在Intel® 82802AB/82802AC Firmware Hub (FWH)的data sheet里面,有下面一段话:& j4 ~ d: \* [3 f( } z7 N
The firmware hub relies on the Intel Firmware Hub interface to communicate with the outside world.

Intel FWH interface is designed to use an LPC-compatible start cycle, with a reserved cycle type code.

FWH和LPC基本是兼容的,不过FWH比LPC多几组命令
