.Dd October 9, 2005 .Dt PCIBIOS 4 i386 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm pcibios .Nd introduction to PCI BIOS support .Sh SYNOPSIS .Cd "options PCIBIOS" .Cd "options PCIBIOSVERBOSE" .Cd "#options PCIBIOS_IRQS_HINT=0x0a00 #IRQ 9,11" .Cd "#options PCIBIOS_INTR_FIXUP_FORCE" .Cd "options PCIBIOS_INTR_GUESS" .Cd "#options PCIINTR_DEBUG" .Sh INTRODUCTION .Nm provides support for setting up PCI controllers, bridges, and devices using information extracted from the BIOS.
p Ideally, the boot firmware of a machine (a.k.a. BIOS) should set up all PCI devices; assigning them I/O and memory addresses and interrupts. Alas, this does not always happen, so there is some PC specific code that can do the initialization when .Nx boots.
p Options: l -tag -width PCIBIOS_IRQS_HINT -offset 3n t Nm PCIBIOS turn on the PCI BIOS support. t Nm PCIBIOSVERBOSE make the setup procedure verbose. t Nm PCIBIOS_IRQS_HINT hint for IRQ use. When .Em PCI_INTR_FIXUP cannot guess an adequate IRQ for a device, the hint is used.
p The value is a logical or of power-of-2s of allowable interrupts: l -column "XX-0xffff" "XX-0xffff" "XX-0xffff" "XX-0xffff" -compact -offset 2n t Em "IRQ Value" Ta Em "IRQ Value" Ta Em "IRQ Value" Ta Em "IRQ Value" t " 0 0x0001" Ta " 4 0x0010" Ta " 8 0x0100" Ta "12 0x1000" t " 1 0x0002" Ta " 5 0x0020" Ta " 9 0x0200" Ta "13 0x2000" t " 2 0x0004" Ta " 6 0x0040" Ta "10 0x0400" Ta "14 0x4000" t " 3 0x0008" Ta " 7 0x0080" Ta "11 0x0800" Ta "15 0x8000" .El For example, .Qq Sy options PCIBIOS_IRQS_HINT=0x0a00 allows IRQ 9 and IRQ 11.
p The kernel global variable .Va pcibios_irqs_hint holds this value, so a user can override this value without kernel recompilation. For example: l -bullet -compact t To specify this value on the fly, type the following command at the boot prompt to drop into DDB (the in-kernel debugger; you have to specify .Qq Sy options DDB to make kernel with DDB): .Dl Ic boot -d And type the following command on .Qq Sy db> prompt: .Dl Ic write pcibios_irqs_hint 0x0a00 Then type the following to continue to boot: .Dl Ic c t To modify kernel image without kernel recompilation, run the following command on shell: .Dl Ic gdb --write /netbsd And type the following commands at the .Qq Sy (gdb) prompt: .Dl Ic set pcibios_irqs_hint=0xa00 .Dl Ic quit .El t Nm PCIBIOS_INTR_FIXUP_FORCE Some buggy BIOS implementations provide inconsistent information between the PCI Interrupt Configuration Register and the PCI Interrupt Routing table. In such case, the PCI Interrupt Configuration Register takes precedence by default. If this happens, a kernel with .Em PCIBIOSVERBOSE shows .Qq Sy WARNING: preserving irq XX in the PCI routing table.
p If .Em PCIBIOS_INTR_FIXUP_FORCE is specified in addition to the .Em PCI_INTR_FIXUP , the PCI Interrupt Routing table takes precedence. In this case, a kernel with .Em PCIBIOSVERBOSE shows .Qq Sy WARNING: overriding irq XX in the PCI routing table. t Nm PCIBIOS_INTR_GUESS make .Em PCI_INTR_FIXUP work with unknown interrupt router.
p If a PCI interrupt router is not known, normally interrupt configuration will not be touched.
p But if .Em PCIBIOS_INTR_GUESS is specified in addition to the .Em PCI_INTR_FIXUP , and if a PCI interrupt routing table entry indicates that only one IRQ is available for the entry, the IRQ is assumed to be already connected to the device, and corresponding PCI Interrupt Configuration Register will be configured accordingly. t Nm PCIINTR_DEBUG make the .Em PCI_INTR_FIXUP procedure verbose. .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr cardbus 4 , .Xr pci 4 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm code appeared in .Nx 1.5 . .Sh BUGS The .Em PCIBIOS_ADDR_FIXUP option may conflict with the PCI CardBus driver's own address fixup.
