Abstract:
1. A system executing one or more processors that facilitates AML (ACPI Machine Language) access to an SMBus (System Management Bus), comprising the following components: an AML event handler component embodied on a computer readable storage medium; and, a driver component embodied on the computer readable storage medium that identifies an SMBus event and dispatches the SMBus event to the AML event handler, where the AML event handler employs at least one of a three parameter buffer access read method to read data from an operation region associated with the SMBus or a three parameter buffer access write method to write data to an operation region associated with the SMBus, where a first parameter of the three parameter buffer access read method provides an initial data to a computer component providing access to the operation region associated with the SMBus and where a second parameter of the three parameter buffer access read method is a reference to the operation region associated with the SMBus from which the data will be read.
