| help |
| The "Serial Peripheral Interface" is a low level synchronous |
| protocol. Chips that support SPI can have data transfer rates |
| up to several tens of Mbit/sec. Chips are addressed with a |
| controller and a chipselect. Most SPI slaves don't support |
| dynamic device discovery; some are even write-only or read-only. |
| |
| SPI is widely used by microcontollers to talk with sensors, |
| eeprom and flash memory, codecs and various other controller |
| chips, analog to digital (and d-to-a) converters, and more. |
| MMC and SD cards can be accessed using SPI protocol; and for |
| DataFlash cards used in MMC sockets, SPI must always be used. |
| |
| SPI is one of a family of similar protocols using a four wire |
| interface (select, clock, data in, data out) including Microwire |
| (half duplex), SSP, SSI, and PSP. This driver framework should |
| work with most such devices and controllers. |

| Say "yes" to enable debug messaging (like dev_dbg and pr_debug), |
| sysfs, and debugfs support in SPI controller and protocol drivers. |

| If your system has an master-capable SPI controller (which |
| provides the clock and chipselect), you can enable that |
| controller and the protocol drivers for the SPI slave chips |
| that are connected. |

| config SPI_BITBANG |
| tristate "Bitbanging SPI master" |
| depends on SPI_MASTER && EXPERIMENTAL |
| help |
| With a few GPIO pins, your system can bitbang the SPI protocol. |
| Select this to get SPI support through I/O pins (GPIO, parallel |
| port, etc). Or, some systems' SPI master controller drivers use |
| this code to manage the per-word or per-transfer accesses to the |
| hardware shift registers. |
| |
| This is library code, and is automatically selected by drivers that |
| need it. You only need to select this explicitly to support driver |
| modules that aren't part of this kernel tree. |

| help |
| This uses a custom parallel port cable to connect to an AVR |
| Butterfly <http://www.atmel.com/products/avr/butterfly>, an |
| inexpensive battery powered microcontroller evaluation board. |
| This same cable can be used to flash new firmware. |
