SMBus, 111da177e4SLinus Torvalds or System Management Bus is a subset of the I2C protocol. More 121da177e4SLinus Torvalds information is contained in the directory <file:Documentation/i2c/>, 131da177e4SLinus Torvalds especially in the file called "summary" there. 141da177e4SLinus Torvalds 151da177e4SLinus Torvalds Both I2C and SMBus are supported here. You will need this for 161da177e4SLinus Torvalds hardware sensors support, and also for Video For Linux support. 171da177e4SLinus Torvalds 181da177e4SLinus Torvalds If you want I2C support, you should say Y here and also to the 191da177e4SLinus Torvalds specific driver for your bus adapter(s) below. 201da177e4SLinus Torvalds 211da177e4SLinus Torvalds This I2C support can also be built as a module. If so, the module 221da177e4SLinus Torvalds will be called i2c-core. 231da177e4SLinus Torvalds 2416538e6bSJan Engelhardtif I2C 2516538e6bSJan Engelhardt 269c1600edSDavid Brownellconfig I2C_BOARDINFO 279c1600edSDavid Brownell boolean 289c1600edSDavid Brownell default y 299c1600edSDavid Brownell 302bb5095aSJean Delvareconfig I2C_COMPAT 312bb5095aSJean Delvare boolean "Enable compatibility bits for old user-space" 322bb5095aSJean Delvare default y 332bb5095aSJean Delvare help 342bb5095aSJean Delvare Say Y here if you intend to run lm-sensors 3.1.1 or older, or any 352bb5095aSJean Delvare other user-space package which expects i2c adapters to be class 362bb5095aSJean Delvare devices.
