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

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

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

50config I2C_HELPER_AUTO
51 bool "Autoselect pertinent helper modules"
52 default y
53 help
54 Some I2C bus drivers require so-called "I2C algorithm" modules
55 to work. These are basically software-only abstractions of generic
56 I2C interfaces. This option will autoselect them so that you don't
57 have to care.
58
59 Unselect this only if you need to enable additional helper
60 modules, for example for use with external I2C bus drivers.
61
62 In doubt, say Y.

67 Say Y here if you want support for SMBus extensions to the I2C
68 specification. At the moment, the only supported extension is
69 the SMBus alert protocol.
70
71 This support is also available as a module. If so, the module
72 will be called i2c-smbus.
