To support the ACPI event, qemu should at least have General-Purpose Event (GPE) register and SCI interrupt (see ACPI 2.0 spec, ch 5.6). It may not be as simple as calculating checksum and updating acpi.S, so I guess you have to use real hardware currently.
If there are more and more usage models for ACPI in qemu, I guess people will consider adding ACPI support in qemu :) Best Regards Yu Ke Intel, Open Source Technology Center ________________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Shahar Livne Sent: 2005年11月9日 15:41 To: qemu-devel@nongnu.org Subject: Re: [Qemu-devel] ACPI support Thanks! Actually, I don't need the whole ACPI mechanism working. On the real target, I want to use the power button to initiate a reboot. Such a thing can be done with something like: cat /proc/acpi/event | grep specific_event > /dev/null && reboot In the qemu, I never get to load the relevant kernel modules (like button.ko), since the ACPI is disabled due to the mentioned checksum failure. If it is only some small adaptation of the mentioned patch with checksum calculation for RSDT and updating acpi.S than I would gladly do it (do you have any hints?). Otherwise - I just give up on this now, and use the real hardware.

So you may like to call it an APIC patch rather than ACPI patch. If you want to test power management of embedded system with qemu, IMHO, there will be a lot of work to do: * Implement ACPI hardware in QEMU, which includes - General ACPI hardware in chipset - Specific ACPI hardware in every device * Add ACPI table in BIOS.

Lately I had a need to check ACPI related kernel module, but I have seen that there isn't any support in the version 0.7.1 that I use. I have checked also 0.7.2 and found no support. A patch that I have found on www.h7.dion.ne.jp/~qemu-win/ for x86_64 by F.Navara seemed like close enough. I have applied it (after adaptation, since it didn't go smooth for 0.7.1 or 0.7.2). The system booted, but running dmesg | grep ACPI inside the embedded system on the qemu gave: ACPI: RSDP (v000 QEMU ) @ 0x000e0000 ACPI: Invalid RSDT checksum ACPI: Subsystem revision 20050211 ACPI: Interpreter disabled. I use the i386 emulation, and the kernel running inside is 2.6.11 Has someone any experience with ACPI in qemu?
