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 38 string together. 39 40config IPMI_DEVICE_INTERFACE 41 tristate 'Device interface for IPMI' 42 help 43 This provides an IOCTL interface to the IPMI message handler so 44 userland processes may use IPMI. It supports poll() and select(). 45 46config IPMI_SI 47 tristate 'IPMI System Interface handler' 48 help 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. 52 53config IPMI_SI_PROBE_DEFAULTS 54 bool 'Probe for all possible IPMI system interfaces by default' 55 default n 56 depends on IPMI_SI 57 help 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. 64 65config IPMI_WATCHDOG 66 tristate 'IPMI Watchdog Timer' 67 help 68 This enables the IPMI watchdog timer. 69 70config IPMI_POWEROFF 71 tristate 'IPMI Poweroff' 72 help 73 This enables a function to power off the system with IPMI if 74 the IPMI management controller is capable of this. 75 76endif # IPMI_HANDLER 77
