    摘要: An ACPI (Non-Volatile Sleeping) NVS memory region is allocated and defined so that a system BIOS can allocate a placeholder for the different parameters that are passed from the ACPI ASL code to the system management mode (SMM) handler for execution of real mode calls. The different parameters will be updated by runtime ACPI ASL code depending on what needs to be passed to the SMM handler. The SMM handler invokes appropriate calls based on retrieving of different parameters in the ACPI NVS memory region that have been passed from the ACPI ASL code.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention provide for an ACPI Non-Volatile Sleeping (NVS) memory region that is allocated and defined so that a system BIOS can save CMOS based memory content at the ACPI NVS memory region during power on system test (POST). The ACPI NVS memory region and it's associated content, is accessible to both OS and non-OS software during runtime execution.
