[Guide] Using Clover to "hotpatch" ACPI

[RehabMan]

Thanks. Yes. Because of I cannot some example.I find these errors. I posted #108.

What you have is obviously wrong. You cannot define duplicate symbols.

Same mistakes still present...

        Name (BSLF, Zero)
...

        Name (WRQK, 0x02)
        Name (RDQK, 0x03)
        Name (SDBT, 0x04)
        Name (RCBT, 0x05)
        Name (WRBT, 0x06)
        Name (RDBT, 0x07)
        Name (WRWD, 0x08)
        Name (RDWD, 0x09)
        Name (WRBL, 0x0A)
        Name (RDBL, 0x0B)
        Name (SBBY, 0x1A)

All of those symbols are defined in DSDT.

Yes. I want to use External to reach symbols already defined in DSDT.I cannot do it. So I wish that you can give me some example or helps

I can use External to reach the Method，Mutex，FieldUnit already defined in DSDT.But I cannot use External to reach

        Name (BSLF, Zero)
...

        Name (WRQK, 0x02)
        Name (RDQK, 0x03)
        Name (SDBT, 0x04)
        Name (RCBT, 0x05)
        Name (WRBT, 0x06)
        Name (RDBT, 0x07)
        Name (WRWD, 0x08)
        Name (RDWD, 0x09)
        Name (WRBL, 0x0A)
        Name (RDBL, 0x0B)
        Name (SBBY, 0x1A)

Thanks. I need some example.

Yes. I want to use External to reach symbols already defined in DSDT.I cannot do it. So I wish that you can give me some example or helps

For example:

        External (\_SB.PCI0.LPCB.EC0.BSLF)

 

[nayeweiyang]

For example:

        External (\_SB.PCI0.LPCB.EC0.BSLF)

Okay.Thanks very much. I will fix and test it.

Thanks again. Battery Status is working by hotpatch. I have learn much knowledge.

Congratulations.

Can I use clover hotpatches and patched SSDTs in EFI/Clover/ACPI/patched at the same time?
Can I get with clover hotpatches additional values?
What are the advantage over native DSDT and SSDTs?

Yes.

Can I get with clover hotpatches additional values?

I don't understand "get with clover hotpatches", nor what you mean by "additional values".

What are the advantage over native DSDT and SSDTs?

The advantages of the hotpatch technique are listed in post #1. Please read it.

Are the rename patches only for this notebook you are using for this guide or are the patches for all notebooks?
