The pcmcia
subsystem provides
machine-independent bus support and drivers for PCMCIA (PC Card)
devices.
OpenBSD provides support for the following devices. Note that not all architectures support all devices.
The supported PCMCIA controllers are those that are i82365 compatible.
On some pcmcia
adapters, for instance the
sbus(4)-based
stp(4), the pcmcia
bus will be mapped in big-endian format instead of the natural (and
preferred) little endian format. Unfortunately such controllers lack the
hardware facility to swap bytes, and it is not efficient to convert all
drivers to always know about this. While 8 bit drivers can invisibly work on
such a bus, 16 bit drivers will need modification to handle this. So far,
wi(4) is the only driver to require these
modifications.
If the pcmcia
adapter is not
detected, or if pcmcia
events (such as card
insertion) do not occur, there may be a PCI card BIOS mapped in the same
memory space the pcmcia
driver is configured to use
(this is often the case with Ethernet card boot ROMs). The output from
dmesg(8) should contain a line beginning
with “bios0” that lists the memory address and size of mapped
regions. If there is a conflict, you can use
boot_config(8) to change the iomem
parameter of the pcic device to a non-overlapping address,
such as 0xd8000 for
pcic0. Some
experimentation may be required to find a working value; in some cases the
size parameter of the pcic device may need to be decreased
to avoid a conflict.
The pcmcia
driver appeared in
OpenBSD 2.3.
