11 | This option enables device driver support for in-band access to the | |
12 | IBM RSA (Condor) service processor in eServer xSeries systems. | |
13 | The ibmasm device driver allows user space application to access | |
14 | ASM (Advanced Systems Management) functions on the service | |
15 | processor. The driver is meant to be used in conjunction with | |
16 | a user space API. | |
17 | The ibmasm driver also enables the OS to use the UART on the | |
18 | service processor board as a regular serial port. To make use of | |
19 | this feature serial driver support (CONFIG_SERIAL_8250) must be | |
20 | enabled. | |
