access a physical address directly in UNIX without using a
device driver?
2) Can we have fast access to the frame grabber using other means?
PS. NS VR32 is a 2 users machines and using multibus and NS32016
processor.
