2 # FMC (ANSI-VITA 57.1) bus support
9 FMC (FPGA Mezzanine Carrier) is a mechanical and electrical
10 standard for mezzanine cards that plug into a carrier board.
11 This kernel subsystem supports the matching between carrier
12 and mezzanine based on identifiers stored in the internal I2C
13 EEPROM, as well as having carrier-independent drivers.
15 The framework was born outside of the kernel and at this time
16 the off-tree code base is more complete. Code and documentation
17 is at git://ohwr.org/fmc-projects/fmc-bus.git .
22 tristate "FMC fake device (software testing)"
24 This is a fake carrier, bringing a default EEPROM content
25 that can be rewritten at run time and usef for matching
29 tristate "FMC trivial mezzanine driver (software testing)"
31 This is a fake mezzanine driver, to show how FMC works and test it.
32 The driver also handles interrupts (we used it with a real carrier
33 before the mezzanines were produced)
35 config FMC_WRITE_EEPROM
36 tristate "FMC mezzanine driver to write I2C EEPROM"
38 This driver matches every mezzanine device and can write the
39 internal EEPROM of the PCB, using the firmware loader to get
40 its binary and the function carrier->reprogram to actually do it.
41 It is useful when the mezzanines are produced.
44 tristate "FMC mezzanine driver that registers a char device"
46 This driver matches every mezzanine device and allows user
47 space to read and write registers using a char device. It
48 can be used to write user-space drivers, or just get
49 acquainted with a mezzanine before writing its specific driver.
