SMBus, 101da177e4SLinus Torvalds or System Management Bus is a subset of the I2C protocol. More 111da177e4SLinus Torvalds information is contained in the directory <file:Documentation/i2c/>, 121da177e4SLinus Torvalds especially in the file called "summary" there. 131da177e4SLinus Torvalds 141da177e4SLinus Torvalds Both I2C and SMBus are supported here. You will need this for 151da177e4SLinus Torvalds hardware sensors support, and also for Video For Linux support. 161da177e4SLinus Torvalds 171da177e4SLinus Torvalds If you want I2C support, you should say Y here and also to the 181da177e4SLinus Torvalds specific driver for your bus adapter(s) below. 191da177e4SLinus Torvalds 201da177e4SLinus Torvalds This I2C support can also be built as a module. If so, the module 211da177e4SLinus Torvalds will be called i2c-core. 221da177e4SLinus Torvalds 23*16538e6bSJan Engelhardtif I2C 24*16538e6bSJan Engelhardt 259c1600edSDavid Brownellconfig I2C_BOARDINFO 269c1600edSDavid Brownell boolean 279c1600edSDavid Brownell default y 289c1600edSDavid Brownell 291da177e4SLinus Torvaldsconfig I2C_CHARDEV 301da177e4SLinus Torvalds tristate "I2C device interface" 311da177e4SLinus Torvalds help 321da177e4SLinus Torvalds Say Y here to use i2c-* device files, usually found in the /dev 331da177e4SLinus Torvalds directory on your system. They make it possible to have user-space 341da177e4SLinus Torvalds programs use the I2C bus.
