SBUS(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual SBUS(4)NAME
SBus — introduction to machine-independent SBus bus support and drivers
SYNOPSIS
sbus* at mainbus?
sbus* at iommu?
sbus* at xbox?
These
SBus attachments are specific to the NetBSD/sparc and NetBSD/sparc64
ports.
DESCRIPTION
SBus is a I/O interconnect bus mostly found in SPARC workstations and
small to medium server class systems. It supports both on-board periph‐
erals and extension boards. The SBus specifications define the bus pro‐
tocol as well as the electrical and mechanical properties of the exten‐
sion slots.
