INT 15 - Intel System Management Bus - 32-BIT PROTECTED-MODE CONNECT AX = 53B0h BH = 04h CX = 6941h ('iA') Return: CF clear if successful AX = SMBus 32-bit code segment (real mode base address) EBX = offset of entry point into SMBus BIOS Interface CX = SMBus 16-bit code segment (real mode base address) DX = SMBus data segment (real mode base address) SI = code segment length in bytes DI = data segment length in bytes CF set if error AH = error code (01h,02h,0Ah,86h) (see #00484) AL = sub-error code if error code is 02h (see #00485) Desc: connect to SMBus interface; once connected, all SMBus calls are made to the supplied entry point instead of INT 15 (with registers identical to those described here for INT 15) Notes: before calling the entry point, two descriptors must be initialized in the GDT or LDT. They must be consecutive and be in the order of 32-bit code, 16-bit code, then data. At the time of the call, the descriptors must be valid and have CPL=0. the code descriptors must be ring-0 privilege this function is supported only in INT 15 mode SeeAlso: AX=53B0h/BH=01h,AX=53B0h/BH=02h,AX=53B0h/BH=03h,AX=53B0h/BH=05h
