    PCI parallel port error

    Hi
    I have to change the internal parallel port with a PCI one. I install the new one and the drivers from it.The port looks ok, when i run lspci -v
    04:02.0 Parallel controller: SUNIX Co., Ltd. Device 1999 (prog-if 03)
    Subsystem: SUNIX Co., Ltd. Device 0100
    Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 18
    I/O ports at dce0 [size=8]
    I/O ports at dce8 [size=8]
    I/O ports at dcf0 [size=16]
    Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 3

    But when i start the EMC i take the message "Device or resource busy".
    I have spend several hours reading previous messages and the documentation without lack.

    What version of EMC are you using?
    I believe this means that linux is using the parallel port for something else.
    What config are you using to test with?

    Don't know about Linux but I had an issue with a PCI board in the fact that the address was EC00 and not the usual 378. This was a MOSChip board. Maybe this will help.

    Hi
    EMC version is 2.5.0-pre2

    This is part of my HAL file
    loadrt probe_parport
    loadrt hal_parport cfg="0xdce0"
    setp parport.0.reset-time 1000
    loadrt stepgen step_type=0,0,0,0

    addf parport.0.read base-thread
    addf stepgen.make-pulses base-thread
    addf parport.0.write base-thread
    addf parport.0.reset base-thread

    >What config are you using to test with?
    I am not sure what you mean, i change the address with stepconf and if EMC starts i will see if signal are there.

    Yes.
    The first two produce the error. The last one does not produce error but not working. there is no signal output. I use oscilloscope to measure it.
