Other Dell software such as the open source libsmbios project +is expected to make use of this driver, and it may include the use of this +driver on other Dell systems. + +The Dell libsmbios project aims towards providing access to as much BIOS +information as possible. See http://linux.dell.com/libsmbios/main/ for +more information about the libsmbios project. + + +System Management Interrupt +=========================== + +On some Dell systems, systems management software must access certain +management information via a system management interrupt (SMI). The SMI data +buffer must reside in 32-bit address space, and the physical address of the +buffer is required for the SMI. The driver maintains the memory required for +the SMI and provides a way for the application to generate the SMI. +The driver creates the following sysfs entries for systems management +software to perform these system management interrupts:: + + /sys/devices/platform/dcdbas/smi_data + /sys/devices/platform/dcdbas/smi_data_buf_phys_addr + /sys/devices/platform/dcdbas/smi_data_buf_size + /sys/devices/platform/dcdbas/smi_request + +Systems management software must perform the following steps to execute +a SMI using this driver: + +1) Lock smi_data. +2) Write system management command to smi_data. +3) Write "1" to smi_request to generate a calling interface SMI or + "2" to generate a raw SMI. +4) Read system management command response from smi_data. +5) Unlock smi_data. + + +Host Control Action +=================== + +Dell OpenManage supports a host control feature that allows the administrator +to perform a power cycle or power off of the system after the OS has finished +shutting down.
