The driver is meant to be used in conjunction with 161da177e4SLinus Torvalds a user space API. 171da177e4SLinus Torvalds The ibmasm driver also enables the OS to use the UART on the 181da177e4SLinus Torvalds service processor board as a regular serial port. To make use of 191da177e4SLinus Torvalds this feature serial driver support (CONFIG_SERIAL_8250) must be 201da177e4SLinus Torvalds enabled. 211da177e4SLinus Torvalds 221da177e4SLinus Torvalds WARNING: This software may not be supported or function 231da177e4SLinus Torvalds correctly on your IBM server.
