I just found a story in the Slashdot queue about a new Intel project called the "Simple Firmware Interface" (http://simplefirmware.org/). According to the project website, SFI is "a method for platform firmware to export static tables to the operating system (OS)" and looks to be a lightweight replacement for ACPI.
I haven't found any mention of SFI on either Wikipedia or on the coreboot wiki. Does anyone have further information on the project? Thanks, --R Here's the story in the /. queue: http://slashdot.org/firehose.pl?op=view&id=4979253 Here's the link to the announcement: http://www.h-online.com/open/Intel-develops-simpler-alternative-to-ACPI-for-Linux--/news/113594 Looks someone from Intel will be giving a talk at Linux Symposium 2009: http://www.linuxsymposium.org/2009/view_abstract.php?content_key=82 -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
