- menu "Firmware Drivers"
- config EDD
- tristate "BIOS Enhanced Disk Drive calls determine boot disk (EXPERIMENTAL)"
- depends on EXPERIMENTAL
- depends on !IA64
- help
- Say Y or M here if you want to enable BIOS Enhanced Disk Drive
- Services real mode BIOS calls to determine which disk
- BIOS tries boot from. This information is then exported via sysfs.
- This option is experimental and is known to fail to boot on some
- obscure configurations. Most disk controller BIOS vendors do
- not yet implement this feature.
- config EFI_VARS
- tristate "EFI Variable Support via sysfs"
- depends on EFI
- default n
- help
- If you say Y here, you are able to get EFI (Extensible Firmware
- Interface) variable information via sysfs. You may read,
- write, create, and destroy EFI variables through this interface.
- Note that using this driver in concert with efibootmgr requires
- at least test release version 0.5.0-test3 or later, which is
- available from Matt Domsch's website located at:
- <http://linux.dell.com/efibootmgr/testing/efibootmgr-0.5.0-test3.tar.gz>
- Subsequent efibootmgr releases may be found at:
- <http://linux.dell.com/efibootmgr>
- config EFI_PCDP
- bool "Console device selection via EFI PCDP or HCDP table"
- depends on ACPI && EFI && IA64
- default y if IA64
- help
- If your firmware supplies the PCDP table, and you want to
- automatically use the primary console device it describes
- as the Linux console, say Y here.
- If your firmware supplies the HCDP table, and you want to
- use the first serial port it describes as the Linux console,
- say Y here. If your EFI ConOut path contains only a UART
- device, it will become the console automatically. Otherwise,
- you must specify the "console=hcdp" kernel boot argument.
- Neither the PCDP nor the HCDP affects naming of serial devices,
- so a serial console may be /dev/ttyS0, /dev/ttyS1, etc, depending
- on how the driver discovers devices.
- You must also enable the appropriate drivers (serial, VGA, etc.)
- See <http://www.dig64.org/specifications/DIG64_HCDPv20_042804.pdf>
- config DELL_RBU
- tristate "BIOS update support for DELL systems via sysfs"
- select FW_LOADER
- help
- Say m if you want to have the option of updating the BIOS for your
- DELL system. Note you need a Dell OpenManage or Dell Update package (DUP)
- supporting application to comunicate with the BIOS regarding the new
- image for the image update to take effect.
- See <file:Documentation/dell_rbu.txt> for more details on the driver.
- config DCDBAS
- tristate "Dell Systems Management Base Driver"
- depends on X86 || X86_64
- default m
- help
- The Dell Systems Management Base Driver provides a sysfs interface
- for systems management software to perform System Management
- Interrupts (SMIs) and Host Control Actions (system power cycle or
- power off after OS shutdown) on certain Dell systems.
- See <file:Documentation/dcdbas.txt> for more details on the driver
- and the Dell systems on which Dell systems management software makes
- use of this driver.
- Say Y or M here to enable the driver for use by Dell systems
- management software such as Dell OpenManage.
