rebuild/reboot is not needed and test result can be got in minutes.
Note: Only ACPI METHOD can be overridden, any other object types like
- "Device", "OperationRegion", are not recognized.
+ "Device", "OperationRegion", are not recognized. Methods
+ declared inside scope operators are also not supported.
Note: The same ACPI control method can be overridden for many times,
and it's always the latest one that used by Linux/kernel.
Note: To get the ACPI debug object output (Store (AAAA, Debug)),
DefinitionBlock ("", "SSDT", 1, "", "", 0x20080715)
{
- External (ACON)
-
Method (\_SB_.AC._PSR, 0, NotSerialized)
{
Store ("In AC _PSR", Debug)
}
Note that the full pathname of the method in ACPI namespace
should be used.
- And remember to use "External" to declare external objects.
e) assemble the file to generate the AML code of the method.
- e.g. "iasl psr.asl" (psr.aml is generated as a result)
+ e.g. "iasl -vw 6084 psr.asl" (psr.aml is generated as a result)
+ If parameter "-vw 6084" is not supported by your iASL compiler,
+ please try a newer version.
f) mount debugfs by "mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug"
g) override the old method via the debugfs by running
"cat /tmp/psr.aml > /sys/kernel/debug/acpi/custom_method"
