- menuconfig IPMI_HANDLER
- tristate 'IPMI top-level message handler'
- depends on HAS_IOMEM
- help
- This enables the central IPMI message handler, required for IPMI
- to work.
- IPMI is a standard for managing sensors (temperature,
- voltage, etc.) in a system.
- See <file:Documentation/IPMI.txt> for more details on the driver.
- If unsure, say N.
- if IPMI_HANDLER
- config IPMI_PANIC_EVENT
- bool 'Generate a panic event to all BMCs on a panic'
- help
- When a panic occurs, this will cause the IPMI message handler to
- generate an IPMI event describing the panic to each interface
- registered with the message handler.
- config IPMI_PANIC_STRING
- bool 'Generate OEM events containing the panic string'
- depends on IPMI_PANIC_EVENT
- help
- When a panic occurs, this will cause the IPMI message handler to
- generate IPMI OEM type f0 events holding the IPMB address of the
- panic generator (byte 4 of the event), a sequence number for the
- string (byte 5 of the event) and part of the string (the rest of the
- event). Bytes 1, 2, and 3 are the normal usage for an OEM event.
- You can fetch these events and use the sequence numbers to piece the
- string together.
- config IPMI_DEVICE_INTERFACE
- tristate 'Device interface for IPMI'
- help
- This provides an IOCTL interface to the IPMI message handler so
- userland processes may use IPMI. It supports poll() and select().
- config IPMI_SI
- tristate 'IPMI System Interface handler'
- help
- Provides a driver for System Interfaces (KCS, SMIC, BT).
- Currently, only KCS and SMIC are supported. If
- you are using IPMI, you should probably say "y" here.
- config IPMI_SI_PROBE_DEFAULTS
- bool 'Probe for all possible IPMI system interfaces by default'
- default n
- depends on IPMI_SI
- help
- Modern systems will usually expose IPMI interfaces via a discoverable
- firmware mechanism such as ACPI or DMI. Older systems do not, and so
- the driver is forced to probe hardware manually. This may cause boot
- delays. Say "n" here to disable this manual probing. IPMI will then
- only be available on older systems if the "ipmi_si_intf.trydefaults=1"
- boot argument is passed.
- config IPMI_SSIF
- tristate 'IPMI SMBus handler (SSIF)'
- select I2C
- help
- Provides a driver for a SMBus interface to a BMC, meaning that you
- have a driver that must be accessed over an I2C bus instead of a
- standard interface. This module requires I2C support.
- config IPMI_POWERNV
- depends on PPC_POWERNV
- tristate 'POWERNV (OPAL firmware) IPMI interface'
- help
- Provides a driver for OPAL firmware-based IPMI interfaces.
- config IPMI_WATCHDOG
- tristate 'IPMI Watchdog Timer'
- help
- This enables the IPMI watchdog timer.
- config IPMI_POWEROFF
- tristate 'IPMI Poweroff'
- help
- This enables a function to power off the system with IPMI if
- the IPMI management controller is capable of this.
