Re: ACPI _SUN

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi


1) I saw the _SUN object in DSDT table as "Name (_SUN, 0x01)", is this
means that this slot number is fixed or is that going to change at
run-time.

2) Is there any other way to get the PCI slot number using ACPI tables?

3) How do I know that a perticular slot is populated, in user space.
Is there any system call to know that?

4) Is it possible to override the AML, if yes can you please tell us
how to do it?

They are defined under DSDT or RSDT tables as any other ACPI objects
populating the ACPI namespace.

They can't be updated.

A DSDT table is not a static binary file.  On most i386 or amd64
architectures, DSDT and SSDT are part of the BIOS.
The BIOS uncompressed and copyied them into main memory at the
POST stage since the ROM is too limited in size.

By the customer via BIOS updates obtained from the vendor.
