FDTBUS(4)	       FreeBSD Kernel Interfaces Manual		     FDTBUS(4)

NAME
     fdtbus -- Flattened Device	Tree bus driver

SYNOPSIS
     options FDT

DESCRIPTION
     The fdtbus	abstract bus driver is the primary connection and translation
     layer between fdt(4) hardware resources description and FreeBSD native
     newbus device drivers framework.  For an embedded system fdtbus repre-
     sents peripherals typically found on a highly integrated chip (system-on-
     chip).

     The fdtbus	driver provides	generic, common	infrastructure for all fdt(4)
     oriented device drivers, and its main responsibilities are	the following:

     +o	 Creating newbus children that reflect fdt(4) nodes in the flattened
	 device	tree.

     +o	 Managing SYS_RES_IRQ resources.

     +o	 Managing SYS_RES_MEMORY, SYS_RES_IOPORT resources.
