<title>EBus Hardware</title>
|

|
|
|

|
|
<para>The EBus is specific to Sun hardware, so drivers need to
|
||
|
|
have support added to work with these devices. It is quite
|
||
|
|
similar to ISA, so that ISA drivers can usually be easily
|
||
|
|
ported, provided that they use the bus space interface, and not
|
||
|
|
in[bwl]/out[bwl] and related functions. DMA is not yet
|
||
|
|
supported.</para>
