622e040d 9 I2C (pronounce: I-squared-C) is a slow serial bus protocol used in
1da177e4
LT
10 many micro controller applications and developed by Philips. SMBus,
11 or System Management Bus is a subset of the I2C protocol. More
12 information is contained in the directory <file:Documentation/i2c/>,
13 especially in the file called "summary" there.
14
15 Both I2C and SMBus are supported here. You will need this for
16 hardware sensors support, and also for Video For Linux support.
17
18 If you want I2C support, you should say Y here and also to the
19 specific driver for your bus adapter(s) below.
20
21 This I2C support can also be built as a module. If so, the module
22 will be called i2c-core.

34 Say Y here if you intend to run lm-sensors 3.1.1 or older, or any
35 other user-space package which expects i2c adapters to be class
36 devices. If you don't know, say Y.

41 Say Y here to use i2c-* device files, usually found in the /dev
42 directory on your system. They make it possible to have user-space
43 programs use the I2C bus. Information on how to do this is
44 contained in the file <file:Documentation/i2c/dev-interface>.
45
46 This support is also available as a module. If so, the module
47 will be called i2c-dev.

52 help
53 Say Y here if you want the I2C core to support the ability to
54 handle multiplexed I2C bus topologies, by presenting each
55 multiplexed segment as a I2C adapter.
56
57 This support is also available as a module. If so, the module
58 will be called i2c-mux.

65 help
66 Some I2C bus drivers require so-called "I2C algorithm" modules
67 to work. These are basically software-only abstractions of generic
68 I2C interfaces. This option will autoselect them so that you don't
69 have to care.
70
71 Unselect this only if you need to enable additional helper
72 modules, for example for use with external I2C bus drivers.
73
74 In doubt, say Y.

79 Say Y here if you want support for SMBus extensions to the I2C
80 specification. At the moment, the only supported extension is
81 the SMBus alert protocol.
82
83 This support is also available as a module. If so, the module
84 will be called i2c-smbus.

94 This module may be useful to developers of SMBus client drivers,
