32.Os
33.Sh NAME
34.Nm ichlpcib
35.Nd Intel ICH LPC Interface Bridge
36.Sh SYNOPSIS
37.Cd "ichlpcib* at pci? dev ? function ?"
38.Cd "hpet0     at ichlpcib?"
39.Cd "isa0      at ichlpcib?"
40.Cd "gpio*     at ichlpcib?"
41.Sh DESCRIPTION
42The
43.Nm
44driver supports the Intel ICH LPC Interface Bridges on compatible
45chipsets.
46Supported functions include:
47.Bl -bullet
48.It
49Watchdog timer.
50The watchdog timer may be configured for a 2 seconds (on ICH6 or newer)
51and 4 seconds (on ICH5 or older) min period and for a 39 seconds
52(on ICH5 or older) or 613 seconds max period (on ICH6 or newer).
53.It
54Power Management timer.
55A 24-bit timer available to be used by the timecounters framework.
56.It
57SpeedStep.
58In some systems the SpeedStep function is also available, and can be
59used to switch between high and low frequency (to reduce power consumption)
60via the
61.Li machdep.speedstep_state
62.Xr sysctl 8
63node.
64A value of 0 will use the low frequency (low power) and a 1 will
65enable the high frequency (full power).
66.It
67General Purpose Input/Output.
68The ICH provides up to 64 I/O pins which can be accessed through the
69.Xr gpio 4
70framework.
