NAME

     EBus -- introduction to SPARC EBus bus support and drivers

SYNOPSIS

     ebus* at pci?

DESCRIPTION

     The EBus bus is designed to provide the ability to put ISA and traditional Intel-style peripherals in a SPARC based system with a minimal
     amount of glue logic.  Typically, it is implemented in the PCIO IC from SME, which also implements a hme(4) compatible PCI network device
     ('network').  The EBus has four DMA channels, similar to the DMA seen in the esp(4) SCSI DMA.

SBUS(4) 						   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						   SBUS(4)

NAME

     SBus -- introduction to machine-independent SBus bus support and drivers

SYNOPSIS

     sbus* at mainbus?
     sbus* at iommu?
     sbus* at xbox?

     These
     SBus attachments are specific to the NetBSD/sparc and NetBSD/sparc64 ports.

DESCRIPTION

     SBus is a I/O interconnect bus mostly found in SPARC workstations and small to medium server class systems.  It supports both on-board
     peripherals and extension boards.	The SBus specifications define the bus protocol as well as the electrical and mechanical properties of the
     extension slots.
