You should not use MmMapIoSpace on a translated Port resource, only on a
translated Memory resource.

Subject: [ntdev] Port Mapping in Device Drivers
Hello Everybody,
I had a small query regarding the port resources allocated by the pnp
manager which are accessed in the startdevice routine of the driver.
I have been trying to map the translated port resources allocated by the
pnp manager for our driver as follows:
“DeviceExtension->PortMappedSpace.MappedAddress = (PULONG)
MmMapIoSpace(resourceTrans->u.Port.Start, resourceTrans->u.Port.Length,
MmNonCached);”
I found that there seems to be something going wrong for which I am
unable to read the register values correctly. As per the hardware specs, I
am attempting to read the register values as DWORDs as:
“RegValue = READ_PORT_ULONG((PULONG)
DeviceExtension->PortMappedSpace.MappedAddress);”
A write to the mapped locations keeps in the value there and I am able
to read the values correctly after performing the write but I am unable to
see the default values of the register after system power up.
Is it compulsory that we require doing the mapping of the port resources
by using the API ‘MmIoSpace’? We are doing our development for an x86
system. I tried out by trying to read directly from the port pointers
provided in the translated resources without performing any mapping for the
port resources as below:
“RegValue = READ_PORT_ULONG((PULONG)
((PVOID)(ULONG_PTR)resourceTrans->u.Port.Start.QuadPart));”
but still the same results.
Can anyone suggest what can be the problem here for this behavior?
Anything missing that needs to be done or anything going wrong somewhere?
Thanking you.
With Regards,
Monisha.
