39.Sh NAME
40.Nm intro
41.Nd introduction to hpcarm special files and hardware support
42.Sh DESCRIPTION
43This section describes the special files, related driver functions,
44and networking support
45available in the system.
46In this part of the manual, the
47.Tn SYNOPSIS
48section of
49each configurable device gives a sample specification
50for use in constructing a system description for the
51.Xr config 1
52program.
53The
54.Tn DIAGNOSTICS
55section lists messages which may appear on the console
56and/or in the system error log
57.Pa /var/log/messages
58due to errors in device operation;
59see
60.Xr syslogd 8
61for more information.
62.Pp
63This section contains both devices
64which may be configured into the system
65and network related information.
66The networking support is introduced in
67.Xr netintro 4 .
68.Sh DEVICE SUPPORT
69This section describes the hardware supported on the hpcarm platform.
70Software support for these devices comes in two forms.  A hardware
71device may be supported with a character or block
72.Em device driver ,
73or it may be used within the networking subsystem and have a
74.Em network interface driver .
75Block and character devices are accessed through files in the file
76system of a special type; see
77.Xr mknod 8 .
78Network interfaces are indirectly accessed through the interprocess
79communication facilities provided by the system; see
80.Xr socket 2 .
81.Pp
82A hardware device is identified to the system at configuration time
83and the appropriate device or network interface driver is then compiled
84into the system.  When the resultant system is booted, the
85autoconfiguration facilities in the system probe for the device
86and, if found, enable the software support for it.
87If a device does not respond at autoconfiguration
88time it is not accessible at any time afterwards.
89To enable a device which did not autoconfigure,
90the system must be rebooted.
91.Pp
92The autoconfiguration system is described in
93.Xr autoconf 4 .
94A list of the supported devices is given below.
95.Sh SUPPORTED SYSTEMS
96The hpcarm port supports
97.Tn StrongARM
98based Windows\ CE PDA machines.
99The current supports models are:
