I'm trying to find the base (memory) address of a parallel port I have connected to my laptop via a PCI express card. Running lspci -v
shows that my computer recognizes the parallel port and gives the I/O ports (1000 and 1008) but not the memory address (other entries have both ports and memory locations…this card is the only entry without a memory address). Also, when I look in /proc/ioports
I get the same ports given in lspci. However, when I try to use either of those addresses in the program I'm running (EMC2 to control stepper motors), it does not find a parallel port at that address.
What would be really great is if there were an analogue to the Windows Device Manager -> Ports -> Resources. Is there any way to do this in Ubuntu? Is there a standard memory location for PCIe devices?
Edit:
The output from lspci -v

And for reference, another entry that shows the memory location:

Try cat /proc/ioports | grep parport
to filter the output of ioports.
