I wrote a basic device support for comedi devices. Since A/D was all I needed
(and could test) at the time, so far it supports only ai records. To sample
channel #4 on comedi device #0 subdevice #0 and average over 1000 samples in
one sweep, you'd have something like
record (ai, "RECNAME")
{
field(DTYP, "comedi")
field(INP, "@D0 S0 C4 A1000")
}
in your database. In production use here since ~1 year.

If you want I can dig up what I have and send it to you. Didn't take my time
to cleanse the code and publish it so far. Unfortunately I won't have too
much spare time to spend on a better comedi device support in the next few
months.

To make it generally useful, we'd have to add support for at least ao and
bi/o. If we'd add a comedi record that you could use to configure (analog
range selection, analog reference selection, calibration via internal
dacs, ...) any comedi device from EPICS, I think it would start being used in
linux SoftIOCs.
Hope this helps,
