2 # IPMI device configuration
7 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.
19 config IPMI_PANIC_EVENT
20 bool 'Generate a panic event to all BMCs on a panic'
21 depends on IPMI_HANDLER
23 When a panic occurs, this will cause the IPMI message handler to
24 generate an IPMI event describing the panic to each interface
25 registered with the message handler.
27 config IPMI_PANIC_STRING
28 bool 'Generate OEM events containing the panic string'
29 depends on IPMI_PANIC_EVENT
31 When a panic occurs, this will cause the IPMI message handler to
32 generate IPMI OEM type f0 events holding the IPMB address of the
33 panic generator (byte 4 of the event), a sequence number for the
34 string (byte 5 of the event) and part of the string (the rest of the
35 event). Bytes 1, 2, and 3 are the normal usage for an OEM event.
36 You can fetch these events and use the sequence numbers to piece the
39 config IPMI_DEVICE_INTERFACE
40 tristate 'Device interface for IPMI'
41 depends on IPMI_HANDLER
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'
48 depends on IPMI_HANDLER
50 Provides a driver for System Interfaces (KCS, SMIC, BT).
51 Currently, only KCS and SMIC are supported. If
52 you are using IPMI, you should probably say "y" here.
55 tristate 'IPMI Watchdog Timer'
56 depends on IPMI_HANDLER
58 This enables the IPMI watchdog timer.
61 tristate 'IPMI Poweroff'
62 depends on IPMI_HANDLER
64 This enables a function to power off the system with IPMI if
65 the IPMI management controller is capable of this.
