I'm not sure this is the right way to go about it, although I haven't looked at your code yet. APCI is a big animal, and I think it's going to take a proper design to get it right. The key components would appear to be a full AML parser, an object manager to manage the ACPI namespace, and an AML interpreter to run the AML methods. > If someone already started wriring ACPI devive driver, please let us > know.

Both Doug Rabson and myself have been tinkering with this, and there's someone that's been looking at an AML parser/interpreter in the last couple of weeks. At this point in time, the parser and object manager are the most vital components. -- \\ The mind's the standard \\ Mike Smith \\ of the man. \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ -- Joseph Merrick \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
