The driver is meant to be used in conjunction with 16 a user space API. 17 The ibmasm driver also enables the OS to use the UART on the 18 service processor board as a regular serial port. To make use of 19 this feature serial driver support (CONFIG_SERIAL_8250) must be 20 enabled. 21 22 WARNING: This software may not be supported or function 23 correctly on your IBM server.
