[avr-gcc-list] programming your atmels under linux?

[ChristoGeo]

Does anyone have source code to demonstrate using the parallel port under 
Linux?  Also, serial port code would be nice.

I normally use the parallel port in EPP mode to up/down byte-wide packets 
to devices I build.  Also, I use the serial port.  The problem is I need 
direct access to the ports and not the /dev/xxx type access.

Any direction, example, or help is greatly appriciated!
Also, if anyone knows how to properly check if a keystroke was pressed in C 
for Linux would be kewl too!

Chris
