在Intel® 82802AB/82802AC Firmware Hub (FWH)的data sheet里面,有下面一段话: Q8 P9 E; f @1 b" s& X9 a! ~
The firmware hub relies on the Intel Firmware Hub interface to communicate with the outside world.) N5 t% z0 W; ?" y7 c9 F
This interface consists of four bi-directional signals and one control input. The timing and electrical
