33.Sh NAME
34.Nm hpc
35.Nd SGI High performance Peripheral Controller
36.Sh SYNOPSIS
37.Cd "hpc0 at gio0 addr 0x1fb80000"
38.Cd "hpc1 at gio0 addr 0x1fb00000"
39.Cd "hpc2 at gio0 addr 0x1fb98000"
40.Cd "hpc3 at gio0 addr 0x1fb90000"
41.Sh DESCRIPTION
42.Nm
43interfaces the peripherals connected to it to the
44.Xr sgimips/gio 4
45bus.
46.Nm
47is found on the Personal Iris 4D/3x, Indigo, Indy, Challenge S, Challenge M,
48and Indigo2 machines.
49.Pp
50There are three different numerical revisions of the
51.Nm
52controller.
53Revisions 1 and 1.5 exist on Personal Iris 4D/3x and Indigo machines,
54as well as GIO32bis expansion cards such as the E++ SEEQ-based
55Ethernet adapter.
56Revision 1.5 supports bi-endian operation.
57Revision 3 exists on Indy, Challenge S, Indigo2, and Challenge M systems.
58It is possible to have an on-board HPC3 as well as HPC1.5-based
59GIO32bis adapters in the Indy and Challenge S systems.
60Additionally, the Challenge S may have a secondary HPC3 if the IOPLUS
61(a.k.a. ''mezzanine'') board is installed.

85.Sh HISTORY
86The
87.Nm
88driver first appeared in
89.Nx 1.6
90with support for Revision 3.
91Revision 1 and 1.5 support was added in
92.Nx 2.0 .
93.Sh BUGS
94.Nm
95Revisions 1 and 1.5 support DMA buffer pointers of only 28 bits
96and may therefore only address 256 megabytes of memory.
97The R4k Indigo and Indy are the only systems that support sufficient
98memory to illustrate this drawback.
99A software workaround is not currently implemented.
100Revision 3, with 32 bit pointers, does not have this limitation.
