+Disabling/Enabling Cable or Vendor Drivers
+------------------------------------------
+
+With the default ``cmake ..`` configuration, openFPGALoader enables
+``ENABLE_CABLE_ALL=ON`` and ``ENABLE_VENDORS_ALL=ON``. This means all cable
+and vendor drivers are enabled by default, then filtered only by OS
+capabilities and available dependencies.
+
+To reduce binary size, speed up the build, or keep support limited to selected
+cables/vendors, you can explicitly enable or disable options.
+
+These commands are equivalent:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    cmake -DENABLE_CABLE_ALL=ON -DENABLE_VENDORS_ALL=ON ..
+    # and
+    cmake ..  # Implicit default values
+
+To disable all cable and vendor support:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    cmake -DENABLE_CABLE_ALL=OFF -DENABLE_VENDORS_ALL=OFF ..
+
+This produces an **openFPGALoader** binary with no cable/vendor support.
+Then re-enable only what you need by adding one or more options below.
+
+Each item in the following lists is a CMake option name. Use them with
+``-D<OPTION>=ON`` to enable or ``-D<OPTION>=OFF`` to disable.
+
+.. note::
+
+   The default value for each option is provided by ``ENABLE_CABLE_ALL`` and
+   ``ENABLE_VENDORS_ALL``.
+
+Example (enable FTDI-based cables and Xilinx devices only):
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    cmake \
+      -DENABLE_CABLE_ALL=OFF \
+      -DENABLE_VENDORS_ALL=OFF \
+      -DENABLE_FTDI_BASED_CABLE=ON \
+      -DENABLE_XILINX_SUPPORT=ON \
+      ..
+

+.. note::
+
+   SPI support is hardcoded to FTDI. When FTDI support is disabled, some
+   vendor drivers are also disabled (*iCE40*, *Cologne Chip*, *Efinix*, and
+   *Lattice SSPI*).
