+Overview
+--------
+
+This driver implements the support for Linux of Silicon Labs (Silabs)
+C2 Interface used for in-system programming of micro controllers.
+
+By using this driver you can reprogram the in-system flash without EC2
+or EC3 debug adapter. This solution is also useful in those systems
+where the micro controller is connected via special GPIOs pins.
+
+References
+----------
+
+The C2 Interface main references are at (http://www.silabs.com)
+Silicon Laboratories site], see:
+
+- AN127: FLASH Programming via the C2 Interface at
+http://www.silabs.com/public/documents/tpub_doc/anote/Microcontrollers/Small_Form_Factor/en/an127.pdf, and
+
+- C2 Specification at
+http://www.silabs.com/public/documents/tpub_doc/spec/Microcontrollers/en/C2spec.pdf,
+
+however it implements a two wire serial communication protocol (bit
+banging) designed to enable in-system programming, debugging, and
+boundary-scan testing on low pin-count Silicon Labs devices. Currently
+this code supports only flash programming but extensions are easy to
+add.
+
+Using the driver
+----------------
+
+Once the driver is loaded you can use sysfs support to get C2port's
+info or read/write in-system flash.
+
+# ls /sys/class/c2port/c2port0/
+access            flash_block_size  flash_erase       rev_id
+dev_id            flash_blocks_num  flash_size        subsystem/
+flash_access      flash_data        reset             uevent
+
+Initially the C2port access is disabled since you hardware may have
+such lines multiplexed with other devices so, to get access to the
+C2port, you need the command:
+
+# echo 1 > /sys/class/c2port/c2port0/access
+
+after that you should read the device ID and revision ID of the
+connected micro controller:
+
+# cat /sys/class/c2port/c2port0/dev_id
+8
+# cat /sys/class/c2port/c2port0/rev_id
+1
+
+However, for security reasons, the in-system flash access in not
+enabled yet, to do so you need the command:
+
+# echo 1 > /sys/class/c2port/c2port0/flash_access
+
+After that you can read the whole flash:
+
+# cat /sys/class/c2port/c2port0/flash_data > image
+
+erase it:
+
+# echo 1 > /sys/class/c2port/c2port0/flash_erase
+
+and write it:
+
+# cat image > /sys/class/c2port/c2port0/flash_data
+
+after writing you have to reset the device to execute the new code:
+
+# echo 1 > /sys/class/c2port/c2port0/reset
