.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm bcma
|
|
.Nd Broadcom AMBA Backplane driver
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
To compile this driver into the kernel, add the following lines to the
|
|
kernel configuration file:
|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
|
|
.Cd "device bhnd"
|
|
.Cd "device bcma"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To load the driver as a module at boot, add this line to
|
|
.Xr loader.conf 5 :
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
bcma_load="YES"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver provides
|
|
.Xr bhnd 4
|
|
support for devices using the ARM AMBA-based backplane architecture found
|
|
in later Broadcom Home Networking Division's network chipsets and embedded
|
|
systems.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A common interconnect connects all of the backplane's functional
|
|
blocks.
|
|
These functional blocks, known as cores, use the ARM AMBA AXI or
|
|
APB interface to communicate with devices attached to the interconnect.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The IP cores used in
|
|
.Xr siba 4
|
|
devices were adapted by Broadcom for compatibility with the new
|
|
interconnect.
