20.Sh NAME
21.Nm tcpcib
22.Nd Intel Atom E600 series LPC bridge, timecounter and watchdog timer
23.Sh SYNOPSIS
24.Cd "tcpcib* at pci?"
25.Cd "isa* at tcpcib?"
26.Sh DESCRIPTION
27The
28.Nm
29driver provides support for the Intel Atom E600 series LPC bridge and
30implements a 64-bit 14.3 MHz timecounter using the HPET timer.
31.Pp
32The
33.Nm
34driver also provides the standard
35.Xr watchdog 4
36interface to the watchdog timer and may be used with
37.Xr watchdogd 8 .
38The watchdog timer can be configured via
39.Xr sysctl 8 .
40.Pp
41Once the watchdog timer resets the CPU, the driver reports it on the
42next boot displaying the ``reboot on timeout'' message in the
43.Xr dmesg 8 .
44.Pp
45The maximum timeout value supported by the watchdog timer is 600
46seconds.

64.Sh BUGS
65Apart from the core
66.Xr pcib 4
67functionality, timecounter and the
68.Xr watchdog 4
69interface, the driver doesn't support any other aspects of the hardware.
