WMI embedded Binary MOF driver
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
Introduction
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
Many machines embed WMI Binary MOF (Managed Object Format) metadata used to
|
|
describe the details of their ACPI WMI interfaces. The data can be decoded
|
|
with tools like `bmfdec <https://github.com/pali/bmfdec>`_ to obtain a
|
|
human readable WMI interface description, which is useful for developing
|
|
new WMI drivers.
|
|
|
|
The Binary MOF data can be retrieved from the ``bmof`` sysfs attribute of the
|
|
associated WMI device. Please note that multiple WMI devices containing Binary
|
|
MOF data can exist on a given system.
|
|
|
|
WMI interface
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
The Binary MOF WMI device is identified by the WMI GUID ``05901221-D566-11D1-B2F0-00A0C9062910``.
|
|
The Binary MOF can be obtained by doing a WMI data block query. The result is
|
|
then returned as an ACPI buffer with a variable size.
