The SCI handler, which will run a GPE handler as you said here, Who is belongs to? I mean, is it part of OS? Or BIOS? ACPI spec seems says if the OS is ACPI compatible and ACPI was enabled, EC will trigger SCI, then handled by OS otherwise it will trigger SMI which handled by BIOS, is this true? >> I read that the BIOS supplies all the ACPI tables. >> 3.

Does it means every time if need to verify the ASL is correct or not, you need to build the BIOS again and program the binary to FWH? Is there any quicker way to do that? Or in another words, what's the normal way/steps to debug ASL?
