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 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.
