PCI(4)

NAME
pci - introduction to machine-independent PCI bus support and drivers

SYNOPSIS

pci* at ppb? bus ?

Other
pci attachments are machine-dependent and depend on the bus topology and PCI bus interface of your system. See intro(4) for your system for details.

INTRODUCTION
NetBSD includes a machine-independent PCI bus subsystem and several machine-independent PCI device drivers.

Your system may support additional PCI devices. Drivers for PCI devices not listed here are machine-dependent. Consult your system's intro(4) for additional information.

SUPPORTED DEVICES
NetBSD includes machine-independent PCI drivers, sorted by device type and driver name:

  SCSI interfaces

ahc Adaptec 29xx, 39xx, and other AIC-7xxx-based SCSI interfaces.

bha Buslogic BT-9xx SCSI interfaces.

isp QLogic ISP-1020, ISP-1040, and ISP-2100 SCSI and FibreChannel interfaces.

ncr Symbios Logic/NCR 53c8xx-family SCSI interfaces.

  Network interfaces

de  DEC DC21x4x (Tulip) based Ethernet interfaces, including the DE435, DE450, and DE500, and Znyx, SMC, Cogent/Adaptec, and Asante single- and multi-port Ethernet interfaces. Multi-port interfaces are typically configured as a PCI-PCI bridge with multiple de instances on the PCI bus on the other side of the bridge.

en  Midway-based Efficent Networks Inc. and Adaptec ATM interfaces.

ep  3Com 3c590, 3c595, 3c900, and 3c905 Ethernet interfaces.

fpa DEC DEFPA FDDI interfaces.

fxp Intel EtherExpress PRO 10+/100B Ethernet interfaces.

le  PCNet-PCI Ethernet interfaces.

ne  NE2000-compatible Ethernet interfaces.

tl  Texas Instruments ThunderLAN-based Ethernet interfaces.

  Serial interfaces

cy  Cyclades Cyclom-4Y, -8Y, and -16Y asynchronous serial communications device interface.

  Audio devices

eap Ensoniq AudioPCI sound device.

sv  S3 SonicVibes sound device.

  Miscellaneous devices

ohci
    USB OHCI host controller

pcic
    PCI PCMCIA controllers, including the Cirrus Logic GD6729.

ppb Generic PCI-PCI bridges, including PCI expansion backplanes.

puc PCI “universal” communications cards, containing com and lpt communications ports.

uhci
    USB UHCI host controller
