Mitch wrote a fast path resume from RAM for the OLPC Geode hardware. Once you've done that, you find that you've done just about everything to initialize the hardware in the first place; so that code is now used both at boot time and at suspend from RAM time.
I suppose this was done by relying on the ACPI tables?
No, no ACPI involved.
Not even the init tables ACPI depends on?
What init tables?
I think they are called something like DST...
You know, the one part in any legacy BIOS.
No, OLPC uses no ACPI.
So they probably have their own tables?
Definitely. This is already happening - There is a GSoC project (going to be done by Jens Freimann) to get a better integration between OFW and LB done.
I was more thinking of merging the projects; or is there an advantage of keeping them separate?
This is like merging the Linux kernel and glibc. They're doing different stuff.
But, I thought OFW is a BIOS replacement and more. No? Does OLPC still depend on LinuxBIOS? Or on some other BIOS. The picture isn't clear.
Thanks!
