The em4k
driver provides support for the PCI bus present
on Mediator 4000 bridge and associated PCI/Zorro daughterboards.
The em4k
driver supports the following hardware:
- ELBOX Mediator PCI 4000D
-
- ELBOX Mediator PCI 4000Di
-
- ELBOX Mediator PCI 4000T
-
- ELBOX Mediator PCI 3000D
-
- ELBOX Mediator PCI 3000T
-
MK-II editions are also supported.
The em4k
device first appeared in
NetBSD 7.0.
The em4k
driver was written by Radoslaw
Kujawa
<radoslaw.kujawa@gmail.com>.
It was developed using information obtained through reverse engineering by
Frank Wille and Radoslaw
Kujawa. The authors have no access to official documentation (which is
only available under NDA).
DMA to host memory is not supported. It is unclear if the hardware supports DMA
to host memory at all. It is possible to implement DMA through bounce buffers
in graphics card memory, but this needs further research.
