.Nm atrtc
|
|
.Nd AT Real-Time Clock (RTC) driver
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
This driver is a mandatory part of i386/amd64 kernels.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following tunables are settable from the
|
|
.Xr loader 8 :
|
|
.Bl -ohang
|
|
.It Va hint.atrtc. Ns Ar X Ns Va .clock
|
|
controls event timers functionality support.
|
|
Setting to 0, disables it.
|
|
Default value is 1.
|
|
.It Va hw.atrtc.enabled
|
|
Forces enabling or disabling of the device(s).
|
|
Setting to 0 disables it, setting to 1 enables it, bypassing any platform
|
|
configuration hints.
|
|
Default value is -1 (autodetect).
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
This driver uses RTC hardware to supply kernel with time-of-day clock
|
|
with 1 second resolution and one event timer.
|
|
This hardware uses base frequency of 32768Hz for advancing time-of-day clock
|
|
and generating periodic interrupts.
|
|
Interrupts could be generated with fixed number of frequencies, from 2Hz to
|
|
8192Hz, obtained by dividing base frequency by one of supported power-of-2
|
|
divisors.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Event timer provided by the driver is irrelevant to CPU power states.
