| 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. |
