tristate "IndustryPack bus support"
depends on HAS_IOMEM
---help---
- If you say Y here you get support for the IndustryPack Framework
- for drivers for many types of boards that support this industrial
- bus. The IndustryPack Framework is a virtual bus allowing to
- communicate between carrier and mezzanine cards connected through
- this bus.
+ This option provides support for the IndustryPack framework. There
+ are IndustryPack carrier boards, which interface another bus (such as
+ PCI) to an IndustryPack bus, and IndustryPack modules, that are
+ hosted on these buses. While IndustryPack modules can provide a
+ large variety of functionality, they are most often found in
+ industrial control applications.
+
+ Say N if unsure.
