对于新知识的学习,个人认为要由整体到部分,首先要掌握这是个什么东西?作用是什么?而不是直接研究该技术的内容,今日对ACPI的知识总结如下:
一、ACP规范的目的
ACPI(advanced configuration and power interface)规范定义了标准的工业接口,使OS直接主导主板设备的配置和主板设备及整个系统的电源管理;原Advanced Power Management模型(APM)将电源管理几乎完全分配给BIOS控制,限制了操作系统在控制电能消耗方面的功能。
The Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) specification was developed to establish industry common interfaces enabling robust operating system (OS)-directed motherboard device configuration and power management of both devices and entire systems. ACPI is the key element in Operating System-directed configuration and Power
