Thomas, 
Do you really need all DSDTs on sourceforge web?
If yes, I will try to export them and make a whole tarball, put
somewhere to let you download.

Thanks

Never mind bundling them for me, I hacked up a little script to get them
all.

FYI, I used the following script to make a web page with links to all of
the DSDT files.

for ((i=0;i<=1000;i+=1));
do
	echo '<A href="http://acpi.sourceforge.net/dsdt/dl.php?id='$i'"> DSDT
'$i'</A>' >> links.html;
done

The I loaded links.html into firefox and used the down them all
extension to download all of the links. Some of them are not valid, and
result in files named "---custom.gz". Once these are erased I am left
with 652 files.

This bundle for the total 652 DSDT files is available here: http://acpi.sourceforge.net/dsdt/dsdtall.tar.gz

RE: DSDT database

[Moore, Robert]

I find the DSDTs to be useful for examining the code that is written by
the various BIOS vendors, to find typical practices, unusual practices,
etc. Useful in the development of the AML interpreter and ASL compiler.

For this reason, the more DSDTs available, the better.

Bob

DSDT database

[Thomas W. Carley]

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

ACPI list,

I am looking into the level of SMBus support in ACPI implementations. I
see that the sourceforge project has 652 DSDT's in its database. I would
like to run some automated scripts over these to get some statistics
about the level of SMBus support. However, downloading them one at a
time will take forever. Is the DSDT database available in whole? Can
someone send me a link, or send the files directly?

Thank you,
	Tom Carley

Maybe Yu Ling knows how to get "behind the mirrors" of the web server
and can run something for you there?

Another possibility is that you supply the script you want to run
and folks on the list can mail you the output.  While I've never
submitted a DSDT to the web site because I fundamentally do not
believe it modifying DSDTs as a solution for Linux problems,
I do have a couple DSDTs on hand.

BTW. exactly what is it that you are trying to learn?

cheers,

Re: DSDT database

I am interested in identifying and manipulating SMBus devices. I am most
interested in the clock generator, SMBus address 0x69. However, from
what I can see each clock generator has a VERY different SMBus register
layout. From reading the standard I see that the ACPI DSDT table is
capable of enumerating SMBus devices, but from the few DSDT tables I
have looked at there is never any SMBus devises, and often the SMBus
master itself is not represented. Now, I have only looked at about 6 so
far. I was hoping that looking at more may give me an idea of how common
it is to have SMBus devices listed in the DSDT.

A a slightly off note, since I see some Intel people here, I have been
trying to get a hold of the Intel Clock Synthesizer recommendations with
little success. I have CK97 and CK00. I see references to a CK410,
CK510, etc. Does anyone know where I can find these specs? I have trying
calling and emailing Intel support with no success.

In the end, I am trying to find a standard way of at least identifying
which clock generator is on a machine with only software. That is, no
peaking at the motherboard. Short of that, any standard methods for
manipulating the clock generator would do.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, and thank you for the responses I
have received so far.

Tom Carley.
