19.Os
20.Sh NAME
21.Nm ichpcib
22.Nd Intel ICHx/ICHx-M LPC bridges
23.Sh SYNOPSIS
24.Cd "ichpcib* at pci?"
25.Cd "isa* at ichpcib?"
26.Sh DESCRIPTION
27The
28.Nm
29driver supports Intel
30.Tn ICH ,
31.Tn ICH0 ,
32.Tn ICH2 ,
33.Tn ICH2-M ,
34.Tn ICH3-S ,
35.Tn ICH3-M ,
36.Tn ICH4 ,
37.Tn ICH4-M ,
38.Tn ICH5 ,
39.Tn ICH6 ,
40.Tn ICH7 ,
41.Tn ICH7-M ,
42.Tn ICH8 ,
43.Tn ICH8-M ,
44.Tn ICH9 ,
45.Tn 6300ESB
46and
47.Tn 6321ESB
48LPC bridges.
49These devices are mostly usual
50.Tn PCI-ISA
51bridges but with some additional power management and monitoring
52capabilities.
53Besides the core functionality, the
54.Nm
55driver provides support for the Intel SpeedStep technology, available
56for the
57.Tn ICH2-M ,
58.Tn ICH3-M ,
59and
60.Tn ICH4-M
61chipsets, and power management timer available for all chipsets.
62It allows the user to control CPU frequency with the
63.Xr sysctl 8
64program.
65.Sh SEE ALSO
66.Xr cpu 4 ,
67.Xr intro 4 ,
68.Xr isa 4 ,
69.Xr pci 4 ,
70.Xr sysctl 8
71.Sh HISTORY
72Intel SpeedStep support for the ICHx-M chipsets first appeared in
73.Ox 3.5
74as part of the
75.Xr pcib 4
76driver.
77The
78.Nm
79driver first appeared in
80.Ox 3.6 .
81.Sh AUTHORS
82The
83.Nm
84driver was written by
85.An Alexander Yurchenko Aq Mt grange@openbsd.org .
86.Sh CAVEATS
87On some old machines with the
88.Tn ICH2-M
89chipset, Intel SpeedStep isn't available.
