2 # IPMI device configuration
5 menuconfig IPMI_HANDLER
6 tristate 'IPMI top-level message handler'
9 This enables the central IPMI message handler, required for IPMI
12 IPMI is a standard for managing sensors (temperature,
13 voltage, etc.) in a system.
15 See <file:Documentation/IPMI.txt> for more details on the driver.
21 config IPMI_PANIC_EVENT
22 bool 'Generate a panic event to all BMCs on a panic'
24 When a panic occurs, this will cause the IPMI message handler to
25 generate an IPMI event describing the panic to each interface
26 registered with the message handler.
28 config IPMI_PANIC_STRING
29 bool 'Generate OEM events containing the panic string'
30 depends on IPMI_PANIC_EVENT
32 When a panic occurs, this will cause the IPMI message handler to
33 generate IPMI OEM type f0 events holding the IPMB address of the
34 panic generator (byte 4 of the event), a sequence number for the
35 string (byte 5 of the event) and part of the string (the rest of the
36 event). Bytes 1, 2, and 3 are the normal usage for an OEM event.
37 You can fetch these events and use the sequence numbers to piece the
40 config IPMI_DEVICE_INTERFACE
41 tristate 'Device interface for IPMI'
43 This provides an IOCTL interface to the IPMI message handler so
44 userland processes may use IPMI. It supports poll() and select().
47 tristate 'IPMI System Interface handler'
49 Provides a driver for System Interfaces (KCS, SMIC, BT).
50 Currently, only KCS and SMIC are supported. If
51 you are using IPMI, you should probably say "y" here.
53 config IPMI_SI_PROBE_DEFAULTS
54 bool 'Probe for all possible IPMI system interfaces by default'
58 Modern systems will usually expose IPMI interfaces via a discoverable
59 firmware mechanism such as ACPI or DMI. Older systems do not, and so
60 the driver is forced to probe hardware manually. This may cause boot
61 delays. Say "n" here to disable this manual probing. IPMI will then
62 only be available on older systems if the "ipmi_si_intf.trydefaults=1"
63 boot argument is passed.
66 tristate 'IPMI SMBus handler (SSIF)'
69 Provides a driver for a SMBus interface to a BMC, meaning that you
70 have a driver that must be accessed over an I2C bus instead of a
71 standard interface. This module requires I2C support.
74 depends on PPC_POWERNV
75 tristate 'POWERNV (OPAL firmware) IPMI interface'
77 Provides a driver for OPAL firmware-based IPMI interfaces.
80 tristate 'IPMI Watchdog Timer'
82 This enables the IPMI watchdog timer.
85 tristate 'IPMI Poweroff'
87 This enables a function to power off the system with IPMI if
88 the IPMI management controller is capable of this.
