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