Yes, of course it describes these devices, but in a way so that the host
can talk to the device.  The specifics as to how the i2c/spi/uart device
talks to the "real" hardware on the device side is up to the
firmware/code in the device.  Greybus does not care at all about that,
it is merely a transport layer for data that goes across these types of
hardware busses.

Is Linux running on the "device" side?  I don't know what a Clickboard
is, nor how they work at all, sorry.  You can look at the firmware that
was written for many greybus devices using NuttX in the github repos if
you want examples of how to handle this on the device side.  Perhaps
that is the piece you are missing?

thanks,
