.Nd "System Management Application Program Interface driver"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
Many
|
|
.Tn IBM Thinkpad
|
|
laptops utilize a special software interface known as
|
|
.Tn SMAPI
|
|
(System Management Application Program Interface).
|
|
This interface controls various aspects of the system including:
|
|
.Bl -bullet
|
|
.It
|
|
System Interface
|
|
(the
|
|
.Tn BIOS
|
|
can store system information such as the system identifier),
|
|
.It
|
|
System Configuration (where devices such as the display can be configured),
|
|
.It
|
|
Power Management (software can interact with the
|
|
.Tn SMAPI BIOS
|
|
for Power Management control).
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Client software must locate a
|
|
.Dq "header image"
|
|
stored in the
|
|
.Li F000
|
|
segment in the
|
|
.Tn Thinkpad ROM
|
|
(read-only memory), which resides at the 16-byte boundary.
|
|
This is considered the
|
|
.Dq "Entry Point"
|
|
for the service.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Dq "header image"
|
|
stores information like:
|
|
.Bl -bullet
|
|
.It
|
|
signature,
|
|
.It
|
|
.Tn SMAPI
|
|
version (major and minor),
|
|
.It
|
|
header image length,
|
|
.It
|
|
checksum information (which verifies the image),
|
|
.It
|
|
an Information Word (used to identify the
|
|
.Tn BIOS
|
|
service level),
|
|
.It
|
|
Real Mode Entry Point (where clients using the
|
|
Real/V86 mode for the far-call value),
|
|
.It
|
|
and finally a 16-bit/32-bit Protected Mode Entry
|
|
Point: base code address which specifies the
|
|
.Tn BIOS
|
|
physical address.
|
|
The client must prepare a 64 kilobyte selector for this
|
|
.Tn BIOS ) .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To invoke the
|
|
.Tn SMAPI BIOS ,
|
|
a far-call must be used on the entry point specified in the header file.
|
|
All other information should be stored in the client data area.
|
|
The client is required to prepare both an input and output parameter in a
|
|
data area of its own.
|
|
This area can be
|
|
.Dq informed
|
|
by pushing those pointers into its stack before the far-calls.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Tn SMAPI BIOS
|
|
uses the stack and data areas with the selector during a
|
|
.Tn BIOS
|
|
invocation, thus the caller must define the same privilege area as the
|
|
.Tn BIOS .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The parameter structure will be made up by using the input and output
|
|
fields prepared by the caller.
|
|
The input field will specify the function request to the
|
|
.Tn BIOS .
|
|
The
|
|
.Tn BIOS
|
|
will then drop a return value into the output field.
|
|
These fields are made up of three parts.
|
|
The first holds parameters, function numbers, and return codes.
|
|
The next will contain an offset in hexadecimal.
|
|
Finally a length field which is comprised of Byte, Word, or Double Word.
