30.Sh NAME
31.Nm bhnd_chipc
32.Nd Broadcom Home Networking Division ChipCommon Driver
33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34To compile this driver into the kernel, add this line to the
35kernel configuration file:
36.Bd -ragged -offset indent
37.Cd "device bhnd"
38.Ed
39.Pp
40To compile driver support for all additional devices found in embedded systems,
41add the following additional lines to the kernel configuration file:
42.Bd -ragged -offset indent
43.Cd "device cfi"
44.Cd "device gpio"
45.Cd "device spibus"
46.Cd "device uart"
47.Ed
48.Pp
49To load the driver as a module at boot, add this line to
50.Xr loader.conf 5 :
51.Bd -literal -offset indent

54.Sh DESCRIPTION
55The
56.Nm
57driver supports the ChipCommon core found in Broadcom Home Networking
58Division network chipsets and embedded systems.
59.Pp
60The ChipCommon core provides an interface to common hardware facilities,
61including device identification, UARTs, CFI and SPI flash, One-time Programmable
62(OTP) Memory, and GPIO.
