You don't read from a "device driver". You read from a "device". What you read

If you really need to go that route, with full access to 100% of the

drivers).

Thank you. I have already solved the problem to access serial ports, but

Holger,
The only way to use serial ports successfully to me, is to use the unit
serial on fpc, if I choose fpc to deal with serial ports. Another
problem results from misleading comments on the implemented procedures
and functions. As explained, seropen would return a zero, if a device
cannot

Accessing serial ports in linux could be as simple as to write/read
to/from /dev/ttySx . You don't need io ports. For a multiplatform
solution, use synapsis/synaser.
Sometimes it is useful to get more information about device drivers.

Under the bottom line, the result is just the same. You need to become
a superuser on a linux system, if you want to compile source code for
accessing ports directly, regardless of the compiler or any other tool.
All modern OS's have this restriction. Even on Windows, after
