| depends on X86 && PCI && EXPERIMENTAL | |
| ---help--- | |
| This option enables device driver support for in-band access to the | |
| IBM RSA (Condor) service processor in eServer xSeries systems. | |
| The ibmasm device driver allows user space application to access | |
| ASM (Advanced Systems Management) functions on the service | |
| processor. The driver is meant to be used in conjunction with | |
| a user space API. | |
| The ibmasm driver also enables the OS to use the UART on the | |
| service processor board as a regular serial port. To make use of | |
| this feature serial driver support (CONFIG_SERIAL_8250) must be | |
| enabled. | |
| WARNING: This software may not be supported or function | |
| correctly on your IBM server. Please consult the IBM ServerProven | |
| website <http://www.pc.ibm.com/ww/eserver/xseries/serverproven> for | |
| information on the specific driver level and support statement | |
| for your IBM server. | |
| If unsure, say N. | |
