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

| default y | |
| help | |
| Say Y here if you intend to run lm-sensors 3.1.1 or older, or any | |
| other user-space package which expects i2c adapters to be class | |
| devices. If you don't know, say Y. | |
| config I2C_CHARDEV | |
| tristate "I2C device interface" | |
| help | |
| Say Y here to use i2c-* device files, usually found in the /dev | |
| directory on your system. They make it possible to have user-space | |
| programs use the I2C bus. Information on how to do this is | |
| contained in the file <file:Documentation/i2c/dev-interface>. | |
| This support is also available as a module. If so, the module | |
| will be called i2c-dev. | |
| config I2C_MUX | |
| tristate "I2C bus multiplexing support" | |
| depends on HAS_IOMEM | |
| help | |
| Say Y here if you want the I2C core to support the ability to | |
| handle multiplexed I2C bus topologies, by presenting each | |
| multiplexed segment as a I2C adapter. | |
| This support is also available as a module. If so, the module | |
| will be called i2c-mux. | |

| config I2C_HELPER_AUTO | |
| bool "Autoselect pertinent helper modules" | |
| default y | |
| help | |
| Some I2C bus drivers require so-called "I2C algorithm" modules | |
| to work. These are basically software-only abstractions of generic | |
| I2C interfaces. This option will autoselect them so that you don't | |
| have to care. | |
| Unselect this only if you need to enable additional helper | |
| modules, for example for use with external I2C bus drivers. | |
| In doubt, say Y. | |
| config I2C_SMBUS | |
| tristate "SMBus-specific protocols" if !I2C_HELPER_AUTO | |
| depends on GENERIC_HARDIRQS | |
| help | |
| Say Y here if you want support for SMBus extensions to the I2C | |
| specification. At the moment, the only supported extension is | |
| the SMBus alert protocol. | |
| This support is also available as a module. If so, the module | |
| will be called i2c-smbus. | |

| help | |
| This module may be useful to developers of SMBus client drivers, | |
| especially for certain kinds of sensor chips. | |
| If you do build this module, be sure to read the notes and warnings | |
| in <file:Documentation/i2c/i2c-stub>. | |
| If you don't know what to do here, definitely say N. | |
