ACPI: Difference between revisions

Otherwise, write the value of the ACPI Enable field into the register number pointed to by the smi command field, like so:

 

outb(fadt->smi_command,fadt->acpi_enable);

Linux waits 3 seconds for the hardware to change modes.

Then poll the PM1a control block until bit 0 (value 1) sets. When this bit is set, it means power management events are generating SCIs and not SMIs, which means your OS has to handle the events and the System Management BIOS isn't doing anything for you. The SCI is an IRQ that the FADT tells you about.

while (inw(fadt->pm1a_control_block) & 1 == 0);
