DOS开发编程 & 发展交流（开发室） » How to access a 32-bit address space under DOS?

I've recently been making a PCI card, and the BIOS maps it to a space with Baseaddress 40400000. How can I access (read/write) this block of memory under DOS? I'm using BC31, what should I do? Experts, save me!

I don't really understand it, let's wait for wengier to have a look. Just helping you bump the thread.

About this, it's best to use assembly for addressing. Using BC may not be very convenient, though I haven't used it either.

Let me ask, what exactly does assembly mean??

Many thanks to all the seniors, please hurry and teach me a few tricks, I'm almost going crazy from the urgency.

In real mode, it's impossible to access that address space. Under bc31, it seems there should also be some kind of 32-bit dpmi host or something similar, so that the program runs in 32-bit protected mode; then the memory address mapping is in flat mode. Just directly define a far pointer pointing to that address, and you can access it. I've done it under watcom c+dos4g/w, but under bc I'm not sure.

I've run into exactly the same problem too. I don't know whether you got your problem solved or not. If you did, could you tell me? If not, we can discuss it together. My email is [email protected]

You can first turn off GATE A20, then call 1M less memory, but at most you can only access 4G

Its linear address is 40400000 >> 12 + 0000 = 40400, which is within 1M, so real mode can access it completely.
