LAI: Difference between revisions

'''LAI''', or Lightweight AML Interpreter, is a lightweight alternative to the bulky [[ACPICA]]. It is much, much smaller, and requires less functions in the OS interface layer be implemented. As well, not all of the functions need to be implemented (although it is optimal to do so) because LAI simply panics when a function is needed and undefined, rather than requiring them at link time. This means that you can use the simpler functions of LAI if you aren't ready to implement an entire OS interface layer just to power off the machine.
