Unfortunately this is not a simple thing to do.
The "correct" way to give access to the CR/CSR address space is to
modify your BSP to configure a VME Master window which addresses it.
There was a conversation about doing this on tech-talk recently:
http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/tech-talk/2016/msg00051.php
However Eric's presentation was about the MVME6100 board which has a
Tundra TSI-148 chip for its VME interface. Your MVME5500 board uses the
Universe-2 chip, so Eric's code won't work for you, but I have made
equivalent changes to the MVME5100 board which we use here at the APS,
and I can publish my changes on tech-talk if you want to see them. You
won't be able to apply them directly to the mv5500 BSP since the board's
memory map is different, but the two are close enough that most of the
code should be the same.
There is a simpler way to get access to that space, which involves
temporarily changing the mapping of the VME A24 Master window to access
CR/CSR space, doing what you need and then changing the window back to
access A24 space. I would only suggest using this on a system where you
only need to access that space for a very short period of time and you
know that no other VME drivers could be handling interrupts or trying to
access hardware in the VME A24 space at the time you have the window
re-mapped. Typically that means that you would only need to do this once
to configure some registers on the peripheral board, and that you can do
that configuration before any other board gets fully initialized.
Let me know which of those two options you prefer.
