I have hacked together some code (nothing pretty) that allows
one to collect data off of an Analog Devices RTI-800/815 ADC/DAC board.
These are full length 8 bit cards that have multiple ADC input channels,
and multiple DAC outputs.
The code runs completely in user space without any kernel patches. These
cards also support more advanced features like interrupt generation
and DMA, but that would require the code to run in kernel space. At
present it uses polled PIO mode, and only uses the ADC as our
lab application doesn't require the DAC channels. (Note that adding
DAC support would be trivial, as these cards are super-simple to run.)
As I doubt that there will be a large interest in this sort of stuff,
I am not uploading it anywhere -- mail me if you are interested.
Paul.
