    Abstract: A device information management system comprises an application device and a BIOS ROM. The BIOS ROM comprises at least one specific region storing device information for the application device. The specific region is not used by a BIOS and not within a calculation range for checksum calculation. The BIOS ROM further comprises an index recording an address of the specific region. The application device reads the index from the BIOS ROM, and reads the device information from the specific region according to the index.

    Abstract: An interruption control system includes a first input/output interruption controller, a second input/output interruption controller, and an interruption control device bus. The first input/output interruption controller is coupled to a first peripheral device and a south bridge chip, and asserts a wake-up signal to the south bridge chip in response to a first interrupt signal issued by the first peripheral device so as to deactivate a power-saving state of the computer system. The second input/output interruption controller is coupled to a second peripheral device and a north bridge chip, and asserts a third interrupt signal in response to a second interrupt signal issued by the second peripheral device. Via the interruption control device bus, the third interrupt signal is transmitted from the second input/output interruption controller to the first input/output interruption controller, wherein the first input/output interruption controller asserts the wake-up signal to deactivate the power-saving state of the computer system in response to the third interrupt signal.

    Abstract: A method and a chipset for supporting a system management mode interrupt of a multi-processor system. While the central processing is accessing the specified input/output port defined by the chipset, the chipset detects the specified input/output port at the peripheral component interface bus and extracts the trap data to store into the chipset. Therefore, while entering the system management mode, a first central processing unit executes a proper operation according to the trap data of the chipset, and a second central processing unit stands by until the proper operation is completed by the first central processing unit. Thus, when the central processing units in a multi-processor system enters the system management mode, the first central processing unit can access the parameters from chipset even though the system management interrupt is induced by the second central processing unit and the parameters are stored in the second CPU's state dump area. In this way, the error, that the first central processing unit does not know which parameters stored in the first central processing unit's state dump area or the second central processing unit's state dump area should be accessed, can be completely resolved.

    Abstract translation: 一种用于支持多处理器系统的系统管理模式中断的方法和芯片组。 当中央处理正在访问由芯片组定义的指定输入/输出端口时,芯片组检测外围组件接口总线上的指定输入/输出端口,并提取陷阱数据以存储到芯片组中。 因此,当进入系统管理模式时,第一中央处理单元根据芯片组的陷阱数据执行适当的操作,并且第二中央处理单元待机直到第一中央处理单元完成正确的操作。 因此,当多处理器系统中的中央处理单元进入系统管理模式时,即使系统管理中断由第二中央处理单元引起并且参数被存储在第一中央处理单元中,第一中央处理单元也可以从芯片组访问参数 第二个CPU的状态转储区域。 以这种方式,可以完全解决第一中央处理单元不知道存储在第一中央处理单元的状态转储区域或第二中央处理单元的状态转储区域中的参数的错误。
