Hi MJ,

Thanks for the reply.
I tried memory mapping but it fails, here is my code :

#include <linux/module.h>
#include <linux/errno.h>    /* error codes */
#include <linux/mm.h>

void __iomem *ioaddr = NULL;

static __init int sample_module_init(void)
{
    ioaddr = ioremap(0xFF400C00, 0x24);
    if(ioaddr == NULL) {
        printk(KERN_WARNING "ioremap failed\n");
    }
    printk(KERN_WARNING "ioremap successed\n");
    printk(KERN_WARNING "GP1DIR = %u\n", ioread32(ioaddr));
    return 0;
}

static __exit void sample_module_exit(void)
{
    iounmap(ioaddr);
}

MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");
module_init(sample_module_init);
module_exit(sample_module_exit);

As per the MPC8377ERDB data sheet default IMMRBAR address is 0xFF40_0000 and
offset of GPIO1 is 0C00 and each GPIO has programmable registers that occupy
24 bytes of memory-mapped space, so I mapped from 24bytes (0x18) starting
from 0xFF40_0C00 address. But when I tried to read the values from the
mapped memory I get the following errors. Is there something I am missing.
Any help with reference to MPC8377ERDB board will be highly appreciable.
