.Sh NAME
.Nm CPU_ELAN
.Nd AMD Elan 520 CPU support
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Cd "options CPU_ELAN"
.Cd "options CPU_ELAN_PPS"
.Cd "options CPU_ELAN_XTAL"
.Bl -item -compact
.It
.Va machdep.elan_gpio_config
.It

.El
.Cd "options CPU_SOEKRIS"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Cd "options CPU_ELAN"
enables support for the AMD Elan 520 CPU.
.Pp
A device
.Pa /dev/elan-mmcr
exports the MMCR register bank to userland
using
.Xr mmap 2 .
.Pp
The
.Tn i8254
timer will be adjusted to the slightly unorthodox
frequency 1189161 Hz (32768 * 45 * 25 / 31) employed by the Elan.
.Pp
A timecounter named
.Dq Li ELAN
is implemented using the general purpose timer 2,
but it will not be usable unless HZ is configured at 150 or higher.
This timecounter is much better than the
.Dq Li i8254
timecounter and should be
used at all times.
.Pp
The
.Va machdep.elan_gpio_config
.Xr sysctl 8
variable
enables configuration of the GPIO pins of the CPU.
The string must be exactly 32 characters long.
A
.Ql -
means the GPIO is unavailable.
A
.Ql l
(lower-case ell) configures a
.Xr led 4
device (active low).
A
.Ql L
configures a
.Xr led 4
device (active high).
A
.Ql \&.
means no configuration for this GPIO.
These
.Xr led 4
devices will be named
.Pa /dev/led/gpio%d .
For meaning of
.Ql P ,
.Ql e
and
.Ql E ,
see under
.Cd "options CPU_ELAN_PPS" .
.Pp
The
.Cd "options CPU_ELAN_XTAL"
and the
.Va machdep.elan_freq
.Xr sysctl 8
variable
can be used to set the CPU clock crystal frequency in Hz.
The default is 33333333 Hz.
.Pp
The
.Cd "options CPU_ELAN_PPS"
enables precision timestamping using the RFC2783 PPS-API via the
.Pa /dev/elan-mmcr
device.
The resolution will be approximately 125 nsec
and the precision \(+- 125 nsec.
(For 125 nsec read
.Dq "4 / CPU clock crystal frequency" . )
.Pp
The input signal must be connected to the TMR1IN pin and
a GPIO pin.
The GPIO pin must be configured with a
.Ql P
in
.Va machdep.elan_gpio_config .
.Pp
In addition, one GPIO pin can be configured with either
.Ql e
(active low)
or
.Ql E
(active high) to become a
.Dq echo
output of the input signal.
Please notice that this signal is not suitable for calibration.
.Pp
If the
.Cd "options CPU_SOEKRIS"
is given, the support will additionally be tailored to the
Soekris Engineering 45xx series of embedded computers.
The
.Dq error
led will be configured (as
.Pa /dev/led/error )
and the GPIO pins which are not
available will be disabled.
