A hardware +device may be supported with a character or block +.Em device driver , +or it may be used within the networking subsystem and have a +.Em network interface driver . +Block and character devices are accessed through files in the file +system of a special type; see +.Xr mknod 8 . +Network interfaces are indirectly accessed through the interprocess +communication facilities provided by the system; see +.Xr socket 2 . +.Pp +A hardware device is identified to the system at configuration time +and the appropriate device or network interface driver is then compiled +into the system. When the resultant system is booted, the +autoconfiguration facilities in the system probe for the device +and, if found, enable the software support for it. +If a device does not respond at autoconfiguration +time it is not accessible at any time afterwards. +To enable a device which did not autoconfigure, +the system will have to be rebooted. +.Pp +The autoconfiguration system is described in +.Xr macppc/autoconf 4 . +A list of the supported devices is given below. +.Sh SEE ALSO +.Xr config 1 , +.Xr gem 4 , +.Xr macppc/autoconf 4 , +.Xr macppc/awacs 4 , +.Xr macppc/bm 4 , +.Xr mc 4 , +.Xr tlp 4 +.Sh HISTORY +The +.Tn macppc +.Nm intro +man page first appeared in +.Nx 1.5.1 , +based on the +.Nx Ns /mac68k +.Xr macppc/intro 4 . +.Sh LIST OF DEVICES +The devices listed below are supported in this incarnation of +the system. +Devices are indicated by their functional interface. +Not all supported devices are listed. +.Pp +PCMCIA devices are supported through the +.Xr pcmcia 4 +bus and associated devices. +.Pp +Cardbus devices are supported through the +.Xr cardbus 4 +bus and associated devices. +.Pp +USB devices are supported through the +.Xr usb 4 +bus and associated devices. +.Pp +Additionally, the following specific devices are supported: +.Bl -tag -width "xxxxxxxx" -compact -offset indent +.It Em adb +Apple Desktop Bus event interface. +.It Em awacs +Audio Waveform Amplifier and Converter \(em Apple Sound Chip +(supported systems include 603 and 604 based +machines, and +.Tn Open Firmware 3 +based machines). +.It Em bm +BMac Ethernet. +.It Em de +DECchip 21x4x based Ethernet cards (see also +.Xr tlp 4 ) . +.It Em esp +.Tn NCR +53C9x built-in SCSI interface. +.It Em gm +GMac Ethernet. +.It Em kmem +kernel virtual memory. +.It Em mc +MACE Ethernet. +.It Em mem +physical memory. +.It Em mesh +MESH built-in SCSI interface (most Old World machines up to the 1999 +series of G3 PowerBooks). +.It Em nvram +NVRAM access. +.It Em ofb +PCI based frame buffer with +.Tn Open Firmware +support. +.It Em openfirm +.Tn Open Firmware +access. +.It Em tlp +DECchip 21x4x based Ethernet cards. +.It Em wdc +Standard on-board IDE controller. +.It Em zsc +.Tn Zilog +Z8530 built-in serial interface. +.El |
