.Sh NAME
.Nm pchb
.Nd PCI-Host Bridge
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Cd "pchb* at pci? dev ? function?"
.Cd "pci* at pchb?
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
driver provides support for PCI-Host adapter-specific functions for
the following devices:
.Pp
.Bl -tag -width -offset indent -compact
.It 450 PCIset (Orion)
Supports secondary PCI bus.
.It 82424ZX (Saturn)
Disables CPU-PCI write posting.
.It i82810/810E
Supports the random numbers generator,
supplying random bytes from the system's thermal noise.
Driven by periodic checks for available data from the generator,
it supplies entropy to the
.Xr random 4
driver for common usage.
.El
.Pp
On i386 systems all other PCI devices of class
.Nm Bridge
and sub-class
.Nm Bridge Host
are supported just as PCI attachment point.
.Pp
The Power-PC port supports several Apple and Motorola brdges.
.Pp
.Sh SEE LASO
.Xr intro 4 ,
.Xr pci 4 ,
.Xr random 4
.Sh HISTORY
Random number generator support first appeared in
.Ox 2.7 .
.Sh AUTHORS
The original version of the driver was ported from
.Nx .
Support for true RNG present on i82810 chips was added by
Michael Shalayeff <mickey@openbsd.org>.
.Sh BUGS
Real RNG probe should fix the PCI scanning loop so it would find the Firmware
Hub (i82802) which actually contains the RNG device and
probe it as a real PCI device (i.e., common PCI registers are there).
