Awesome, and welcome.

RTEMS is a single address space, consider it a single process. The MMU 
is normally configured to map 1:1 physical addresses to virtual 
addresses. All you need to do is make sure the address range you want to 
access is mapped by the MMU. Once mapped you can access the address 
space via a normal pointer.

You need to first determine the 32bit pointer to the address of your 
device. For example the video driver for the PC BSP sets the video 
memory address here:

https://git.rtems.org/rtems/tree/c/src/lib/libbsp/i386/pc386/console/outch.c#n292

and the address is defined here:

https://git.rtems.org/rtems/tree/c/src/lib/libbsp/i386/pc386/include/crt.h#n26

I am not sure how the address space for your PC/104 device maps so I 
hope this example provides some hints. I also do not know if the MMU is 
set up to cover the whole ISA bus address space. I think it is best to 
try and see.
