在Intel® 82802AB/82802AC Firmware Hub (FWH)的data sheet里面,有下面一段话:
4 S, x7 G% H% S0 VThe firmware hub relies on the Intel Firmware Hub interface to communicate with the outside world. t8 j- _5 ]; e: g! h9 t! [
This interface consists of four bi-directional signals and one control input. The timing and electrical6 O1 ^, C, ]3 x* W1 u# D9 f. o& O

另外,可以看看这个:
