29.Os
30.Sh NAME
31.Nm iic_gpiomux
32.Nd driver for I2C mux hardware controlled via GPIO
33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34To compile this driver into the kernel,
35place the following line in your
36kernel configuration file:
37.Bd -ragged -offset indent
38.Cd "device iic_gpiomux"
39.Ed
40.Pp
41Alternatively, to load the driver as a
42module at boot time, place the following line in
43.Xr loader.conf 5 :
44.Bd -literal -offset indent
45iic_gpiomux_load="YES"
46.Ed
47.Sh DESCRIPTION
48The
49.Nm
50driver supports any type of I2C bus multiplexer (mux) hardware that
51is controlled by manipulating the state of one or more GPIO pins.
52It automatically connects an upstream I2C bus to one of the downstream
53buses as needed when slave devices on the downstream buses initiate I/O.
54More information on the automatic switching behavior is available in
55.Xr iicmux 4 .
56.Sh FDT CONFIGURATION
57On an
58.Xr fdt 4
59based system, an
60.Nm
61device node may be defined as a child node of any arbitrary bus
62in the FDT data.
63The
64.Va i2c-parent
65property indicates the connection to the upstream I2C bus.
66The children of the
67.Nm
68node are additional i2c buses, which will have their own i2c slave
69devices described in their child nodes.
70.Pp
71The
72.Nm
73driver conforms to the standard
74.Bk -words
75.Li i2c/i2c-mux-gpio.txt
76.Ek
77bindings document.
78.Sh SEE ALSO
79.Xr iicbus 4 ,
80.Xr iicmux 4
81.Sh HISTORY
82The
83.Nm
84driver first appeared in
85.Fx 13.0 .
