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
47 You should say Y here if you have a PC-style parallel port. All
48 IBM PC compatible computers and some Alphas have PC-style
49 parallel ports. PA-RISC owners should only say Y here if they
50 have a SuperIO parallel port.
52 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
53 module will be called parport_pc.
58 tristate "Multi-IO cards (parallel and serial)"
59 depends on SERIAL_8250_PCI && PARPORT_PC && PCI
61 This adds support for multi-IO PCI cards that have parallel and
62 serial ports. You should say Y or M here. If you say M, the module
63 will be called parport_serial.
65 config PARPORT_PC_FIFO
66 bool "Use FIFO/DMA if available"
69 Many parallel port chipsets provide hardware that can speed up
70 printing. Say Y here if you want to take advantage of that.
72 As well as actually having a FIFO, or DMA capability, the kernel
73 will need to know which IRQ the parallel port has. By default,
74 parallel port interrupts will not be used, and so neither will the
75 FIFO. See <file:Documentation/admin-guide/parport.rst> to find out how to
76 specify which IRQ/DMA to use.
78 config PARPORT_PC_SUPERIO
79 bool "SuperIO chipset support"
80 depends on PARPORT_PC && !PARISC
82 Saying Y here enables some probes for Super-IO chipsets in order to
83 find out things like base addresses, IRQ lines and DMA channels. It
86 config PARPORT_PC_PCMCIA
87 tristate "Support for PCMCIA management for PC-style ports"
88 depends on PCMCIA && PARPORT_PC
90 Say Y here if you need PCMCIA support for your PC-style parallel
91 ports. If unsure, say N.
94 tristate "SGI IP32 builtin port"
98 Say Y here if you need support for the parallel port on
99 SGI O2 machines. This code is also available as a module (say M),
100 called parport_ip32. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan.
103 tristate "Amiga builtin port"
105 select PARPORT_NOT_PC
107 Say Y here if you need support for the parallel port hardware on
108 Amiga machines. This code is also available as a module (say M),
109 called parport_amiga. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan.
112 tristate "Multiface III parallel port"
114 select PARPORT_NOT_PC
116 Say Y here if you need parallel port support for the MFC3 card.
117 This code is also available as a module (say M), called
118 parport_mfc3. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan.
121 tristate "Atari hardware"
123 select PARPORT_NOT_PC
125 Say Y here if you need support for the parallel port hardware on
126 Atari machines. This code is also available as a module (say M),
127 called parport_atari. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan.
132 select PARPORT_NOT_PC
134 config PARPORT_SUNBPP
135 tristate "Sparc hardware"
137 select PARPORT_NOT_PC
139 This driver provides support for the bidirectional parallel port
140 found on many Sun machines. Note that many of the newer Ultras
141 actually have pc style hardware instead.
143 config PARPORT_AX88796
144 tristate "AX88796 Parallel Port"
145 select PARPORT_NOT_PC
147 Say Y here if you need support for the parallel port hardware on
148 the AX88796 network controller chip. This code is also available
149 as a module (say M), called parport_ax88796.
151 The driver is not dependent on the AX88796 network driver, and
152 should not interfere with the networking functions of the chip.
155 bool "IEEE 1284 transfer modes"
157 If you have a printer that supports status readback or device ID, or
158 want to use a device that uses enhanced parallel port transfer modes
159 such as EPP and ECP, say Y here to enable advanced IEEE 1284
160 transfer modes. Also say Y if you want device ID information to
161 appear in /proc/sys/dev/parport/*/autoprobe*. It is safe to say N.
163 config PARPORT_NOT_PC
