cant figure out this PCI driver

Dec. 10, 2014

      Hi guys.

Im first going to explain why im doing this and what I want to achieve 
before giving the problem.
My main objective here is to gain access to a piece of shared memory. 
The memory is shared between an FPGA and a PCI chip called a PLX9054.
I have to work through the PCI chip to gain access to the RAM.The only 
way I know of In order to do that is to build a driver PCI for Linux 
(Lubuntu).

Now Ive looked at a couple of examples and I have taken one of the 
examples and changed it quite allot. It seems like I am attaching to the 
rite device because when I check the VendorId and DeviceID they seem to 
be the right ones.

For now im debugging in the .write() function just to see if Im heading 
in the right direction at least "Latching on to RAM".Im doing that 
because now I can see all my functions whenever I use " echo 'write' > 
pciproto " where pciproto is the DEVICE file in /dev/ .

But I am not having any luck though. Ive been reading through 
/linux/pci.h   ,  /source/driver/pci/pci.c   , /source/driver/dma/dma.c  
and allot of other source files and headers looking for something that 
can help me but what I have found doesn't seem to work. Ive tried DMA 
but checking DMA capability with pci_set_dma_mask() returned a FAIL as 
well as pci_request_region().

Im not quite sure what im suppose to use or to do to just be able to 
latch onto the piece of RAM.
If im going towards this all wrong please let me know and also let me 
know if theres any better way to do this.

Here is my CODE:

[CODE]

 1.
    /**
 2.
      * This program is an attempt to latch on to the FG memory that is
    shared with the FPGA
 3.
      * After a data sample has been taken the fg stores the data in
    this region.
 4.
      * This Driver will latch on to the DEV file named pciproto. For
    testing purposes the /dev/pciproto has to be
 5.
      *created manually in the /dev folder. The following command will
    create a DEV file with a maximum number of
 6.
      *250 and a minor number of 0: mknod pciproto c 250 0
 7.
      *
 8.
      * There are only 3 registers:
 9.
      * STATUS: addr = BAR2 + 0
10.
      *      unused for now
11.
      * READ_DATA: addr = BAR2 + 1
12.
      *      this register can only be read. Each time it's read, the device
13.
      *      read a byte from his input and return it.
14.
      * WRITE_DATA: addr = BAR2 + 2
15.
      *      this register can only be written. Each time it's written,
    the device
16.
      *      write the byte on his output.
17.
      *
