Changes beyond OpenBSD's driver:
- Improved support for AMD K8
- Added support for AMD Barcelona, AMD Phenom and AMD Griffin
Tested on various single and multi-socket machines.
Review and OK xtreame
btuartd(8) should be named btattach(8) for consistency
with other parts of NetBSD
make btattach(8) a single-use tool for less complexity
device specicific initialisation (from btuart(4)) is carried
out prior to activating the line discipline (in btattach(8)),
which simplifies the API somewhat and means that the user
tool and the kernel do not need to be kept in sync.
btuart(4) driver is much reduced; naming is made consistent
and all tsleep() and delay() are removed to userland
device in the Fintek LPC Super I/O chips, this includes the following
list:
- F71805F
- F71806F
- F71862FG
- F71872F
- F71882
- F71883F
This has been adapted from the fins(4) driver available in OpenBSD, which
only supported F71805F.
Tobias Nygren <tnn> and myself added support for the other chips; thanks go
to Tobias for testing the driver with a Fintek F71882 chip.
"retro" computers, but NetBSD also runs a growing number of rare
and retro add-on cards. With this patch, NetBSD supports the IDEC
Supervision/16, a black&white image capture board for the 16-bit
ISA bus. Approximate date of manufacture: 1991. Total instances
known to be in use throughout the world: one.
Coming soon; isvctl(8), the utility program for capturing 8-bit,
512x480 images at speeds of up to 6 frames per second.
"obsolete"; just remove the entry, as third-party applications
may be linked against the old major shared library, and
that is a symlink to the old major.minor shared library.
E.g., "lib<name>.so.<N>" and "lib<name>.so.<N>.<M>"
Exceptions to this rule may include shared libraries that
are dlopen()ed at run-time, such as extra locales, etc.
lpa(4) (Man page was removed about 14 years ago. Now link to lpt.4
on acorn32, i386, and mvme68k.)
audioctl(4)
random(4)
urandom(4)
tuner(4)
vbi(4)
wsmuxctl(4)
As mentioned on netbsd-docs list. (Many, many more man pages to do.)
