bcma — Broadcom AMBA Backplane driver

Authors

       The bcma driver was written by Landon Fuller <landonf@FreeBSD.org>.

Debian                                            June 3, 2016                                           BCMA(4)

Description

       The  bcma  driver  provides  bhnd(4)  support for devices using the ARM AMBA-based backplane architecture
       found in later Broadcom Home Networking Division's network chipsets and embedded systems.

       A common interconnect connects all of the backplane's functional blocks.  These functional blocks,  known
       as cores, use the ARM AMBA AXI or APB interface to communicate with devices attached to the interconnect.

       The  IP  cores  used  in  siba(4)  devices  were  adapted  by  Broadcom  for  compatibility  with the new
       interconnect.

History

       The bcma device driver first appeared in FreeBSD 11.0.
