Hi again,
Btw what is the duration of the talk?
Rudolf Marek - ACPI and Suspend/Resume under coreboot
Ever wanted to know more about ACPI? The aim of the talk is to introduce the software part of ACPI as well as provide the necessary hardware details to
get the bigger picture. The tour through Coreboot ACPI implementation will be given. Suspend and resume procedure will be presented with all nifty parts explained.
Thats it. I think I need like hour or hour and half for this. Do you like it? What sort of audience should I expect?
Perhaps it could even start with a question - what OS needs to know about the hardware -> and then show how it is connected to the ACPI (irq routing, PM, PCI buses). When done, one could show how this is implemented in Coreboot/what files and what does it do. Plus perhaps some hints how to port ACPI to some new board. At the end I would like to describe the suspend/resume with some details and pitfalls.
Maybe some "a" or "the" is missing in the abstract. We don't use them in Czech
language so I don't have big "sense" for them.
Dam I wish I could be there! Sounds like it is going to be a pretty good agenda. Is anyone going to get all the talks on video (crossing my fingers)?
