ACPI and power failure

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

 



Hi,

Is there anything ACPI related that deals with a AC power fail in the system?

I am developing an embedded system that has very limited writes to a flash device, other than that all file systems are read only. I want to turn this device on and off with one main switch that will cut the AC power. Turning it on this way is not a problem. When I turn it off I am a bit worried that if in the middle of a write the r/w file system may be corrupted. I am curious if there is anything ACPI related that can detect an AC power fail and in the 1-5 ms before DC power is lost quickly do the bare essentials of house keeping to prevent fs corruption.

Any input on this would be helpful.

Thanks,
Jon
