File SINIT-guide.txt of Package intel-SINIT

This document is intended to be a guide for selecting the correct SINIT AC
module for a given Intel chipset (G)MCH or CPU.


SINIT AC module file names are formatted as:
    <chipset product designation>_SINIT_<version>.BIN
or
    <CPU family>_SINIT_<version>.BIN

where:
<chipset product designation> : This is the product name/code/model of the
                                Intel chipset(s) supported by the SINIT AC
                                module
<CPU family> : This is the family of CPUs which are supported by the SINIT
               AC module
<version> : This is the version of the AC module (InfoTable.AcmVersion).

The SINIT AC modules provided are all production-signed.

The PCI host bridge ID can be determined by running 'lspci -nn' and looking
for the "Host bridge" device (often the first); the ID will be the hexadecimal
number in square brackets after "8086:".
