operating system - what is the difference between memory mapped io and io mapped io -
pls explain difference between memory mapped io , io mapped io
on x86 there 2 different address spaces, 1 memory, , 1 i/o ports.
the port address space limited 65536 ports, , accessed using in/out instructions.
as example, video card's vga functionality can accessed using i/o ports, framebuffer memory-mapped.
other cpu architectures have 1 address space. in architectures, devices memory-mapped.
