12.12. Defining an EC SMBus Host Controller in ACPI Namespace

An EC-SMB-HC device is defined using the named device object. The EC-SMB- HC’s device object requires the following elements:

Table 12.20 EC SMBus HC Device Objects

Object	Description
_HID	Named object that provides the EC-SMB- HC’s Plug and Play identifier. This value is be set to ACPI0001. _HID is a standard device configuration control method defined in _HID (Hardware ID).
_EC	Named object that evaluates to a WORD that defines the SMBus attributes needed by the SMBus driver. _EC is the Embedded Controller Offset Query Control Method. The most significant byte is the address offset in embedded controller space of the SMBus controller; the least significant byte is the query value for all SMBus events.

12.12.1. Example: EC SMBus Host Controller ASL-Code

Example ASL code that defines an SMB-HC from within an embedded controller device is shown below:

Device(EC0)
{
    Name(_HID, EISAID("PNP0C09"))
    Name(_CRS, ResourceTemplate()
    {
        IO(Decode16, 0x62, 0x62, 0, 1), // Status port
        IO(Decode16, 0x66, 0x66, 0, 1) // command port
    })
    Name(_GPE, 0)

    Device (SMB0)
    {
        Name(_HID, "ACPI0001") // EC-SMB-HC
        Name(_UID, 0) // Unique device identifier
        Name(_EC, 0x2030) // EC offset 0x20, query bit 0x30
            :
    }
    Device (SMB1)
    {
        Name(_HID, "ACPI0001") // EC-SMB-HC
        Name(_UID, 1) // Unique device identifier
        Name(_EC, 0x8031) // EC offset 0x80, query bit 0x31
            :
    }
} // end of EC0.
