This + interface controls various aspects of the system including:</p> +<ul class="Bl-bullet"> + <li>System Interface (the BIOS can store system information such as the system + identifier),</li> + <li>System Configuration (where devices such as the display can be + configured),</li> + <li>Power Management (software can interact with the SMAPI BIOS for Power + Management control).</li> +</ul> +<p class="Pp">Client software must locate a “header image” stored + in the <code class="Li">F000</code> segment in the Thinkpad ROM (read-only + memory), which resides at the 16-byte boundary. This is considered the + “Entry Point” for the service.</p> +<p class="Pp">The “header image” stores information like:</p> +<ul class="Bl-bullet"> + <li>signature,</li> + <li>SMAPI version (major and minor),</li> + <li>header image length,</li> + <li>checksum information (which verifies the image),</li> + <li>an Information Word (used to identify the BIOS service level),</li> + <li>Real Mode Entry Point (where clients using the Real/V86 mode for the + far-call value),</li> + <li>and finally a 16-bit/32-bit Protected Mode Entry Point: base code address + which specifies the BIOS physical address. The client must prepare a 64 + kilobyte selector for this BIOS).</li> +</ul> +<p class="Pp">To invoke the 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 + “informed” by pushing those pointers into its stack before the + far-calls.</p> +<p class="Pp">The SMAPI BIOS uses the stack and data areas with the selector + during a BIOS invocation, thus the caller must define the same privilege + area as the BIOS.</p> +<p class="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 BIOS. The 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.</p> +</section> +<section class="Sh"> +<h1 class="Sh" id="SEE_ALSO"><a class="permalink" href="#SEE_ALSO">SEE + ALSO</a></h1> +<p class="Pp"><cite class="Rs"><i class="RsB">IBM Thinkpad 560/560E Technical + Reference</i>, <span class="RsO">06J0536 S76H-7587-01</span>.</cite></p> +<p class="Pp"><cite class="Rs"><i class="RsB">IBM Thinkpad 560Z Technical + Reference</i>, <span class="RsO">xxxxxxx xxxx-xxxx-xx</span>.</cite></p> +<p class="Pp"><cite class="Rs"><i class="RsB">IBM Thinkpad 600 Technical + Reference</i>, <span class="RsO">xxxxxxx xxxx-xxxx-xx</span>.</cite></p> +<p class="Pp"><cite class="Rs"><i class="RsB">IBM Thinkpad 760XD/760XL/765D/765L + Technical Reference</i>, <span class="RsO">06J0537 + S30H-2433-02</span>.</cite></p> +<p class="Pp"><cite class="Rs"><i class="RsB">IBM Thinkpad 770 Technical + Reference</i>, <span class="RsO">05L1739 S05L-1739-00</span>.</cite></p> +</section> +<section class="Sh"> +<h1 class="Sh" id="AUTHORS"><a class="permalink" href="#AUTHORS">AUTHORS</a></h1> +<p class="Pp">The <code class="Nm">smapi</code> driver was written by + <span class="An">Matthew N.
