28.Dt BCM283X_PWM 4
29.Os
30.Sh NAME
31.Nm bcm283x_pwm
32.Nd bcm283x_pwm - driver for Raspberry Pi 2/3 PWM
33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34.Cd "kldload bcm283x_clkman"
35.Cd "kldload bcm283x_pwm"
36.Sh DESCRIPTION
37The
38.Nm
39driver provides access to the PWM engine on GPIO12 of Raspberry Pi 2 and 3 hardware.
40.Pp
41The PWM hardware is controlled via the
42.Xr sysctl 8
43interface:
44.Bd -literal
45dev.pwm.0.mode: 1
46dev.pwm.0.mode2: 1
47dev.pwm.0.freq: 125000000
48dev.pwm.0.ratio: 2500
49dev.pwm.0.ratio2: 2500
50dev.pwm.0.period: 10000
51dev.pwm.0.period2: 10000
52dev.pwm.0.pwm_freq: 12500
53dev.pwm.0.pwm_freq2: 12500
54.Ed
55.Bl -tag -width ".Va dev.pwm"
56.It Va dev.pwm.0.mode , dev.pwm.0.mode2
57PWM Mode for channels 1 and 2.
58Three modes exist, 0=off, 1=PWM, 2=N/M.
59The N/M mode is a first order delta-sigma mode, which makes a quite
60handy DAC output with a trivial RC lowpass filter.
61.Pp
62.It Va dev.pwm.0.freq
63The input frequency to the PWM hardware in Hz.
64Applies to both channels 1 and 2.
65Minimum frequency is 123 kHz, maximum frequency is 125 MHz.
66.It Va dev.pwm.0.period , dev.pwm.0.period2
67The period length in cycles.
68In PWM mode, the output frequencies will be
69(
70.Va dev.pwm.0.freq
71/
72.Va dev.pwm.period
73) and (
74.Va dev.pwm.0.freq2
75/
76.Va dev.pwm.0.period2
77).
78In N/M mode this is the 'M'.
79.It Va dev.pwm.0.ratio , dev.pwm.0.ratio2
80The "on" period in cycles for PWM channels 1 and 2.
81In PWM mode, to get a 25% dutycycle, set this to 25% of
82.Va dev.pwm.0.period
83or
84.Va dev.pwm.0.period2 ,
85as appropriate.
86In N/M mode this is the 'N'.
87.It Va dev.pwm.0.pwm_freq , dev.pwm.0.pwm_freq2
88The calculated PWM output frequencies in PWM mode, for channels 1 and 2.
89.El
90.Pp
91.Sh NOTES
92Currently the
93.Nm
94driver ignores the 'status="disabled"' flag in the DTB, assuming that
95if you load the driver, you want it to work.
96.Sh SEE ALSO
97.Xr sysctl 8
98.Sh HISTORY
99The
100.Nm
101driver first appeared in
102.Fx 12.0 .
