BHND(4) FreeBSD Kernel Interfaces Manual BHND(4)
NAME
bhnd - Broadcom Home Networking Division interconnect bus
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, add the following lines to the
kernel configuration file:
device bhnd
To load the driver as a module at boot, add this line to loader.conf(5):
bhnd_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
The bhnd driver provides a unified kernel bus interface to the on-chip
interconnects used in Broadcom Home Networking Division (HND) devices.
The Broadcom HND device family consists of SoCs (System On a Chip) and
host-connected chipsets based on a common library of Broadcom IP cores
connected via an internal hardware bus architecture. Drivers for these
cores are implemented against the unified bhnd interface.
The Sonic Inc. Silicon Backplane used in earlier HND devices is supported
by the siba(4) BHND driver.
The ARM AMBA-based interconnect used in later HND devices is supported by
the bcma(4) BHND driver.
