9 config ARCH_MIGHT_HAVE_PC_PARPORT
12 Select this config option from the architecture Kconfig if
13 the architecture might have PC parallel port hardware.
16 tristate "Parallel port support"
19 If you want to use devices connected to your machine's parallel port
20 (the connector at the computer with 25 holes), e.g. printer, ZIP
21 drive, PLIP link (Parallel Line Internet Protocol is mainly used to
22 create a mini network by connecting the parallel ports of two local
23 machines) etc., then you need to say Y here; please read
24 <file:Documentation/admin-guide/parport.rst> and
25 <file:drivers/parport/BUGS-parport>.
27 For extensive information about drivers for many devices attaching
28 to the parallel port see <http://www.torque.net/linux-pp.html> on
31 It is possible to share a single parallel port among several devices
32 and it is safe to compile all the corresponding drivers into the
33 kernel. To compile parallel port support as a module, choose M here:
34 the module will be called parport.
35 If you have more than one parallel port and want to specify which
36 port and IRQ to be used by this driver at module load time, take a
37 look at <file:Documentation/admin-guide/parport.rst>.
44 tristate "PC-style hardware"
45 depends on ARCH_MIGHT_HAVE_PC_PARPORT || PCI
48 You should say Y here if you have a PC-style parallel port. All
49 IBM PC compatible computers and some Alphas have PC-style
50 parallel ports. PA-RISC owners should only say Y here if they
51 have a SuperIO parallel port.
53 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
54 module will be called parport_pc.
59 tristate "Multi-IO cards (parallel and serial)"
60 depends on SERIAL_8250_PCI && PARPORT_PC && PCI
62 This adds support for multi-IO PCI cards that have parallel and
63 serial ports. You should say Y or M here. If you say M, the module
64 will be called parport_serial.
66 config PARPORT_PC_FIFO
67 bool "Use FIFO/DMA if available"
70 Many parallel port chipsets provide hardware that can speed up
71 printing. Say Y here if you want to take advantage of that.
73 As well as actually having a FIFO, or DMA capability, the kernel
74 will need to know which IRQ the parallel port has. By default,
75 parallel port interrupts will not be used, and so neither will the
76 FIFO. See <file:Documentation/admin-guide/parport.rst> to find out how to
77 specify which IRQ/DMA to use.
79 config PARPORT_PC_SUPERIO
80 bool "SuperIO chipset support"
81 depends on ARCH_MIGHT_HAVE_PC_PARPORT && PARPORT_PC && !PARISC
83 Saying Y here enables some probes for Super-IO chipsets in order to
84 find out things like base addresses, IRQ lines and DMA channels. It
87 config PARPORT_PC_PCMCIA
88 tristate "Support for PCMCIA management for PC-style ports"
89 depends on PCMCIA && PARPORT_PC
91 Say Y here if you need PCMCIA support for your PC-style parallel
92 ports. If unsure, say N.
95 tristate "SGI IP32 builtin port"
99 Say Y here if you need support for the parallel port on
100 SGI O2 machines. This code is also available as a module (say M),
101 called parport_ip32. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan.
104 tristate "Amiga builtin port"
106 select PARPORT_NOT_PC
108 Say Y here if you need support for the parallel port hardware on
109 Amiga machines. This code is also available as a module (say M),
110 called parport_amiga. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan.
113 tristate "Multiface III parallel port"
115 select PARPORT_NOT_PC
117 Say Y here if you need parallel port support for the MFC3 card.
118 This code is also available as a module (say M), called
119 parport_mfc3. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan.
122 tristate "Atari hardware"
124 select PARPORT_NOT_PC
126 Say Y here if you need support for the parallel port hardware on
127 Atari machines. This code is also available as a module (say M),
128 called parport_atari. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan.
133 select PARPORT_NOT_PC
135 config PARPORT_SUNBPP
136 tristate "Sparc hardware"
138 select PARPORT_NOT_PC
140 This driver provides support for the bidirectional parallel port
141 found on many Sun machines. Note that many of the newer Ultras
142 actually have pc style hardware instead.
145 bool "IEEE 1284 transfer modes"
147 If you have a printer that supports status readback or device ID, or
148 want to use a device that uses enhanced parallel port transfer modes
149 such as EPP and ECP, say Y here to enable advanced IEEE 1284
150 transfer modes. Also say Y if you want device ID information to
151 appear in /proc/sys/dev/parport/*/autoprobe*. It is safe to say N.
153 config PARPORT_NOT_PC
