CARDBUS(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual CARDBUS(4)
NAME
cardbus, cardslot, cbb -- CardBus driver
SYNOPSIS
cbb* at pci? dev? function ?
cardslot* at cbb?
cardbus* at cardslot?
pcmcia* at cardslot?
XX* at cardbus? function ?
DESCRIPTION
NetBSD provides machine-independent bus support and drivers for CardBus devices.
The cbb device represents the CardBus controller. Each controller has a number of slots, represented by the cardslot devices. A slot can
have either a CardBus card or a PCMCIA card, which are attached with the cardbus or pcmcia devices, respectively.
SUPPORTED DEVICES
NetBSD includes the following machine-independent CardBus drivers, sorted by function and driver name:

DIAGNOSTICS
cbb devices may not be properly handled by the system BIOS on i386-family systems. If, on an i386-family system, the cbb driver reports
cbb0: NOT USED because of unconfigured interrupt
then enabling
options PCI_ADDR_FIXUP
options PCI_BUS_FIXUP
options PCI_INTR_FIXUP
or (if ACPI is in use)
options PCI_INTR_FIXUP_DISABLED
in the kernel configuration might be of use.

HISTORY

BUGS
Memory space conflicts
NetBSD maps memory on Cardbus and PCMCIA cards in order to access the cards (including reading CIS tuples on PCMCIA cards) and access the
devices using the RBUS abstraction. When the mapping does not work, PCMCIA cards are typically ignored on insert, and Cardbus cards are rec-
ognized but nonfunctional. On i386, the kernel has a heuristic to choose a memory address for mapping, defaulting to 1 GB, but choosing 0.5
GB on machines with less than 192 MB RAM and 2 GB on machines with more than 1 GB of RAM. The intent is to use an address that is larger
than available RAM, but low enough to work; some systems seem to have trouble with addresses requiring more than 20 address lines. On i386,
the following kernel configuration line disables the heuristics and forces Cardbus memory space to be mapped at 512M; this value makes Card-
bus support (including PCMCIA attachment under a cbb) work on some notebook models, including the IBM Thinkpad 600E (2645-4AU) and the Compaq
ARMADA M700:
options RBUS_MIN_START="0x20000000"

NAME
pci -- introduction to machine-independent PCI bus support and drivers
SYNOPSIS
pci* at mainbus? bus ?
pci* at pchb? bus ?
pci* at ppb? bus ?
options PCIVERBOSE
options PCI_CONFIG_DUMP
options PCI_ADDR_FIXUP
options PCI_BUS_FIXUP
options PCI_INTR_FIXUP
DESCRIPTION
Other pci attachments are machine-dependent and depend on the bus topology and PCI bus interface of your system. See intro(4) for your sys-
tem for details.
NetBSD includes a machine-independent PCI bus subsystem and several machine-independent PCI device drivers.
Your system may support additional PCI devices. Drivers for PCI devices not listed here are machine-dependent. Consult your system's
intro(4) for additional information.
OPTIONS
PCI_ADDR_FIXUP Fixup PCI I/O and memory addresses.
Some i386 and amd64 BIOS implementations don't allocate I/O space and memory space for some PCI devices -- primarily BIOS
in PnP mode, or laptops that expect devices to be configured via ACPI. Since necessary space isn't allocated, those
devices will not work without special handling.
This option allocates I/O space and memory space instead of relying upon the BIOS to do so.
If necessary space is already correctly assigned to the devices, this option leaves the space as is.
PCI_BUS_FIXUP Fixup PCI bus numbering; needed for many cardbus(4) bridges.
Each PCI bus and CardBus should have a unique bus number. But some BIOS implementations don't assign a bus number for
subordinate PCI buses. And many BIOS implementations don't assign a bus number for CardBuses.
A typical symptom of this is the following boot message:
cardbus0 at cardslot0: bus 0 device 0...
Please note that this cardbus0 has a bus number '0', but normally the bus number 0 is used by the machine's primary PCI
bus. Thus, this bus number for cardbus is incorrect (not assigned). In this situation, a device located in cardbus0
doesn't show correct device ID, because its bus number 0 incorrectly refers to the primary PCI bus, and a device ID in the
primary PCI bus is shown in the boot message instead of the device's ID in the cardbus0.
This option assigns bus numbers for all subordinate PCI buses and CardBuses.
Since this option renumbers all PCI buses and CardBuses, all bus numbers of subordinate buses become different when this
option is enabled.
PCI_INTR_FIXUP Fixup PCI interrupt routing via PCIBIOS or ACPI.
Some i386 and amd64 BIOS implementations don't assign an interrupt for some devices.
This option assigns an interrupt for such devices instead of relying upon the BIOS to do so.
If a valid interrupt has already been assigned to a device, this option leaves the interrupt as is.
