| 9 | ---help--- |
| 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. |

| 28 | help |
| 29 | Say Y here to use i2c-* device files, usually found in the /dev |
| 30 | directory on your system. They make it possible to have user-space |
| 31 | programs use the I2C bus. Information on how to do this is |
| 32 | contained in the file <file:Documentation/i2c/dev-interface>. |
| 33 | |
| 34 | This support is also available as a module. If so, the module |
| 35 | will be called i2c-dev. |
