32.Dt NELL 4 sparc
33.Os
34.Sh NAME
35.Nm nell
36.Nd sbus pcmcia bridge
37.Sh SYNOPSIS
38# only needed for 32bit sparcs (remove the options line on sparc64):
39.Cd "options FULL_SPARC_BUS_SPACE"
40.Cd "nell* at sbus? slot ? offset ? flags 0"
41.Cd "pcmcia* at nell? controller ? socket ?"
42.Sh DESCRIPTION
43The
44.Nm
45is a pcmcia bridge for the sbus.
46It is also known as STP4020, the name
47of the chipset used to implement it, and has SUN part number 501-2367.
48.Pp
49The firmware assigns two interrupt levels to the nell, but the driver only
50needs a single interrupt.
51Depending on distribution of interrupt levels on your machine you might
52prefer the driver to use either the first (use flags value 0) or the second
53(use flags value 1).
54.Sh KERNEL THREAD
55Each
56.Nm
57instance creates a kernel thread, named like the instance.
58This thread is used to watch for card insertions and removals, and
59handling the attachment and initialization of the card's driver.
