30.Dt IIC_GPIOMUX 4
31.Os
32.Sh NAME
33.Nm iic_gpiomux
34.Nd driver for I2C mux hardware controlled via GPIO
35.Sh SYNOPSIS
36To compile this driver into the kernel,
37place the following line in your
38kernel configuration file:
39.Bd -ragged -offset indent
40.Cd "device iic_gpiomux"
41.Ed
42.Pp
43Alternatively, to load the driver as a
44module at boot time, place the following line in
45.Xr loader.conf 5 :
46.Bd -literal -offset indent
47iic_gpiomux_load="YES"
48.Ed
49.Sh DESCRIPTION
50The
51.Nm
52driver supports any type of I2C bus multiplexer (mux) hardware that
53is controlled by manipulating the state of one or more GPIO pins.
54It automatically connects an upstream I2C bus to one of the downstream
55buses as needed when slave devices on the downstream buses initiate I/O.
56More information on the automatic switching behavior is available in
57.Xr iicmux 4 .
58.Sh FDT CONFIGURATION
59On an
60.Xr fdt 4
61based system, an
62.Nm
63device node may be defined as a child node of any arbitrary bus
64in the FDT data.
65The
66.Va i2c-parent
67property indicates the connection to the upstream I2C bus.
68The children of the
69.Nm
70node are additional i2c buses, which will have their own i2c slave
71devices described in their child nodes.
72.Pp
73The
74.Nm
75driver conforms to the standard
76.Bk -words
77.Li i2c/i2c-mux-gpio.txt
78.Ek
79bindings document.
80.Sh SEE ALSO
81.Xr iicbus 4 ,
82.Xr iicmux 4
83.Sh HISTORY
84The
85.Nm
86driver first appeared in
87.Fx 13.0 .
