SYNOPSIS
ebus* at pci?
DESCRIPTION
The
EBus bus is designed to provide the ability to put ISA and
traditional Intel-style peripherals in a SPARC based system with a minimal
amount of glue logic. Typically, it is implemented in the PCIO IC from SME,
which also implements a
hme(4)
compatible PCI network device (‘
network
’).
The
EBus has four DMA channels, similar to the DMA seen in
the
esp(4) SCSI DMA.
