4# NOTE: the reason this doesn't show SPI slave support is mostly that
5# nobody's needed a slave side API yet. The master-role API is not
6# fully appropriate there, so it'd need some thought to do well.

13 The "Serial Peripheral Interface" is a low level synchronous
14 protocol. Chips that support SPI can have data transfer rates
15 up to several tens of Mbit/sec. Chips are addressed with a
16 controller and a chipselect. Most SPI slaves don't support
17 dynamic device discovery; some are even write-only or read-only.

19 SPI is widely used by microcontollers to talk with sensors,
20 eeprom and flash memory, codecs and various other controller
21 chips, analog to digital (and d-to-a) converters, and more.
22 MMC and SD cards can be accessed using SPI protocol; and for
23 DataFlash cards used in MMC sockets, SPI must always be used.
24
25 SPI is one of a family of similar protocols using a four wire
26 interface (select, clock, data in, data out) including Microwire
27 (half duplex), SSP, SSI, and PSP. This driver framework should
28 work with most such devices and controllers.

34 Say "yes" to enable debug messaging (like dev_dbg and pr_debug),
35 sysfs, and debugfs support in SPI controller and protocol drivers.

46 If your system has an master-capable SPI controller (which
47 provides the clock and chipselect), you can enable that
48 controller and the protocol drivers for the SPI slave chips
49 that are connected.

61# There are lots of SPI device types, with sensors and memory
62# being probably the most widely used ones.
