Acpi driver for windows

These fields are ignored by Windows, but must be present in the table for compliance. For more information, see section 5.

For more information about these descriptors, see sections 5. The interrupt controller descriptor structures are listed immediately after the Flags field in the MADT. The GIC corresponding to the boot processor must be the first entry in the list of interrupt controller descriptors. As with the interrupt controller, there is a standard timer description table in ACPI. Core System Resources CSRs are shared hardware functions such as interrupt controllers, timers and DMA controllers to which the operating system must serialize access.

However, until the industry converges on DMA controller interface standards, there is a need to support some non-standard devices in the operating system. Windows supports the concept of HAL extensions to address this issue.

Windows uses the identifier provided for the resource group to find and load the required HAL extension for this group. The format and use of these resource descriptors is defined by the HAL extension writer, who can make the extension much more portable and thereby support a variety of different SoC platforms simply by changing the resource descriptors contained in the CSRT.

To support maintenance of HAL extensions, and to manage the system resources used by these extensions, each resource group described in the CSRT must also be represented as a device within the platform's ACPI namespace. The device identifiers used in the resource group header must match the identifiers used in the device's namespace node. The existence of these resource group namespace devices allows the HAL extension to be serviced by the Windows Update Service.

Microsoft requires a debug port on all systems. This table specifies one or more independent port s for debugging purposes. The presence of the DBG2 table indicates that the platform includes at least one debug port.

To fix your Drivers problems you will need to know the particular model of the ACPI device you are having problems with. Once you have the details you can search the ACPI website for your drivers and, if available, download and install these drivers.

If you are unsure of whether or not you need to update your Drivers, or indeed which Drivers may need to be updated, you can run a Drivers scan using a driver update tool you will need to pay to register this tool but usually the Drivers scan is free.
