DMA & Interrupt Problems...

Well,

i ask this question, because i'm confused.

basicly under linux, there a two type of "programs".

1) a normal application: a normal application doesn't access the hardware directly or uses kernel functions. it will use a driver -> system calls (program runs in user-space).

if try to access kernel functions from an application i don't know. you might have to trick a lot.

you can try to register the interrupt manually without linux (study the altera hal sources).

2) a kernel module ("driver") gets direct access to the hardware and can use kernel function, so i was thinking you are going to write a driver...
