|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Cd "device genclock"
|
|
.Cd "device mk48txx"
|
|
.Cd "device eeprom"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver is a front-end for the machine-independent
|
|
.Tn Mostek
|
|
MK48Txx driver.
|
|
The
|
|
.Tn Mostek
|
|
MK48Txx driver provides access to the real time clock part of the chips it
|
|
supports to
|
|
.Fx
|
|
by interfacing with the generic clock code.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Tn Mostek
|
|
MK48Txx chips are found on the
|
|
.Tn EBus ,
|
|
.Tn FireHose
|
|
and
|
|
.Tn SBus
|
|
busses of
|
|
.Tn UltraSPARC
|
|
systems.
|
|
On systems where the hostid is stored in the NVRAM part of the Mostek MK48Txx
|
|
chip the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver prints out the hostid on attach.
|
|
.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
The following driver specific error message may be reported:
|
|
.Bl -diag
|
|
.It "mk48txx_attach: battery low"
|
|
The device signals that its battery is low and should be replaced.
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver refused to attach the device in this case as the time in the real time
|
|
clock is probably invalid.
|
|
This gives the generic clock code the chance to use another device as the
|
|
system real time clock that otherwise would not have been chosen.
