# NAME

`ibmcd` —
support for the IBM 4810 BSP cash drawer port

# SYNOPSIS

`ibmcd* at at pci ? dev ? function ?`
`gpio* at ibmcd?`

# DESCRIPTION

The `ibmcd` driver controls the cash drawer port of the IBM 4810 BSP PCI device found in IBM point of sale terminals (e.g. in the SurePOS 300 series) using the GPIO subsystem.

`ibmcd` provides a GPIO device with three pins: pin 0 is used to control the cash drawer while pin 1 can be used to read the current state of the sense input pin. A logical 0 means the cash drawer is closed, a logical 1 means the cash drawer is open.

Pin 2 reports if a cash drawer is connected. A logical 0 means there is no cash drawer connected, a logical 1 means the cash drawer is connected.

To open the cash drawer, set pin 0 to logical 1. There is no need to reset pin 0 to logical 0 afterwards as the device generates a oneshot impulse.
