Hello everyone,
I am a trainee at STMicroelectronics France. I am working on a project "Setting up a boot chain ACPI" for STM32MPU, which is based on ARM Cortex-A . The objective of my project is to add a way of booting (with ACPI) besides Device Tree available on STM32MPU.
I found that ACPI was enabled on some x86 platforms
I believe you meant here the niche of the (x86) platforms that are not ACPI-enabled. By default 99% of the x86 platforms are ACPI enabled with the exceptions: - Intel MID (2010-2015, SFI based, enabled in U-Boot) - Tunnel Creek (2010, DT based) - A few SpreadTrum SoCs (2017, DT based)
but I don't know whether it was set up on ARM or not. I found a PATCH that discussed Enabling ACPI booting on ARM with Raspberry Pi 4 but I don't know if it functioned or not. Did anyone here succeed in setting up ACPI on ARM by U-boot?
What are the differences between x86 and ARM platforms when enabling ACPI? The architecture of my board STM32PMU is ARM so can I apply the technique used on platform x86 for my board?
