AW_SYSCON(4)

πŸ“¦ version 14.5, in freebsd 14.5

πŸ’… AW_SYSCON(4) πŸ’…

ok so this is from the arm Kernel Interfaces Manual β€” welcome bestie, take a seat 🫢

✨ NAME ✨

aw_syscon β€” the driver for the system controller in Allwinner SoC, and yes it's as iconic as it sounds πŸ‘‘

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So the aw_syscon device driver is out here providing support for the Allwinner system controller. Like, what does that even mean? Basically this controller hands you the registers for tying together related functionality in one common space β€” it's giving "group project but everyone actually shows up" ✨

And here's the part that matters: aw_syscon is required for ethernet functionality on supported devices. No cap. No driver, no ethernet. That's the vibe check you cannot fail πŸ’€

πŸ¦‹ HARDWARE πŸ¦‹

The aw_syscon driver supports the system controller with one of the following compatible strings:

  • allwinner,sun50i-a64-system-controller
  • allwinner,sun8i-a83t-system-controller
  • allwinner,sun8i-h3-system-controller

three of them, all iconic, all slaying in their own lane 🌈

πŸŽ€ AUTHORS πŸŽ€

The aw_syscon device driver was written by Kyle Evans <kevans@FreeBSD.org>. king behavior, honestly πŸ‘‘
