There is a proposed set of methods in the http://git.rtems.org/multiio/
package. It has been used on a few projects and the API is growing
organically. Functionality is not being added unless there is a project
requiring it and we can define a solution.  But for Discrete I/O, I know
there is board independent infrastructure to support waiting for
a pin state change interrupt forever or with timeout. You can poll
discrete in, ADCs, or write DACs.

It includes drivers for a couple of PC-104 multi I/O boards. I am interested
in seeing more feedback so we can have more confidence that it is
offering the right services.

Sebastian is completely correct in that the numbering of discrete I/O
pins, DAC, and ADCs is arbitrary. But if RTEMS provides a standard API
for these capabilities, then you can hide the pin numbers with macros.
