在Intel® 82802AB/82802AC Firmware Hub (FWH)的data sheet里面,有下面一段话:4 f5 |& M" D0 `. r" U- b. @
The firmware hub relies on the Intel Firmware Hub interface to communicate with the outside world. X* g6 i- @: c! b2 q& n0 F" {
This interface consists of four bi-directional signals and one control input. The timing and electrical: |! X0 h6 f9 H4 _0 j
