Specifically, the hierarchical data +extension node which is referred to by the key shall lie directly under the +parent object i.e. either the device object or another hierarchical data +extension node. + +The keys in the hierarchical data nodes shall consist of the name of the node, +"@" character and the number of the node in hexadecimal notation (without pre- +or postfixes). The same ACPI object shall include the _DSD property extension +with a property "reg" that shall have the same numerical value as the number of +the node. + +In case a hierarchical data extensions node has no numerical value, then the +"reg" property shall be omitted from the ACPI object's _DSD properties and the +"@" character and the number shall be omitted from the hierarchical data +extension key. + + +Example +------- + + In the ASL snippet below, the "reference" _DSD property [2] contains a + device object reference to DEV0 and under that device object, a + hierarchical data extension key "node@1" referring to the NOD1 object + and lastly, a hierarchical data extension key "anothernode" referring to + the ANOD object which is also the final target node of the reference. + + Device (DEV0) + { + Name (_DSD, Package () { + ToUUID("dbb8e3e6-5886-4ba6-8795-1319f52a966b"), + Package () { + Package () { "node@0", NOD0 }, + Package () { "node@1", NOD1 }, + } + }) + Name (NOD0, Package() { + ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"), + Package () { + Package () { "random-property", 3 }, + } + }) + Name (NOD1, Package() { + ToUUID("dbb8e3e6-5886-4ba6-8795-1319f52a966b"), + Package () { + Package () { "anothernode", ANOD }, + } + }) + Name (ANOD, Package() { + ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"), + Package () { + Package () { "random-property", 0 }, + } + }) + } + + Device (DEV1) + { + Name (_DSD, Package () { + ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"), + Package () { + Package () { "reference", ^DEV0, "node@1", "anothernode" }, + } + }) + } + +Please also see a graph example in graph.txt . + +References +---------- + +[1] Hierarchical Data Extension UUID For _DSD. + <URL:http://www.uefi.org/sites/default/files/resources/_DSD-hierarchical-data-extension-UUID-v1.1.pdf>, + referenced 2018-07-17. + +[2] Device Properties UUID For _DSD. + <URL:http://www.uefi.org/sites/default/files/resources/_DSD-device-properties-UUID.pdf>, + referenced 2016-10-04. |
