33.Os
34.Sh NAME
35.Nm fdtbus
36.Nd Flattened Device Tree bus driver
37.Sh SYNOPSIS
38.Cd "options FDT"
39.Sh DESCRIPTION
40The
41.Nm
42abstract bus driver is the primary connection and translation layer between
43.Xr fdt 4
44hardware resources description and
45.Fx
46native newbus device drivers framework.
47For an embedded system
48.Nm
49represents peripherals typically found on a highly integrated chip
50(system-on-chip).
51.Pp
52The
53.Nm
54driver provides generic, common infrastructure for all
55.Xr fdt 4
56oriented device drivers, and its main responsibilities are the
57following:
58.Bl -bullet
59.It
60Creating newbus children that reflect
61.Xr fdt 4
62nodes in the flattened device tree.
63.It
64Managing SYS_RES_IRQ resources.
65.It
66Managing SYS_RES_MEMORY, SYS_RES_IOPORT resources.
