like, all three. no notes. 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so nctgpio is literally the driver for the GPIO controller that lives inside Nuvoton and Winbond Super I/O chips. it's giving "small chip, big responsibilities" energy fr fr. 👑

and it supports these chips, bestie — a whole lil roster:

  • Nuvoton NCT5104D
  • Nuvoton NCT5104D (PC-Engines APU)
  • Nuvoton NCT5104D (PC-Engines APU3)

⭐ HISTORY ⭐

the driver first appeared in FreeBSD 11.0. and the manual page? little late to the party, it first appeared in FreeBSD 14.0. we love a glow-up era. ✨

👑 AUTHORS 👑

the driver was initially written by Daniel Wyatt <daniel@dewyatt.com> — legend behavior honestly.

and this man page was written by Stéphane Rochoy <stephane.rochoy@stormshield.eu>. giving main character energy in the docs department. 🫶
