30.Dt EBUS 4
31.Os
32.Sh NAME
33.Nm EBus
34.Nd introduction to SPARC EBus bus support and drivers
35.Sh SYNOPSIS
36.Cd "ebus* at pci?"
37.Sh DESCRIPTION
38The
39.Nm
40bus is designed to provide the ability to put ISA and traditional
41Intel-style peripherals in a SPARC based system with a minimal amount
42of glue logic.
43Typically, it is implemented in the PCIO IC from SME, which also
44implements a
45.Xr hme 4
46compatible PCI network device
47.Pf ( Ql network ) .
48The
49.Nm
50has four DMA channels, similar to the DMA seen in the
51.Xr esp 4
52.\" XXX: prevent SC-SI
53.hw SCSI
54SCSI DMA.
