The ADS5593 is defined in DSDT table, but I can't compile the asl > code when define it as DSDT table Is it part of DSDT? I think you are trying to make it as separate table. According to ACPI specification you may have only one DSDT. It means that additional tables should have SSDT signature. This also explained in the documentation [7] regarding to ACPI SSDT overlays.

You need to attach your device to the controller and refer to it from I2cSerialBus() resource. > ASL Input: ads5593r.asl - 7917 bytes 30 keywords 257 source lines > > Compilation failed. 1 Errors, 0 Warnings, 0 Remarks > No AML files were generated due to compiler error(s) > > 2.

Yes, you need to find proper device node in the DSDT which represents the I²C controller. The DAC device should be subnode of it. > We may have a chance to convince BIOS to move ADS5593 to the SSDT > table, do you think it's a good idea? I'm not sure I understand how BIOS is involved here. If the ADS5593 is a part of platform and you can change DSDT in the BIOS, just make it there. If it's an attachable component (like for your development cycle) SSDT is best approach. Note that amount of SSDT in the system is limited. > BTW, the driver set the channels mode while probing, I'm not sure if > configfs will make the driver probe again when new table is loaded > If we can't use configfs, is there any other way we could try? All possible ways are the following (depending on your needs): - BIOS provides DSDT with the component reference included - Bootloader provides, rewrites or updates tables - OS via: a) initramfs, b) ConfigFS - EFI keeps it in variable which OS or BIOS sets > > > > I spent some time studying/reading what you wrote, but I still don't > > > > understand how to leverage meta-acpi. > > > > > > meta-acpi is a Yocto layer to support provided ACPI tables for the > > > build.
