35.Nd Generic Memory Module Serial Presence Detect
36.Sh SYNOPSIS
37.Cd "spdmem* at iic? addr 0x50"
38.Cd "spdmem* at iic? addr 0x51"

41.Sh DESCRIPTION
42The
43.Nm
44driver provides support for generic memory module Serial Presence Detect.
45During kernel boot it displays module type, and where possible, the size and
46rated speed of the memory module. Additional information such as bank
47configuration and width is printed if the kernel is booted in verbose mode.
48.Pp
49The Serial Presence Detect data for each memory module is also made accessible
50to user mode via sysctl(8).  An entry for each
51.Nm
52device is created under the 'hw' top-level MIB.
