.Nd Intel Atom E600 series LPC bridge, timecounter and watchdog timer
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Cd "tcpcib* at pci?"
.Cd "isa* at tcpcib?"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
driver provides support for the Intel Atom E600 series LPC bridge and
implements a 64-bit 14.3 MHz timecounter using the HPET timer.
.Pp
The
.Nm
driver also provides the standard
.Xr watchdog 4
interface to the watchdog timer and may be used with
.Xr watchdogd 8 .
The watchdog timer can be configured via
.Xr sysctl 8 .
.Pp
Once the watchdog timer resets the CPU, the driver reports it on the
next boot displaying the ``reboot on timeout'' message in the
.Xr dmesg 8 .
.Pp
The maximum timeout value supported by the watchdog timer is 600
seconds.
