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.

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

53 help
54 Say Y here if you want the I2C core to support the ability to
55 handle multiplexed I2C bus topologies, by presenting each
56 multiplexed segment as a I2C adapter.
57
58 This support is also available as a module. If so, the module
59 will be called i2c-mux.

66 help
67 Some I2C bus drivers require so-called "I2C algorithm" modules
68 to work. These are basically software-only abstractions of generic
69 I2C interfaces. This option will autoselect them so that you don't
70 have to care.
71
72 Unselect this only if you need to enable additional helper
73 modules, for example for use with external I2C bus drivers.
74
75 In doubt, say Y.

81 specification. At the moment, the only supported extension is
82 the SMBus alert protocol.

85 will be called i2c-smbus.
