CONFIG_SENSORS_EEPROM: EEPROM reader

General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_SENSORS_EEPROM has multiple definitions:

EEPROM reader found in drivers/i2c/chips/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_SENSORS_EEPROM:

• prompt: EEPROM reader
• type: tristate
• depends on: CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL
• defined in drivers/i2c/chips/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 2.6.5–2.6.28
• modules built: eeprom

Help text

If you say yes here you get read-only access to the EEPROM data available on modern memory DIMMs and Sony Vaio laptops. Such EEPROMs could theoretically be available on other devices as well.

This driver can also be built as a module. If so, the module will be called eeprom.
