- <title>Supported Devices</title>
-
- <para>This section describes the devices currently known to be
- supported by with &os; on the &arch.print; platform. Other
- configurations may also work, but simply have not been tested yet.
- Feedback, updates, and corrections to this list are
- encouraged.</para>
-
- <para>Where possible, the drivers applicable to each device or class
- of devices is listed. If the driver in question has a manual page
- in the &os; base distribution (most should), it is referenced
- here.</para>
-
- <sect2>
- <title>PCI Hardware</title>
-
- <para>In general, any device for which there is a driver can be
- made to work on sparc64. Some drivers might just work, others
- might require some changes (because this is the first big-endian
- architecture to be supported by &os;).</para>
-
- <para>The following drivers are known to work:</para>

- <title>ISA Hardware</title>
-
- <para>The paragraph about PCI drivers apply to ISA drivers as
- well, but with the notable exception that ISA DMA is not yet
- supported. This are generally on-board devices; there are no
- &tm.ultrasparc; boxes with ISA slots that the authors are aware
- of.</para>

- <sect2>
- <title>EBus Hardware</title>
-
- <para>The EBus is specific to Sun hardware, so drivers need to
- have support added to work with these devices. It is quite
- similar to ISA, so that ISA drivers can usually be easily
- ported, provided that they use the bus space interface, and not
- in[bwl]/out[bwl] and related functions. DMA is not yet
- supported.</para>
