Parallel port chipset driver
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Cd "controller ppc0 at isa? port? tty irq 7"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For one or more PPBUS busses:
|
|
.Cd "controller ppbus at ppc0"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Em ppc
|
|
driver provides low level support to various parallel port chipsets for the
|
|
.Xr ppbus 4
|
|
system.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
During the probe phasis, ppc detects parallel port chipsets and initialize
|
|
private data according to their operating mode: COMPATIBLE,
|
|
NIBBLE, PS/2, EPP, ECP and other mixed modes. If a mode is provided at startup
|
|
throw the flags variable of the boot interface, the operating mode of the
|
|
chipset is forced according to 'flags' and its available modes.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
During attach phasis, ppc allocates a ppbus structure, initializes it and
|
|
calls ppbus attach function.
|
|

|
|

.Ss Supported chipsets
|
|
Some parallel port chipsets are explicitly supported by ppc: detection and
|
|
initialisation code has been written according to specs datasheets.

.Ss Adding support to a new chipset
|
|
You may want to add support for the newest chipset your last motherboard was
|
|
sold with? For the ISA bus, just retrieve the specs of the chipset and
|
|
write the corresponding
|
|
.Fn ppc_mychipset_detect ""
|
|
function.
|
|
Then add an entry to the general purpose
|
|
.Fn ppc_detect ""
|
|
function.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Your
|
|
.Fn ppc_mychipset_detect ""
|
|
function should ensure that: if the mode field of the
|
|
.Va flags
|
|
boot variable is not null, then the operating
|
|
mode is forced to the given mode and no other mode is available and
|
|
ppb->ppb_avm field contains the available modes of the chipset
|
|

|
.Xr ppbus 4
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The chipset detection process may corrupt your chipset configuration. You may
|
|
disable chipset specific detection by using the above flags.
