2 # IPMI device configuration
9 tristate 'IPMI top-level message handler'
11 This enables the central IPMI message handler, required for IPMI
14 IPMI is a standard for managing sensors (temperature,
15 voltage, etc.) in a system.
17 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'
23 depends on IPMI_HANDLER
25 When a panic occurs, this will cause the IPMI message handler to
26 generate an IPMI event describing the panic to each interface
27 registered with the message handler.
29 config IPMI_PANIC_STRING
30 bool 'Generate OEM events containing the panic string'
31 depends on IPMI_PANIC_EVENT
33 When a panic occurs, this will cause the IPMI message handler to
34 generate IPMI OEM type f0 events holding the IPMB address of the
35 panic generator (byte 4 of the event), a sequence number for the
36 string (byte 5 of the event) and part of the string (the rest of the
37 event). Bytes 1, 2, and 3 are the normal usage for an OEM event.
38 You can fetch these events and use the sequence numbers to piece the
41 config IPMI_DEVICE_INTERFACE
42 tristate 'Device interface for IPMI'
43 depends on IPMI_HANDLER
45 This provides an IOCTL interface to the IPMI message handler so
46 userland processes may use IPMI. It supports poll() and select().
49 tristate 'IPMI System Interface handler'
50 depends on IPMI_HANDLER
52 Provides a driver for System Interfaces (KCS, SMIC, BT).
53 Currently, only KCS and SMIC are supported. If
54 you are using IPMI, you should probably say "y" here.
57 tristate 'IPMI Watchdog Timer'
58 depends on IPMI_HANDLER
60 This enables the IPMI watchdog timer.
63 tristate 'IPMI Poweroff'
64 depends on IPMI_HANDLER
66 This enables a function to power off the system with IPMI if
67 the IPMI management controller is capable of this.
