I find this C code with inline assembler code:
ReadFromCMOS (unsigned char array [])
{
unsigned char tvalue, index;
for(index = 0; index < 128; index++)
{
_asm
{
cli /* Disable interrupts*/
mov al, index /* Move index address*/
/* since the 0x80 bit of al is not set, NMI is active */
out 0x70,al /* Copy address to CMOS register*/
/* some kind of real delay here is probably best */
in al,0x71 /* Fetch 1 byte to al*/
sti /* Enable interrupts*/
mov tvalue,al
}
array[index] = tvalue;
}
}
WriteTOCMOS(unsigned char array[])
{
unsigned char index;
for(index = 0; index < 128; index++)
{
unsigned char tvalue = array[index];
_asm
{
cli /* Clear interrupts*/
mov al,index /* move index address*/
out 0x70,al /* copy address to CMOS register*/
/* some kind of real delay here is probably best */
mov al,tvalue /* move value to al*/
out 0x71,al /* write 1 byte to CMOS*/
sti /* Enable interrupts*/
}
}
}
I tried to translate to GNU inline assembler, but I failed, mostly because GNU inline asm is messy, uses the archaic AT&T syntax and is difficult to use.
Code that gives me error:
void read_cmos(unsigned char array[])
{
unsigned char tvalue, index;
for (index = 0; index < 128; ++index)
{
/* read from CMOS */
asm ("cli; outb %1, $0x70; inb $0x71, %0; sti" : "=a"(tvalue) : "a"(index));
}
array[index] = tvalue;
}
