27.Dt GLXIIC 4 i386
28.Os
29.Sh NAME
30.Nm glxiic
31.Nd Geode LX CS5536 I2C controller driver
32.Sh SYNOPSIS
33To compile this driver into the kernel,
34place the following lines in your
35kernel configuration file:
36.Bd -ragged -offset indent
37.Cd "device pci"
38.Cd "device isa"
39.Cd "device glxiic"
40.Cd "device iicbus"
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
47glxiic_load="YES"
48.Ed
49.Sh DESCRIPTION
50The
51.Nm
52driver supports the System Management Bus controller of the Geode LX
53series CS5536 Companion Device.  The Geode LX is a member of the AMD
54Geode family of integrated x86 system chips.
55.Pp
56Although AMD refers to this device as a System Management Bus (SMBus)
57controller, it is really an I2C controller (it lacks SMBus ALERT# and
58Alert Response support).
59.Pp
60The
61.Nm
62driver supports both I2C master and slave mode.
63.Sh SYSCTL VARIABLE
64The
65.Nm
66driver supports the following variable as both
67.Xr sysctl 8
68and
69.Xr loader 8
70tunable:
71.Bl -tag -width indent
72.It Va dev.glxiic.0.timeout
73This variable controls the I2C bus timeout in milliseconds.  The
74default timeout is 35 milliseconds.  A value of zero disables the
75timeout.
76.El
77.Sh CAVEAT
78The
79.Nm
80driver uses the interrupt line number configured by the board firmware
81by default.  If no interrupt line number has been configured by the
82board firmware (or to override the interrupt line number configured by
83board firmware), place the following line in
84.Xr device.hints 5 :
85.Bd -ragged -offset indent
86hint.glxiic.0.irq="10"
87.Ed
88.Pp
89The interrupt line number must be between 1 and 15.
