.Dt BCM283X_PWM 4
.Os
.Sh NAME
.Nm bcm283x_pwm
.Nd bcm283x_pwm - driver for Raspberry Pi 2/3 PWM
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Cd "kldload bcm283x_clkman"
.Cd "kldload bcm283x_pwm"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
driver provides access to the PWM engine on GPIO12 of Rpi 2 and 3 hardware.
.Pp
The PWM hardware is controlled via the
.Xr sysctl 8
interface:
.Bd -literal
dev.pwm.0.mode: 1
dev.pwm.0.freq: 125000000
dev.pwm.0.ratio: 2500
dev.pwm.0.period: 10000
dev.pwm.0.pwm_freq: 12500
.Ed
.Bl -tag -width ".Va dev.pwm.0.mode"
.It Va dev.pwm.0.mode
Three modes exist, 0=off, 1=PWM, 2=N/M.
The N/M mode is a first order delta-sigma mode, which makes a quite
handy DAC output with a trivial RC lowpass filter.
.Pp
.It Va dev.pwm.0.freq
The input frequency to the PWM hardware in Hz.
Minmum frequency is 123 kHz, maximum frequency is 125 MHz.
.It Va dev.pwm.0.period
The period length in cycles.
In PWM mode, the output frequency will be
(
.Va dev.pwm.0.freq
/
.Va dev.pwm.0.period .
)
In N/M mode this is the 'M'
.It Va dev.pwm.0.ratio
The "on" period in cycles.
In PWM mode, to get a 25% dutycycle, set this to 25% of
.Va dev.pwm.0.period .
In N/M mode this is the 'N'
.It Va dev.pwm.0.pwm_freq
The calculated PWM output frequency in PWM mode.
.El
.Pp
.Sh NOTES
Currently the
.Nm
driver ignores the 'status="disabled"' flag in the DTB, assuming that
if you load the driver, you want it to work.
.Sh SEE ALSO
.Xr sysctl 8
.Sh HISTORY
The
.Nm
driver first appeared in
.Fx 12.0 .
