FGA(4)		      OpenBSD Programmer's Manual (SPARC)		FGA(4)

NAME
     fga - SPARC Force FGA5000 VME/SBus bridge driver

SYNOPSIS
     fga0 at iommu0
     fvme* at fga0

DESCRIPTION
     The fga driver provides a bridge between SBus and VME interfaces.	It has
     support for accessing VME address and data spaces as if they were SBus
     address ranges, and mapping of VME interrupt levels to SBus interrupts.
     The fga also provides a set of semaphores and mailboxes which are
     accessible from user programs via ioctl(2).

     VME devices are attached to the fvme pseudo-devices, which provide an
     interface for drivers to establish VME level/vectored interrupts and map
     address ranges.  By default the following address ranges are established:

	   Size	      SBus Slot	  SBus Offset	VME Space   VME Offset
	   256MB      1		  0x0000000	A32/D32	    0xf0000000
	   256MB      4		  0x0000000	A32/D16	    0xf0000000
	   16MB	      5		  0xe000000	A24/D16	    0x000000
	   64KB	      5		  0xffc0000	A16/D8	    0x0000
	   64KB	      5		  0xffd0000	A16/D16	    0x0000
	   64KB	      5		  0xffe0000	A16/D32	    0x0000

     The abort switch on the FORCE CPU boards is also controlled by the fga,
     and is enabled if the eeprom variable abort-ena? is set to true.
     Toggling the switch when enabled stops the kernel and starts the kernel
     debugger ddb(4).

IOCTLS
     The fga device responds to the following ioctl(2) calls defined in
     <machine/fgaio.h>:

     FGAIOCSEM	(struct fga_sem) Clear (release) the semaphore fgasem_num.
		The argument structure is defined as follows:

		      struct fga_sem {
			      u_int8_t fgasem_num; /* semaphore number */
			      u_int8_t fgasem_val; /* semaphore value */
		      };

     FGAIOSSEM	(struct fga_sem) Set (attempt to get) the semaphore
		fgasem_num.  If successful, fgasem_val will have a value of 1,
		otherwise it will have a value of 0.

     FGAIOCMBX	(struct fga_sem) Clear (release) the mailbox fgasem_num.

     FGAIOSMBX	(struct fga_sem) Set (attempt to get) the mailbox fgasem_num.
		If successful, fgasem_val will have a value of 1, otherwise it
		will have a value of 0.

HISTORY
     OpenBSD support for the fga first appeared in OpenBSD 2.6.

AUTHORS
     The driver for the fga was written by Jason L. Wright <jason@thought.net>
     under contract with RTMX Incorporated.

BUGS
     There are several features provided by the FGA5000 that are not
     implemented in the driver.	 Most notably, VME slave ranges are not mapped
     and the DMA engine is not used.  Also, several VME interrupts are not
     handled: SYSFAIL and ACFAIL.
