30.Sh NAME
31.Nm isl
32.Nd Intersil(TM) I2C ISL29018 sensor driver
33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines into
35the kernel configuration file:
36.Bd -ragged -offset indent
37.Cd "device isl"
38.Cd "device ig4"
39.Cd "device iicbus"
40.Ed
41.Pp
42Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in
43.Xr loader.conf 5 :
44.Bd -literal -offset indent
45isl_load="YES"
46ig4_load="YES"
47.Ed
48.Pp
49In
50.Pa /boot/device.hints :
51.Cd hint.isl.0.at="iicbus0"
52.Cd hint.isl.0.addr="0x88"
53.Cd hint.isl.1.at="iicbus1"
54.Cd hint.isl.1.addr="0x88"
55.Sh DESCRIPTION
56The
57.Nm
58driver provides access to sensor data provided by the Intersil(TM) I2C
59ISL29018 Digital Ambient Light Sensor and Proximity Sensor with Interrupt
60Function.
61Functionality is basic and provided through the
62.Xr sysctl 8
63interface.
64.Pp
65On a system using
66.Xr device.hints 5 ,
67these values are configurable for
68.Nm :
69.Bl -tag -width "hint.isl.%d.addr"
70.It Va hint.isl.%d.at
71target
72.Xr iicbus 4 .
73.It Va hint.isl.%d.addr
74.Nm
75i2c address on the
76.Xr iicbus 4 .
77.El
78.Sh SYSCTL VARIABLES
79The following
80.Xr sysctl 8
81variables are available:
82.Bl -tag -width "dev.isl.X.resolution"
83.It Va dev.isl.X.als
84Current ALS (Ambient Light Sensor) readout.
85.It Va dev.isl.X.ir
86Current IR (InfraRed) sensor readout.
87.It Va dev.isl.X.prox
88Current proximity sensor readout.
89.It Va dev.isl.X.resolution
90Current sensor resolution.
91.It Va dev.isl.X.range
92Current sensor range.
93.El
94.Sh EXAMPLES
95.Ss Ambient light sensor read out
96.Bd -literal
97$ sysctl dev.isl.0.als
98dev.isl.0.als: 64
99.Ed
100.Ss Automatically adjust brightness
101This requires the port
102.Pa graphics/intel-backlight
103and only works with laptops using a supported Intel(R) GPU.

120.Sh BUGS
121The
122.Nm
123driver detects the device based from the I2C address.
124This might have unforeseen consequences if the initialization sequence
125is sent to an unknown device at that address.
