Darn. I've once seen an example somewhere on the net on controlling an
output pin on the EP405 (from kernel space), but I can't remember where
:(

Now I know that the difference between user and kernel space is so
different, I'll only try to go for the final result: a kernel module.

What is ESP?

I'm afraid I should go for the last one. The D-science lab is actually
specialized in usability and product design testing. There is only one
technological project running, namely mine, which is about embedded
Linux. I started working on this project when I was just about half a
year graduated as industrial engineer. So my Linux knowledge was limited
to desktop use and installation.
You'll probably think I'm asking things that every embedded Linux
developer knows, but I'm not one, I'm just trying to understand
everything. Aside that, my platform knowledge is zero. That's why I come
up with code for x86 to run on PPC ;)

PS: that "base" address was fetched from ibm405gp.h (the ECB base
address).
