43.Sh SYNOPSIS
44.Cd "hpc0 at gio0 addr 0x1fb80000 flags 0x0000"
45.Cd "hpc1 at gio0 addr 0x1fb00000 flags 0x0000"

48.Sh DESCRIPTION
49.Nm
50interfaces the peripherals connected to it to the
51.Xr gio 4
52bus.
53.Nm
54is found on the Personal Iris 4D/3x, Indigo, Indy, and Indigo2 machines.
55.Pp
56There are three different numerical revisions of the
57.Nm
58controller.
59Revisions 1 and 1.5 exist on Personal Iris 4D/3x and Indigo machines,
60as well as GIO32bis expansion cards such as the E++ SEEQ-based
61Ethernet adapter.
62Revision 1.5 supports bi-endian operation.
63Revision 3 exists on Indy and Indigo2 systems.
64It is possible to have an on-board HPC3 as well as HPC1.5-based
65GIO32bis adapters in the Indy.
66.Pp
67The
68.Nm
69driver will attempt to detect the revision present, but since
70this is a heuristic exercise, flags exist to force the detected
71revision:

103.Sh HISTORY
104The
105.Nm
106driver first appeared in
107.Nx 1.6
108with support for Revision 3.
109Revision 1 and 1.5 support was added in
110.Nx 2.0 .
111.Sh BUGS
112.Nm
113Revisions 1 and 1.5 support DMA buffer pointers of only 28 bits
114and may therefore only address 256 megabytes of memory.
115The R4k Indigo and Indy are the only systems that support sufficient
116memory to illustrate this drawback.
117A software workaround is not currently implemented.
118Revision 3, with 32 bit pointers, does not have this limitation.
