29see 30.Xr syslogd 8 31for more information. 32.Pp 33This section contains both devices 34which may be configured into the system 35and network related information. 36The networking support is introduced in 37.Xr netintro 4 . 38.Sh DEVICE SUPPORT 39This section describes the hardware supported on the 40sparc64 41platform. 42Software support for these devices comes in two forms. 43A hardware device may be supported with a character or block 44.Em device driver , 45or it may be used within the networking subsystem and have a 46.Em network interface driver . 47Block and character devices are accessed through files in the file 48system of a special type; see 49.Xr mknod 8 . 50Network interfaces are indirectly accessed through the interprocess 51communication facilities provided by the system; see 52.Xr socket 2 . 53.Pp 54A hardware device is identified to the system at configuration time 55and the appropriate device or network interface driver is then compiled 56into the system. 57When the resultant system is booted, the autoconfiguration facilities 58in the system probe for the device and, if found, enable the software 59support for it. 60If a device does not respond at autoconfiguration 61time it is not accessible at any time afterwards. 62To enable a device which did not autoconfigure, 63the system will have to be rebooted. 64.Pp 65The autoconfiguration system is described in 66.Xr autoconf 4 . 67A list of the supported devices is given below. 68.Sh LIST OF DEVICES 69The devices listed below are supported in this incarnation of 70the system. 71Pseudo-devices are not listed. 72Devices are indicated by their functional interface. 73Not all supported devices are listed. 74.Pp 75.Bl -tag -width zs/zstty/zskbd(4) -compact -offset indent 76.It Xr apio 4 77Aurora SBus pio1 parallel ports. 78.It Xr asio 4 79Aurora SBus sio2 serial ports. 80.It Xr audioce 4 81EBus CS4231 based audio. 82.It Xr audiocs 4 83SBus CS4231 based audio. 84.It Xr autri 4 85PCI Trident 4DWAVE DX/NX, SiS 7018, ALi M5451 audio. 86.It Xr be 4 8710BaseT/100BaseTX SBus Ethernet controller. 88.It Xr beeper 4 89Simple speaker beeper. 90.It Xr bwtwo 4 91SBus monochrome graphics frame buffer. 92.It Xr cgsix 4 938 bit SBus color graphics frame buffer. 94.It Xr cgthree 4 958 bit SBus color graphics frame buffer. 96.It Xr com 4 97EBUS clones of the NS16550 serial UART. 98.It Xr comkbd 4 99Sun serial keyboards on 100.Xr com 4 101ports. 102.It Xr creator 4 103UPA Creator/Creator 3D/Elite 3D color graphics frame buffer. 104.It Xr dc 4 105Clones of the DEC Tulip ethernet controller. 106.It Xr eap 4 107Ensoniq AudioPCI based audio. 108.It Xr eso 4 109ESS Technology Solo-1 PCI AudioDrive based audio. 110.It Xr esp 4 111ESP SCSI controller. 112.It Xr fxp 4 113Intel EtherExpress PRO/100 Ethernet driver. 114.It Xr gem 4 115GEM gigabit ethernet interface. 116.It Xr hifn 4 117Hifn 7751/7811/7951 cryptography accelerators. 118.It Xr hme 4 119SBus HME Ethernet controllers (SunSwift). 120.It Xr isp 4 121Qlogic ISP SBus SCSI controller. 122.It Xr le/lebuffer 4 123AMD 7990 LANCE ethernet controller. 124.It Xr lofn 4 125Hifn 6500 public key cryptography engine. 126.It Xr lpt 4 127Parallel port driver. 128.It Xr magma 4 129MAGMA serial/parallel communication boards. 130.It Xr openprom 4 131Sun Open boot PROM (what became IEEE 1275) configuration driver. 132.It Xr pckbd 4 133PS/2-style keyboard driver. 134.It Xr pcons 4 135PROM console input/output device. 136.It Xr pms/pmsi 4 137PS/2 auxiliary port mouse driver. 138.It Xr qe 4 139Quad 10BaseT SBus Ethernet controller. 140.It Xr qec 4 141Supported as carrier for 142.Nm be 143or 144.Nm qe 145Ethernet controllers. 146.It Xr sab 4 147Infineon (formerly Siemens) SAB82532 serial controller. 148.It Xr siop 4 149LSI/Symbios Logic/NCR 53c8xxx SCSI driver. 150.It Xr spif 4 151Sun SUNW,spif serial/parallel communication boards. 152.It Xr stp 4 153SBus 154.Xr pcmcia 4 155bridge. 156.It Xr ti 4 157Alteon Networks Tigon I and II Gigabit Ethernet driver. 158.It Xr ubsec 4 159Bluesteelnet 5501/5601, Broadcom 5805/5820/5821 crytography accelerators. 160.It Xr ukbd 4 161USB keyboard. 162.It Xr ums 4 163USB mouse. 164.It Xr uperf 4 165Performance counters on SBUS/PCI machines. 166.It Xr vgafb 4 167PCI graphics frame buffer. 168.It Xr xl 4 169xl 3Com EtherLink XL and Fast EtherLink XL Ethernet driver. 170.It Xr zs/zstty/zskbd 4 171Zilog 8530 serial controller (and serial keyboards). 172.El 173.Sh SEE ALSO 174.Xr autoconf 4 , 175.Xr config 8 176.Sh HISTORY 177The 178sparc64 179.Nm intro 180first appeared in 181.Ox 3.0 . 182
