I'm sorry, but the question have sense.
Using HP 8510p for four years with OpenBSD, I have a great trouble with
reading SMBUS (data ready on it) for years.
Every release I need to apply a patch after upgrade for reading ACPII
data from 8510p in time, to prevent wrong data on SMBUS. Theo replied
that the patch will not be implemented in CVS because all ACPI must be
rewritten in new manner. But they will do nothing since my last report...
All the troubles the same as four years ago. Only the patch can be
implemented to read ACPI data on HP 8510p properly during boot, no CVS
implemented.
So I'm interesting about AST2050 fully supported just now in CVS.
Thanks.

Hi,
Has OpenBSD implemented ACPI for Aspeed AST2050 in current or release?
The question doesn't really make sense, ACPI is a method where the
manufacturer can supply a set of BIOS tables with instructions about
how to route interrupts, control power use etc. It isn't specifically
implemented for each vendor, it is a common standard.
This IC is present in some Dell branded Tyan products like DCS6005 cloud
nodes and some other Tyan MBs. Seems Aspeed its their own product
because these ICs can be found on all Tyan server mainboards as I can see.
Not just Tyan, a number of vendors use Aspeed controllers. Where they're
seen in servers, they usually have BMC, superio (GPIO, UARTs, PWM for fan
control etc) and basic graphics support.
