# NAME

`geodecntr` —
AMD Geode SC1100 High Resolution Counter

# SYNOPSIS

`geodegcb* at pci? dev ? function ?`
`geodecntr* at geodegcb?`

# DESCRIPTION

The `geodecntr` driver supports the AMD SC1100 controllers and provides a timecounter implementation for the 27MHz counter.

The other timing sources in the SC1100 suffer from power management features that prohibit i8254 and TSC from being used for time keeping. This `geodecntr` driver makes the 27MHz counter available for the timecounter(9) framework.
