If a mode is provided at startup through the .Va flags variable of the boot interface, the operating mode of the chipset is forced according to .Va flags and the hardware supported modes. .Pp During the attach phase, .Nm allocates a ppbus structure, initializes it and calls the ppbus attach function. .Ss Supported flags .Bl -item -offset indent .It bits 0-3: chipset forced mode(s) .Bd -literal PPB_COMPATIBLE 0x0 /* Centronics compatible mode */ PPB_NIBBLE 0x1 /* reverse 4 bit mode */ PPB_PS2 0x2 /* PS/2 byte mode */ PPB_EPP 0x4 /* EPP mode, 32 bit */ PPB_ECP 0x8 /* ECP mode */ .Ed .Pp And any mixed values. .It bit 4: EPP protocol (0 EPP 1.9, 1 EPP 1.7) .It bit 5: activate IRQ (1 IRQ disabled, 0 IRQ enabled) .It bit 6: disable chipset specific detection .It bit 7: disable FIFO detection .El .Ss Supported chipsets Some parallel port chipsets are explicitly supported: detection and initialisation code has been written according to their datasheets. .Bl -bullet -offset indent .It SMC FDC37C665GT and FDC37C666GT chipsets .It Natsemi PC873xx-family (PC87332 and PC87306) .It Winbond W83877xx-family (W83877F and W83877AF) .It SMC-like chipsets with mixed modes (see .Xr ppbus 4 ) .El .Ss Adding support to a new chipset You may want to add support for the newest chipset your motherboard was sold with. For the ISA bus, just retrieve the specs of the chipset and write the corresponding .Fn ppc_mychipset_detect "" function. Then add an entry to the general purpose .Fn ppc_detect "" function. .Pp Your .Fn ppc_mychipset_detect "" function should ensure that if the mode field of the .Va flags boot variable is not null, then the operating mode is forced to the given mode and no other mode is available and ppb->ppb_avm field contains the available modes of the chipset. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr ppbus 4 , .Xr ppi 4 , .Xr device.hints 5 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm manual page first appeared in .Fx 3.0 . .Sh AUTHORS This manual page was written by .An Nicolas Souchu . .Sh BUGS The chipset detection process may corrupt your chipset configuration. You may disable chipset specific detection by using the above flags.
