The driver is meant to be used in conjunction with 17 a user space API. 18 The ibmasm driver also enables the OS to use the UART on the 19 service processor board as a regular serial port. To make use of 20 this feature serial driver support (CONFIG_SERIAL_8250) must be 21 enabled. 22 23 WARNING: This software may not be supported or function 24 correctly on your IBM server.
