Author: anonymous Date: 2002-12-17 10:49:36 -0500 (Tue, 17 Dec 2002) New Revision: 706 Removed: branches/linux-2.4/Config.help Log: Not used in 2.4 Deleted: branches/linux-2.4/Config.help ============================================================================== --- branches/linux-2.4/Config.help (original) +++ branches/linux-2.4/Config.help 2002-12-22 09:50:14.000000000 -0500 @@ -1,126 +0,0 @@ -CONFIG_IEEE1394 - IEEE 1394 describes a high performance serial bus, which is also - known as FireWire(tm) or i.Link(tm) and is used for connecting all - sorts of devices (most notably digital video cameras) to your - computer. - - If you have FireWire hardware and want to use it, say Y here. This - is the core support only, you will also need to select a driver for - your IEEE 1394 adapter. - - If you want to compile this as a module ( = code which can be - inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want), - say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>. The module - will be called ieee1394.o. - -CONFIG_IEEE1394_PCILYNX - Say Y here if you have an IEEE-1394 controller with the Texas - Instruments PCILynx chip. Note: this driver is written for revision - 2 of this chip and may not work with revision 0. - - If you want to compile this as a module ( = code which can be - inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want), - say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>. The module - will be called pcilynx.o. - -CONFIG_IEEE1394_PCILYNX_LOCALRAM - This option makes the PCILynx driver use local RAM available on some - PCILynx setups for Packet Control Lists. Local RAM is random access - memory which resides on the PCILynx board as opposed to on your - computer's motherboard. Local RAM may speed up command processing - because no PCI transfers are necessary during use of the Packet - Control Lists. - - Note that there are no known PCILynx systems providing local RAM - except for the evaluation boards by Texas Instruments and that the - PCILynx does not reliably report missing RAM. This means that it is - dangerous to say Y here if you are not absolutely sure that your - board provides 64KB of local RAM. - - If unsure, say N. - -CONFIG_IEEE1394_PCILYNX_PORTS - This option enables driver code to access the RAM, ROM and AUX ports - of the PCILynx through character devices in /dev. If you don't know - what this is about then you won't need it. - - If unsure, say N. - -CONFIG_IEEE1394_OHCI1394 - Enable this driver if you have an IEEE 1394 controller based on the - OHCI-1394 specification. The current driver is only tested with OHCI - chipsets made by Texas Instruments and NEC. Most third-party vendors - use one of these chipsets. It should work with any OHCI-1394 - compliant card, however. - - If you want to compile this as a module ( = code which can be - inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want), - say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>. The module - will be called ohci1394.o. - -CONFIG_IEEE1394_VIDEO1394 - This option enables video device usage for OHCI-1394 cards. Enable - this option only if you have an IEEE 1394 video device connected to - an OHCI-1394 card. - -CONFIG_IEEE1394_DV1394 - This driver allows you to transmit and receive DV (digital video) - streams on an OHCI-1394 card using a simple frame-oriented - interface. - - The user-space API for dv1394 is documented in dv1394.h. - - If you want to compile this as a module ( = code which can be - inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want), - say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>. The module - will be called dv1394.o. - -CONFIG_IEEE1394_SBP2 - This option enables you to use SBP-2 devices connected to your IEEE - 1394 bus. SBP-2 devices include harddrives and DVD devices. - -CONFIG_IEEE1394_RAWIO - Say Y here if you want support for the raw device. This is generally - a good idea, so you should say Y here. The raw device enables - direct communication of user programs with the IEEE 1394 bus and - thus with the attached peripherals. - - If you want to compile this as a module ( = code which can be - inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want), - say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>. The module - will be called raw1394.o. - -CONFIG_IEEE1394_ETH1394 - Extremely Experimental! This driver is a Linux specific way to use your - IEEE1394 Host as an Ethernet type device. This is _NOT_ IP1394. - -CONFIG_IEEE1394_AMDTP - This option enables the Audio & Music Data Transmission Protocol - (IEC61883-6) driver, which implements audio transmission over - IEEE1394. - - The userspace interface is documented in amdtp.h. - - If you want to compile this as a module ( = code which can be - inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want), - say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>. The module - will be called amdtp.o. - -CONFIG_IEEE1394_CMP - This option enables the Connection Management Procedures - (IEC61883-1) driver, which implements input and output plugs. - - If you want to compile this as a module ( = code which can be - inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want), - say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>. The module - will be called amdtp.o. - -CONFIG_IEEE1394_VERBOSEDEBUG - If you say Y here, you will get very verbose debugging logs from the - subsystem which includes a dump of the header of every sent and - received packet. This can amount to a high amount of data collected - in a very short time which is usually also saved to disk by the - system logging daemons. - - Say Y if you really want or need the debugging output, everyone else - says N. |
