1 ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) Support
3 Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) support for Linux requires an
4 ACPI-compliant platform (hardware/firmware), and assumes the presence of
5 OS-directed configuration and power management (OSPM) software.
7 Linux ACPI provides a robust functional replacement for several legacy
8 configuration and power management interfaces, including the Plug-and-Play BIOS
9 specification (PnP BIOS), the MultiProcessor Specification (MPS), and the
10 Advanced Power Management (APM) specification. If both ACPI and APM support are
11 configured, ACPI is used.
13 The project home page for the Linux ACPI subsystem is here:
14 <https://01.org/linux-acpi>
16 Linux support for ACPI is based on Intel Corporation's ACPI Component
17 Architecture (ACPI CA). For more information on the ACPI CA, see:
18 <http://acpica.org/>
20 ACPI is an open industry specification originally co-developed by
21 Hewlett-Packard, Intel, Microsoft, Phoenix, and Toshiba. Currently, it is
22 developed by the ACPI Specification Working Group (ASWG) under the UEFI Forum
23 and any UEFI member can join the ASWG and contribute to the ACPI specification.
24 The specification is available at: <http://www.acpi.info>
