NAME

     glxiic — Geode LX CS5536 I2C controller driver

SYNOPSIS

     To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel
     configuration file:

           device pci
           device isa
           device glxiic
           device iicbus

     Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in
     loader.conf(5):

           glxiic_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

     The glxiic driver supports the System Management Bus controller of the Geode LX series
     CS5536 Companion Device.  The Geode LX is a member of the AMD Geode family of integrated x86
     system chips.

     Although AMD refers to this device as a System Management Bus (SMBus) controller, it is
     really an I2C controller (it lacks SMBus ALERT# and Alert Response support).

     The glxiic driver supports both I2C master and slave mode.

SYSCTL VARIABLE

     The glxiic driver supports the following variable as both sysctl(8) and loader(8) tunable:

     dev.glxiic.0.timeout
             This variable controls the I2C bus timeout in milliseconds.  The default timeout is
             35 milliseconds.  A value of zero disables the timeout.

CAVEAT

     The glxiic driver uses the interrupt line number configured by the board firmware by
     default.  If no interrupt line number has been configured by the board firmware (or to
     override the interrupt line number configured by board firmware), place the following line
     in device.hints(5):

           hint.glxiic.0.irq="10"

     The interrupt line number must be between 1 and 15.
