[Emc-developers] Calling INT 15 from a comp?

[andy p. <bod...@gm...>]

Someone on the forum is trying to write a driver for some onboard GPIO
that needs to be enabled via an INT 15. The sample assembler is:

MOV AX, 6F08H        Sets the digital port as input
INT 15H                     Initiates the INT 15H

Is it reasonable/legitimate to do this with inline assembler in a .comp file?

Having never tried to use inline assembler, what would it look like? I
guess we need to put ax back to where it was afterwards?

Is there  a linux system call to achieve the same result?

If you can't fix it, you don't own it.
