π ISPI(4) π
ok so this is a page from the Kernel Interfaces Manual β yes, the kernel interfaces manual, we're doing big-kid stuff today bestie, and the star of the show is ispi π
β¨ NAME β¨
ispi β the Intel LPSS SPI controller. that's it, that's the whole name. short, iconic, no notes π
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
ispi* at acpi?
ispi* at pci?
so ispi can show up two ways β hanging off acpi? or hanging off pci?. pick your fighter, both are valid, the * and the ? are doing their whole wildcard thing exactly like you'd expect π¦
π«Ά DESCRIPTION π«Ά
okay so real talk: the ispi driver supports the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) controller that's baked into the Intel Low-Power Subsystem (LPSS). that's the whole description bestie, it's a short one β lowkey the manpage equivalent of a clean five-second get-ready-with-me π
ngl if you were hoping for a whole novel of options and flags, this is not that page. it's a device driver page. it does one thing and it does it π
π₯ SEE ALSO π₯

fr fr go read both, they're right there π
π HISTORY π
the ispi device driver first appeared in OpenBSD 7.9 β so it's genuinely new-new, fresh out the box, main character energy from day one π§
that's the whole page!! short and slay π this was the ispi page from the Kernel Interfaces Manual β sourced from Debian, dated April 13, 2026 π bye bestie, go read acpi(4) and pci(4) π
