iasl

iasl

[sjb]

Hi all ..

.. long story, and I shan't bother you with the details ;-)

Is there such a thing as a version of iasl that doesn't depend on glibc 
2.3 and will work with glibc 2.2? And, if so, could someone point me in 
the right direction to download a copy?

Many thanks!

grab acpica-unix from intel site instead, untar, go to 'compiler' directory,
'make' and hopefully you will get iasl.

I do have trouble with bison version 1.75, but I guess that my bison
is broken ? With bison 1.31, all seems to be OK.
Plus, I got some random core dump with the latest one?

It should be ByteAcc instead of AnyAcc

Hard to tell.  Need the PIUC definition:

OperationRegion(PIUC, ..., ..., ...)

and all the Field(s) (with their content) which
look like 

Field(PIUC, ...) {
...
}


(but if PIUC is a OP defined as a PCI_Config, I would say that it should be
ByteAcc, or WordAcc.  I doubt that it have to be DWordAcc).

It should be

	If(\_OSI("Windows 2001")) {

and you may have to add:
extern (\_OSI)
(but I am not sure if it is OK with latest iasl).

BTW, could you try 'iasl -d mydsdt' in order to disassemble your DSDT, and
check if 'If (\_OSI ("Windows 2001"))' is correct ?

Any DSDT gurus out there? This is from a Sony Vaio U1 BTW.

The problem is that the region is defined as 0x01 byte, and the field
specifies a minimum access width of Dword (4 bytes).

I did and it appears to produce better output than acpidump ...

It decompiled that "Windows 2001" line correctly as

                 If (\_OSI ("Windows 2001"))
                 {
                     Store (0x04, OSTP)
                 }

I fixed the "AnyAcc" error, and now all I see is ..

The OperationRegion line reads ..

                 OperationRegion (PIUC, PCI_Config, 0x74, 0x01)

Does that provide enough info?

In this case, we know that PCI_Config space is always accessed by 32-bit
reads/writes, so change the Op region definition to length 4.

So how would I go about fixing that? Bear in mind I have no idea how 
these things are supposed to work ;-)

Do I change the "Field" line to ByteAcc instead of DWordAcc, or the 
"OperationRegion" line somehow?

This should be the last dumb question BTW *8-)

OK .. so I change the 0x01 here

to a 0x04 and re-compile and .. *drum roll* ..

Excellent!

The _only way_ to fix *correctly* this error is to know the
definition of all Field like 

Field (PIUC, ...) 
{
...
}

But you didn't give us this info.

For example, if it is
OperationRegion (PIUC, PCI_Config, 0x74, 0x01)
Field (REGS, DWordAcc, NoLock, Preserve)
({
	FOO, 8
})

Then a better fix is to make this:

Field (REGS, DWordAcc, NoLock, Preserve)
changed as:
Field (REGS, ByteAcc, NoLock, Preserve)

You know nothing about that the fact that PCI_Config space have
to be accessed as 32-bit reads/write.  It may be the
Field(PIUC, DWordAcc,...) to be bogus.  A better look of this field
is needed.

Imagine it look like 
Field(PIUC, DWordAcc, ...)
{
	FOO, 16
}

then a better fix is:
OperationRegion (PIUC, PCI_Config, 0x74, 0x02)
Field(PIUC, WordAcc, ...)
{
	FOO, 16
}

Or FOO may be 8 bit long.
In that case, a possible fix is:
OperationRegion (PIUC, PCI_Config, 0x74, 0x01)
Field(PIUC, ByteAcc, ...)
{
	FOO, 8
}


Unless sjb give us more info, we can not tell anything at this

I can't believe it.. Really.

This is done like this:

                OperationRegion (PIUC, PCI_Config, 0x74, 0x04)
                Field (PIUC, DWordAcc, Lock, Preserve)
                {
                    AccessAs (ByteAcc, 0x00), 
                    PIRU,   4
                }


I assume the original one was:

                OperationRegion (PIUC, PCI_Config, 0x74, 0x01)
                Field (PIUC, DWordAcc, Lock, Preserve)
                {
                    AccessAs (ByteAcc, 0x00), 
                    PIRU,   4
                }

Therefore, looking a little bit more, I think (not sure at 100% though)
that it is an ALi subsystem.

sjb, could you please try:

                OperationRegion (PIUC, PCI_Config, 0x74, 0x01)
                Field (PIUC, ByteAcc, Lock, Preserve)
                {
                    PIRU,   4
                }

That make more sense for me.
It should be related to USB routing control for
this ali southbridge chipset, which
have to be accessed as byte.

Ok.  It is a classic M1533.  Then 0x74 for this
southbridge have to be acceded as byte, not as double word (may be
different in an intel chip)

Just as well then.  I can maintain that the AML interpreter cannot
simply "guess" at which is wrong -- the length of the operation region,
or the access width of the field definition.
