NAME

6       smbus - System Management Bus controller driver
7

DESCRIPTION

9       The  smbus driver is a I2C (Inter IC) nexus driver that allows the sys‐
10       tem to communicate with various system      component chips. SMBus is a
11       two-wire  control  bus  based on the I2C protocol through which systems
12       can communicate with various I2C devices connected to the bus.

15       The smbus driver supports byte and block level transfer based on inter‐
16       rupt and polled mode.
