Chapter 17: EISA Device Drivers


The EISA (Extended Industry Standard Architecture) bus is supported by the Silicon Graphics Indigo2, POWER Indigo2(TM), and Indigo2 Maximum IMPACT(TM) systems, and the Challenge M. This chapter contains the following topics related to support for the EISA bus:

Note: Often it is most practical to control an EISA device through programmed I/O from a user-level process. For information on PIO, turn to "EISA Programmed I/O" after reading "The EISA Bus in Silicon Graphics Systems". For information on the general architecture of a kernel-level device driver, see Part III, "Kernel-Level Drivers."
