BHND(4)			    Kernel Interfaces Manual		       BHND(4)

NAME
       bhnd -- Broadcom	Home Networking	Division interconnect bus

SYNOPSIS
       To  compile this	driver into the	kernel,	add the	following lines	to the
       kernel configuration file:

	     device bhnd

       To  load	 the  driver  as  a  module  at	 boot,	add   this   line   to
       loader.conf(5):

	     bhnd_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION
       The  bhnd driver	provides a unified kernel bus interface	to the on-chip
       interconnects used in Broadcom Home Networking Division (HND) devices.

       The Broadcom HND	device family consists of SoCs (System On a Chip)  and
       host-connected  chipsets	based on a common library of Broadcom IP cores
       connected via an	internal hardware bus architecture.  Drivers for these
       cores are implemented against the unified bhnd interface.

       The Sonic Inc. Silicon Backplane	used in	earlier	HND  devices  is  sup-
       ported by the siba(4) BHND driver.

       The  ARM	AMBA-based interconnect	used in	later HND devices is supported
       by the bcma(4) BHND driver.

SEE ALSO
       bcma(4),	bhndb(4), intro(4), siba(4)

HISTORY
       The bhnd	device driver first appeared in	FreeBSD	11.0.

AUTHORS
       The bhnd	driver was written by Landon Fuller <landonf@FreeBSD.org>.

FreeBSD	13.2			 June 3, 2016			       BHND(4)
