NAME

pcic - Intel i82365SL PC Card Interface Controller

DESCRIPTION

The Intel i82365SL PC Card interface controller provides one or more
PCMCIA PC card sockets. The pcic driver implements a PCMCIA bus nexus
driver.


The driver provides basic support for the Intel 82365SL and
compatible chips. Tested chips are:

o Intel -- 82365SL.

o Cirrus Logic -- PD6710/PD6720/PD6722.

o Vadem -- VG365/VG465/VG468/VG469.

o Toshiba -- PCIC and ToPIC

o Ricoh -- RF5C366/RL5C466/RL5C475/RL5C476/RL5C477/RL5C478.

o 02Micro -- OZ6912/6972.

o Texas Instruments --
PCI1130/PCI1131/PCI1031/PCI1221/PCI1225/PCI1520/PCI
1410/PCI1420/PCI4520/PCI7510/PCI7621.


While most systems using one of the above chips will work, some
systems are not supported due to hardware designs options that may
not be software detectable.


Direct access to the PCMCIA hardware is not supported. All device
access must be through the DDI.

CONFIGURATION

Configuration of PC Card interface controllers are automatically done
in the system by leveraging ACPI on x86 (or OBP on SPARC).
Configuration includes allocation of device memory, I/O ports,
CardBus subordinary bus number and interrupts. There is no user-
interference required. Note that the controller may not work when
ACPI is disabled.


There is one driver configuration property defined in the pcic.conf
file:

interrupt-priorities=6;
This property must be defined and must
be below 10.
