| 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. |

| 59 | Unselect this only if you need to enable additional helper |
| 60 | modules, for example for use with external I2C bus drivers. |
