41.Nm hpc
42.Nd SGI High performance Peripheral Controller
43.Sh SYNOPSIS
44.Cd "hpc0 at gio0 addr 0x1fb80000"
45.Cd "hpc1 at gio0 addr 0x1fb00000"
46.Cd "hpc2 at gio0 addr 0x1fb98000"
47.Cd "hpc3 at gio0 addr 0x1fb90000"
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, Challenge S, Challenge M,
55and Indigo2 machines.
56.Pp
57There are three different numerical revisions of the
58.Nm
59controller.
60Revisions 1 and 1.5 exist on Personal Iris 4D/3x and Indigo machines,
61as well as GIO32bis expansion cards such as the E++ SEEQ-based
62Ethernet adapter.
63Revision 1.5 supports bi-endian operation.
64Revision 3 exists on Indy, Challenge S, Indigo2, and Challenge M systems.
65It is possible to have an on-board HPC3 as well as HPC1.5-based
66GIO32bis adapters in the Indy and Challenge S systems.
67Additionally, the Challenge S may have a secondary HPC3 if the IOPLUS
68(a.k.a. ''mezzanine'') board is installed.

92.Sh HISTORY
93The
94.Nm
95driver first appeared in
96.Nx 1.6
97with support for Revision 3.
98Revision 1 and 1.5 support was added in
99.Nx 2.0 .
100.Sh BUGS
101.Nm
102Revisions 1 and 1.5 support DMA buffer pointers of only 28 bits
103and may therefore only address 256 megabytes of memory.
104The R4k Indigo and Indy are the only systems that support sufficient
105memory to illustrate this drawback.
106A software workaround is not currently implemented.
107Revision 3, with 32 bit pointers, does not have this limitation.
