40.Sh NAME
41.Nm elansc
42.Nd AMD Elan SC520 System Controller driver
43.Sh SYNOPSIS
44.Cd "elansc* at pci? dev ? function ?"
45.Cd "gpio* at elansc?"
46.Sh DESCRIPTION
47The
48.Nm
49driver supports the system controller of the AMD Elan SC520 microcontroller.
50The SC520 consists of an AMD Am5x86 processor core, integrated PCI host
51controller, and several standard on-chip devices, such as NS16550-compatible
52UARTs, real-time clock, and timers.
53.Pp
54The Elan SC520 also provides several special on-chip devices.
55The following are supported by the
56.Nm
57driver:
58.Bl -bullet
59.It
60Watchdog timer.
61The watchdog timer may be configured for a 1
62second, 2 second, 4 second, 8 second, 16 second, or 32 second
63expiration period.
64.It
65Programmable Input/Output.
66The SC520 microcontroller supports 32 programmable I/O signals (PIOs)
67that can be used on the system board to monitor signals or control devices
68that are not handled by the other functions in the SC520 microcontroller.
69These signals can be programmed to be inputs or to be driven
70.Dq high
71or
72.Dq low
73as outputs.
74Pins can be accessed through the
75.Xr gpio 4
76framework.
77The
78.Xr gpioctl 8
79program allows easy manipulation of pins from userland.

84.Xr wdogctl 8
85.Sh HISTORY
86The
87.Nm
88device first appeared in
89.Nx 2.0 .
90PIO function support was added in
91.Ox 3.6 ,
92and subsequently ported to
93.Nx 4.0 .
94.Sh AUTHORS
95The
96.Nm
97driver was written by
98.An Jason R. Thorpe Aq thorpej@NetBSD.org .
99.An Jasper Wallace
100provided the work-around for a hardware bug related to the watchdog timer
101in some steppings of the SC520 CPU.
102Support for the PIO function was added to
103.Ox 3.6
104by
105.An Alexander Yurchenko Aq grange@openbsd.org
106and was ported to
107.Nx
