摘要:
In a first aspect, the invention is a method for interfacing a generic program with the ASL code in an ACPI system. The method comprises storing information from a generic program in a shared memory; accessing the ASL code; and retrieving the stored information with the ASL code. In a second aspect, the invention is a method for testing ASL PnP code in an ACPI system. The method comprises identifying a configurable PnP device; disabling the identified configurable PnP device; testing the disabled, configurable PnP device for a configuration; and verifying that, for the tested configuration, the resulting current resources match the set resources. In variations of these aspects, the methods may be performed by instructions encoded on a computer-readable, program storage medium and used to program a computer.
