Instead, `fallback/slic` can be either a SLIC table or an MSDM table. So if should be something like `cbfstool currentok.rom add -f MSDM -n fallback/slic -t raw`. I'm assuming that MSDM file from the command you tried is `/sys/firmware/acpi/tables/MSDM`? > If you have both SLIC and MSDM should both be applied, or does the > `HAVE_ACPI_SLIC` create somekind of reference/link to the added fallback > files? As I mentioned before, `HAVE_ACPI_SLIC` no longer exists as it was removed in CB:7202 due to the new code making it unnecessary. ---------------------------------------- Support #585: acpi MSDM / SLIC table usage? https://ticket.coreboot.org/issues/585#change-2041 * Author: Walter Sonius * Status: New * Priority: Normal * Category: Documentation * Target version: none * Start date: 2025-03-20 * Affected OS: Windows 8 Pro / Windows 10 Pro ---------------------------------------- What option(s) does one need to compile this feature into a coreboot & edk2 build and where does one put the `slic_file` and in what format? Couldn't find anything in the documentation nor the commits that introduce MSDM/SLIC support: https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/44995 https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/7202 -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
